" In a surprise move, Judge Kluka, who had presided over the Doe investigations for more than a year, recused herself from the case."

This broad has got to be irreparably dirty for them to use her. Find her give her immunity and she will sing like Shirley Bass.

“They came for the person down the street, for something not related to my life. I cringed but thank the Lord I was spared. Others like me as well felt relief. We didn’t do anything about it. Then, one day, they started coming for me and for the others...”

A made up, but very relevant scenario.

Thank you for posting this story.

This article does a better job of showing where Democrats really mean to take us than I have read in a very long time.

Good thing this didn’t happened to me, because it would have resulted in deaths.

This is a success story?

Walker has stood by and watched this evil fascism blossom?

The leftists of today would stand and cheer house to house executions of conservatives

Success story?

Walker has done what to stop this evil fascism?

For dozens of conservatives, the years since Scott Walker’s first election as governor of Wisconsin transformed the state — known for pro-football championships, good cheese, and a population with a reputation for being unfailingly polite — into a place where conservatives have faced early-morning raids, multi-year secretive criminal investigations, slanderous and selective leaks to sympathetic media, and intrusive electronic snooping. Yes, Wisconsin, the cradle of the progressive movement and home of the “Wisconsin idea” — the marriage of state governments and state universities to govern through technocratic reform — was giving birth to a new progressive idea, the use of law enforcement as a political instrument, as a weapon to attempt to undo election results, shame opponents, and ruin lives.

Most Americans have never heard of these raids, or of the lengthy criminal investigations of Wisconsin conservatives. For good reason. Bound by comprehensive secrecy orders, conservatives were left to suffer in silence as leaks ruined their reputations, as neighbors, looking through windows and dismayed at the massive police presence, the lights shining down on targets’ homes, wondered, no doubt, What on earth did that family do? This was the on-the-ground reality of the so-called John Doe investigations, expansive and secret criminal proceedings that directly targeted Wisconsin residents because of their relationship to Scott Walker, their support for Act 10, and their advocacy of conservative reform.

Largely hidden from the public eye, this traumatic process, however, is now heading toward a legal climax, with two key rulings expected in the late spring or early summer. The first ruling, from the Wisconsin supreme court, could halt the investigations for good, in part by declaring that the “misconduct” being investigated isn’t misconduct at all but the simple exercise of First Amendment rights. The second ruling, from the United States Supreme Court, could grant review on a federal lawsuit brought by Wisconsin political activist Eric O’Keefe and the Wisconsin Club for Growth, the first conservatives to challenge the investigations head-on. If the Court grants review, it could not only halt the investigations but also begin the process of holding accountable those public officials who have so abused their powers. But no matter the outcome of these court hearings, the damage has been done. In the words of Mr. O’Keefe, “The process is the punishment.”

Tell me again how when the time comes, they’ll refuse to obey illegal and unconstitutional orders.

One more reason why public employees should never, ever be permitted to organize.

It’s bad enough that the people on the hook to pay their wages (the taxpayers) are not represented in any contract negotiations.

But, this? This is incredible.

Chisholm and Kluka are a couple of sick ***ks. They need a taste of their own medicine, preferably administered rectally.

Police are union correct? They sure as hell aren’t your friend. They are the armed foot shock troops of their union handlers.

John Chisholm

This is even worse than the treatment Tom DeLay received.

I want to see examples set.
There must be prison, loss of assets, and humiliation.
From Chisholm, down to the officers involved in the raids.

Anything less is tacit approval of totalitarianism.

How can they be told not to gat a lawyer and not to tell anyone and they followed orders? How can that happen in this country? Why did they follow the orders, were they threatened?
