WI GOP Assembly Speaker Robin Vos threatens to take power away from Tony Evers before January

Wisconsin GOP legislative leaders are threatening to restrict the newly elected Governor Tony Evers.

Apparently they don't believe in "Let the voters speak". We spoke and kicked out Scott Walker and his AG.

The North Carolina legislators tried this move in the pass, when a Democratic Governor was elected, and failed.

Like the OP said, they tried this in North Carolina. Luckily the courts stopped them. With Repubs packing the courts, that is becoming harder and harder.

Repubs are trying to destroy the Constitution to seize and retain power.

we sent them packing yesterday, so they're planning retaliation.

all they're really trying to roll back, is the extra power they gave Mr Nobody when he took office.
