I am somewhat amazed by recent events in Wisconsin. While the media overall seems to have quite dramatically misunderstood what is happening, the people of Wisconsin are not only paying attention--they seem to fully understand!  The recent release of emails from the governor to state senators is a case in point. This morning I heard one group of pundits say this is evidence that the governor has always been willing to compromise. I don't read it that way. It is clear to me that these emails were and continue to be an example of the governor's unwillingness to actually compromise. They are attempts to get one or two of the Democrats back to the state so the senate can pass the bill (something he quite openly discussed in the infamous phone call to the fake Koch brother). The majority leader in the Senate has always pointed out that the bill would half to be passed as is and then amended--sheer nonsense. The assembly has passed the bill as is and it would be a slap in their face to not pass the same bill. Does he expect us to forget how they passed that bill?????? I don't think it would pass judicial review. I maintain that they have not legally passed anything, parliamentary tricks notwithstanding. What assurances are there that any additional actions would actually occur?? No, the governor thinks that lying in the defense of ideology is fine. Wisconsin disagrees.
