Evers signed a bill put forward by GOP lawmakers last week implementing new legislative maps the Democratic governor drew himself that dramatically weaken the advantages Republicans have enjoyed each election cycle since 2011.

"It is a new day in Wisconsin, and today is a beautiful day for democracy," Evers said at a press conference in the state Capitol. "Of the 1,869 days I’ve been proud to serve as your governor, few have been as consequential as this one."

Hmm? Passed by Republicans.

Democrats?

... the vast majority of Democratic lawmakers voted against the plan, arguing the state Supeme [sic] Court should pick new boundaries instead.​

Yup, scared the court would draw them.

Yup, scared the court would draw them.

Why should a court draw them? That's the job of the legislature.

Why should a court draw them? That's the job of the legislature.

If the legislature and governor don’t agree, the court was going to step in and fix our unconstitutional maps.

Courts should have no such power.

Courts should have no such power.

The courts are equal branch of government.

Sounds like another RepubliCratic Duopoly Party(RCDP) politickn gimmick.

If it is doing its job. If not, of course the Courts step in. The threat made the legislature do its job. Well, that's WI going to Dem in the fall.

The courts are equal branch of government.

The court, like the governor or President, has no constitutional authority to make or rescind laws. They overstep its constitutional authority when they do so. Authority to make law for the whole state is given only to the state legislature and for the whole country to Congress. The governor and/or President can veto what those bodies do and those bodies, with a sufficient majority, can override the veto.

Another win for the good guys.

When the legislature doesn’t follow legal orders to the judges’ satisfaction, the court steps in.

Courts should have no such power.

What does article 2, section 1, paragraph 2 of the constitution say. 2,1,2, gives all the power to the legislature, not the governor which is the executive nor the courts who are judicial.

Equal branches of government do not over rule and dictate to the legislative branch.

 

[the watcher]

Ah yes, the illusion of wins and losses by the followers of the two "parties". After all the playfighting and obligatory dissecting by the compliant media guess what? At the end of the day, every day, we will be another trillion in debt, watching our savings be absorbed by inflation, watching helplessly as foreign invaders overrun our remaining resources, be artfully introduced to our next few years of conflict here and abroad, live with the hate fueled social lawlessness and reckoning, see the entire educational system collapse from it's own weight, and cower in fear of our latest announced threat. But boy, they lost more than we did, I guess that makes us The Winner.

Equal branches of government do not over rule and dictate to the legislative branch.

Yes, they do. It’s what ‘checks and balances’ means.

 

[elektra]

where is the balance when we let the Judicial over rule, and dictate to the Legislative and Executive?

The executive selects the judges and the legislature cam impeach the judges.

They do and have since our founding.

It's "Gerrymandering" if republicans do it but it's "new election maps if it's done by dems.

So, how long have you had feelings of victimhood?
