GOP's electoral silver lining: Wisconsin legislative supermajority, Illinois school board wins
Just the News ^ | 4/6/23 | Natalia Mittelstadt

While a bitter taste still lingers from progressive wins at the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Chicago city hall, Republicans are savoring two electoral gains this week with long-term consequences: a new supermajority in the Wisconsin legislature and conservative school board wins in Chicago's suburbs.

In fact, state Rep. Dan Knodl's capture of a vacant Wisconsin state Senate seat on Tuesday already has Republicans contemplating using their new two-thirds majority in the chamber to possibly remove liberal officials like elected judges and district attorneys through impeachment.

Knodl said before he was elected, he would consider impeaching Milwaukee County court officials, including judges and George Soros-backed Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm.

Knodl said one of those he would consider voting to remove from office would be Janet Protasiewicz, a Milwaukee judge who won a vacant seat on the state Supreme Court Tuesday that tipped the court's majority to liberals' advantage with major rulings on abortion ahead.

It's good to see conservatives taking over more school boards. That's a fight we have to win in order to advance in other areas.

It’s Wisconsin... I’m guessing any super majority legislation passed will end going to the Wisconsin Supreme Court and will be overturned.

“It’s Wisconsin... I’m guessing any super majority legislation passed will end going to the Wisconsin Supreme Court and will be overturned.”

Yes. The super majority is of little use with a liberal State Supreme Court.

Deep State’s frontmen are idiots.

Deep State is not.

It won’t steal more than it has to steal.

We need to fight locally, so we can get more true conservatives ready for office.

A bottom up approach is better then a top down approach.

It is not enough to simply impeach these Rat judges. They need to be arrested and imprisoned, awaiting their execution date.

It’s long past time letting these evil bastards get away with the destruction of society. Now it’s time for ALL of them to taste the sweet elixir of sodium pentothal, with a dash of Pancuronium bromide and a teaspoon of Potassium chloride.

This will be their reward. It is what awaits them.

Just the News is playing fast and loose with their terminology here. Wisconsin didn’t gain a Super-majority, which would be veto proof, and Evers does like his veto powers. We merely held onto Roberta Darling’s seat. She was a long-standing Republican who retired, and it was feared the seat would go Dem.

WI time-place-and-manner election law is up to the state legislature. If the WI Supreme Court doesn't think so then it is the USSC's job to make sure that constitutional right is upheld.

Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1 of the Constitution doesn't mention a state governor having anything to do with state election law.

So what? We are talking about the Wisconsin legislature election results in general, and whether Evers has been veto proofed.
