4 Wis Supreme Court justices, lazy WisGOP legislators cause a big mess

Just a few thoughts on today silliness from the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Yes, it is absurd to claim that the state's Department of Health Services cannot continue to carry out measures to imp[rove public health, I knew that (at least 4) of these Republican hacks would likely find a way to tie the Evers' Administration's hands.

I didn't think these goofballs would screw up the timing of when the Safer at Home order would end. I figured they'd strike it down, but it would be largely symbolic, where they'd give the Legislature and Department of Health Services around 10 days to work something out.

But noooo, the WMC puppets couldn't even get that right.

In other words, the Safer at Home order is ended IMMEDIATELY, where theoretically bars and sit-down restaurants could open tonight! The Wisconsin Tavern League even jumped in and seemed to encourage this behavior.

Even worse, Chief Justice Pat Roggensack said that there should be time given to have the Legislature and the Evers Administration try to work this out. But then she didn't join the 3 dissenting justices in staying the decision!


So now we have a patchwork of rules that'll run throughout the state. Dane County has already stepped up to say that we'll remain under the Safer at Home rules through the original May 26 state deadline. But there will be other areas that will be (ahem) more lenient on restrictions, and if the dimwits who endanger themselves and their employees in these situations only got sick by themselves, whatever.

But they don't. These dopes endanger the rest of us, and I don't think there will be roadblocks set up at county lines to keep people from going to communities with different levels of restrictions in place (in fact, that would likely be an illegal restraint of commerce). And they use our medical facilities, and if they get sicker, they'll likely raise our insurance costs due to their reckless behaviors.

Lastly, let's not forget this key point. Republicans had several weeks to come up with a bill that would have set up a plan on re-opening the economy, and how that effort should be overseen. But they did NOTHING, and now we have nothing except confusion. Just like how they took 3 weeks to pass a bill to end the waiting period for unemployment, and cost our dwindling unemployment fund $25 million.

What is it....you do here?

And no, the WisGOPs still don't have a plan.

Yeah, that was already happening, guys. So, what got accomplished here?

If the "patriots" want to have their "freedum juice" at some careless establishment in the coming days, let em. But these people have really shown themselves as the self-absorbed whiners that they are, and I'm sure not going to be putting myself at risk because these arrogant jerks decide their needs are no much more important than the rest of us.
