I'm going Godwin here, too.
Today, a judge clarified her earlier ruling enjoining the state of Wisconsin from enacting the Union Busting Bill of 2011.
Then, a few seconds later, Walker's assistant AG says, "Of course, the law is in full effect."
Walker's an idiot.
But it's almost like he's Governor William J. Lepetomane. He's a useful idiot for the conniving bastards who run things behind the scenes. But he's also the most recent expression of that pesky and over-exposed "Overton Window". By literally ignoring the rule of law in his own state, he makes the similarly odious and extralegal actions by Kasich in Ohio and Snyder in Michigan seem somehow less radical.
Walker might ultimately be a farce before all is said and done, but he's doing real damage to the polity of Wisconsin.
And there is no false equivalency on the Left. Sorry, no Democrats behave this way. Obamacare was not passed with the Republicans absent from the House and Senate. It was not hastily called to the floor while members were away.
This is a putsch. Plain and simple.
As John Cole succinctly put it, "We're going to need a no-fly zone in Madison before these lunatics are done."
