It's awesome, in the original sense of the word: I feel a sense of awe looking at it. Do you have a similar tree in your neighborhood?

11/10 The local paper filed on the story after I sent the editor a pdf of the decision, although they misquote the judge, claiming that "Levine ruled the case was moot and that Werner failed to present a 'justifiable controversy.'" But Judge Levine wrote no such thing. He ruled that there was no *justiciable* controversy; justiciable is not the same word as justifiable.

TLDR the decision was for the defendant and against the plaintiff; it’s not even a case that could have resulted in a decision for the plaintiff because it’s not a case for the court to decide at all, said Judge Levine. This is reassuring to me, except for some lingering concerns which I’ll point out below. #wisconsin #wivote 2/??
#Wisconsin Republicans Went to Extremes in #Gerrymandering. Now They’re Scrambling to Protect That Power.

It’s this whole thing that’s scary going on in this country, that if you can’t defeat people’s votes then you do it in some other way.
#Protasiewicz won #Wisconsin’s supreme court election in April, giving liberals a 4-3 majority on the court, their first in 15 years. But Republicans began to float #impeaching Protasiewicz before the results were even known.
The party has already locked down control of the legislature, using aggressive #gerrymanders to protect itself from election defeats.
It has also deflated the powers of the Democratic governor, Tony Evers, undercutting his #authority to appoint people to executive branch positions.

#Minnesota, #Wisconsin and #Iowa continue to experience #drought degradations. In MN, extreme drought or worse increased to 26.07% from 19.21%, although conditions in the northeast part of the state improved following rains. WI is currently 63.44% in moderate drought or worse, up from 59.41% last week. In IA — now 170 consecutive weeks in drought — exceptional drought was introduced, covering 4.96% of the state. Only 2.04% of Wisconsin and 0.19% of Iowa are drought-free.
@MadisonMonkey
I wonder how much the smoke from the Canadian Wildfires disrupted the Spring migration patterns. #Wisconsin got a heavy dose of smoke and the birds may have gone more east and west this year.
We seem to still have a lot of activity from smaller birds at our backyard feeders. We still get a lot of Cardinals, Bluejays and Woodpeckers, but out in the "wild" the waterfowl, cranes and blackbirds are few and far between.
Anyone from #Wisconsin and those Midwest territories will tell you, it’s not "Oops" but "Ope!" It’s a catch-all word, a force-multiplier for regular words that need a little “Ope” up-front—you betcha.
Charlie Berens of Manitowoc is as reliable a cultural ambassador as the Badger State has, and he made this humble ode to the good life in Wisconsin—“Ope Nope!”
A rescue mission is underway to help the thousands of stranded #mussels along the #Wisconsin River get back into deeper water as #drought reduces the river's flow. Some mussels have already died.

53) The #GOP state party has a lot of variables to consider should they opt to use #impeachment in attempting to remove Justice Protasiewic. There is no guiding ethical precedent for such an action
Excellent exchange between Ben Wikler, the #Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair and Josh Marshall of @tpm_rss_bot at the video 🔽 .
The #GOP seems to have found itself under increasing national scrutiny as this drama plays out. More to come!
52) #Wisconsin will be one of the battleground statres of #Election2024. The state will also be host to the #GOP convention.
The GOP dominates the state legislature and is attempting to remove a recently elected liberal justice from the state supreme court. Why?
With the election of Justice Protasiewicz, Wisoconsin's Supreme Court now has a liberal majority. That majority will likely redraw the Gerrymandered State and Federal election districts
That tracks. The only thing that the #Wisconsin #GOP hates more than education is diversity, equity, and inclusion.

#Wisconsin
Two controversial votes at Wisconsin's state Capitol show GOP efforts to shape elections.
Wisconsin Public Radio reports on the move to oust the state's top election official and overhaul how state legislative maps are created.
#Democracy #Elections #Wisconsin
Don Moynihan writes:
"Because of the actions of Republicans, the state is at a new and shocking low.
Threatening a judge who challenges the existing power structure by calling for more democratic representation is the sort of thing we associate with authoritarian regimes.
The removal of a troublesome official who will not go along with those seeking to overturn an election is banana republic stuff.
This is where Wisconsin is now." https://donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-heads-i-win-tails-you-lose-democracy
A question it might do well for political scientists, historians, and scholars in general to ask:
Where does that authoritarian strain in Wisconsin Republicanism come from? Racism — as in seeking to invalidate the votes of large urban areas with significant Black populations — plays a key role, seems to me. Religion of a sort, too. Remember Joe McCarthy? And then there's the hugely nefarious influence of the Koch brothers, who bought Scott Walker.
As Kate Riga states,Wisconsin Republicans are on an "authoritarian tear," and their vote to remove from office Meagan Wolfe, administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, is "just the latest episode in Wisconsin Republicans’ brazenly anti-democratic bender."

“#Legal experts and the #Wisconsin attorney general have disputed the move by #Republican senators to remove Wolfe, a respected and accomplished non-partisan leader.

"Republicans politicized the courts because the courts stood in the way of their racist, anti-gay, forced-birth agenda. If Democrats refuse to fight back, that agenda will be the law of the land, and elections will become the political force that doesn’t really matter."

Our country has never seen anything quite like what is unfolding in Wisconsin. …
The Republican initiative is about more than trying to take out one political opponent in one state. Rather, it is part of a cross-national MAGA assault on truth, government institutions, the law and the vote itself."
~ Dennis Aftergut and Austin Sarat
Excellent reported column on the lack of meaningful democracy in #Wisconsin. Because of Republican gerrymandering not only does a persistent minority of voters control the legislature, that undemocratic body is attacking and limiting the power of executive and judicial officeholders who have been elected with a majority of the vote.

They aim to ensure “that votes cast will be for those constitutionally qualified to hold office, that a #disqualified candidate does not siphon off support from…candidates of choice, & that voters are not deprived of the chance to vote for a qualified candidate in the general election,” the #lawsuit says.
Similar efforts are unfolding in other states. Last month, …#FreeSpeechForPeople wrote to… #Florida, #NewHampshire, #NewMexico, #Ohio & #Wisconsin, urging them not to include #Trump on ballots.
"[T]he [Wisconsin] GOP is threatening to use its illegally gotten supermajority to prevent a justice, elected by an overwhelming majority of the people, from dismantling the very illegal thing that keeps the GOP in power. It is one of the most cynical threats to democracy around, but it shouldn’t surprise anyone who understands the corruption and insanity of the Wisconsin GOP.

Sharing gift access to this article about #Wisconsin Supreme Court because it conveys so well the state of the cold civil war the U.S. is undergoing.As with the last Civil War, our disagreements are not purely political.

@amaditalks Likewise, we aren't talking enough about the same idea, but one step up the chain:
You don't need to remove elected officials that you don't like if you can choose who does get elected.
That is, if you gerrymander the districts to ensure that Democrats don't get elected in the first place, then you don't have to bother trying to remove them. How convenient!
(I live in #Wisconsin, a exemplar of crazy gerrymandering.)
