On John Doe, DAs Deserve Our Thanks!

"The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign thanks the courageous district attorneys John Chisholm, Ismael Ozanne, and Larry Nelson for appealing the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s decision in the John Doe II case to the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday.

While the details of their appeal have not been made public yet, there are two solid grounds for the appeal.

The first is that at least a couple of the justices should have recused themselves from the John Doe case because of a conflict of interest.

The four justices on the Wisconsin Supreme Court who dismissed the John Doe investigation concerning alleged coordination between Scott Walker and so-called outside groups were aided enormously by some of the very groups that were party to the John Doe case."

...that SCOTUS will actually certify this case to be heard....

but...

with a 4-4 tie, the lower court's ruling will stand...and become law...

and...

SCOTUS is arguably just as tainted as the Wisconsin Supreme Court...

hate to be a downer on this...but year after year the Conservatives (Republicans) have built firewalls against any chance for the Democratic Party to stop them from their rape, pillage and plunder of Wisconsin's proud Progressive traditions...it's been in place for years...and we (Democrats) didn't recognize the brilliance of the strategy until it was too late.
