Wisconsin is the cancer that will bring this country to it's knees.

This is the kind of unjust court Walker and the Koch bros. Will install if he is president. The man has no ethical compass. He sold the weak one he had, to become Governor.

If this was decided purely as a matter of state law, it would be very difficult to invoke federal jurisdiction, but it would be a question worth looking in to.

and that comment was made by a -republican- lawyer speaking Thurs afternoon on Madison's 92.1 FM.

The interference with other on-going investigations is the issue there. Essentially, the ruling created an obstruction of the law by a court

He's not simply an opportunistic and dishonest politician, there is something deeply wrong with him. And the Koch brothers and other right wing extremist backers think they can work with that. Good luck.

Can't quite figure out what that means.

Unless by some distant chance you mean "its knees", as in the knees belonging to it.

It apostrophe s means it is. The possessive has no apostrophe.

The grammar witch signing off.
