Wisconissippi Republican legislators are actually saying, and voting to end, the power they

gave governor Walker, now claiming that power is unfair and not a proper division of governmental powers. Basically they are saying that they were frauds before and that they are going to continue being hypocritical frauds. The republicans lost every single constitutional office in our state this election...hopefully that trend continues.

Not only do they want to hamstring our newly elected democratic governor, they want to do the same to the newly elected democratic attorney general. They also seem to think that they should be able to end run him and hire their own attorneys when they don’t like what he is doing. All at the expense of wisconissippi tax payers.

This is what happens when a group thinks that they not only have the right to govern but the inherent right to rule as if they were royalty.

If there is anything I hate more than republicans I’m not sure what it is. Criminals make me furious and these criminals are the most infuriating. Karma is on its way though, perhaps slowly, but it is on its way.

to nullify the results of the midterm election, and the will of the people.

It is either that or try for a recall petition of those leading this charge
