Reopened For Only Two Weeks and Wisconsin Conservatives’ Court Victory Is Becoming a Death Sentence for Many
Wisconsin’s right-wingers were tickled pink when the conservative laden state supreme court ruled 4-3 to revoke the Democratic governor’s stay-at-home orders. However, those same right-wingers felt betrayed by conservative Justice Brian Hagedorn, believing his vote should have made the decision 5-2.
Wisconsin Supreme Court justices are elected to a ten-year term, and during his campaign Hagedorn warned voters he would not be guided by partisanship, but by the law as written, without fear or favor, in every case.
Hagedorn’s record as state supreme court justice is unique for a conservative, in that he has, so far, refused to knuckle under to party leaders’ demands, and instead, kept his campaign promise to base all decisions in the law as written, refusing to legislate from the bench.
But, the Republicans’ court victory comes at the cost expected by progressives. Two weeks to the day after the Wisconsin Supreme Court overturned the state’s “Safer at Home” order, a one-day record was set for new coronavirus cases, as 642 positive cases were identified in the past twenty four hours, bringing the total to 16,565 -- and increasing the number of currently active cases by more than ten percent.
Additionally, the day was the deadliest so far, as twenty two people succumbed to COVID-19 since this time Tuesday, bringing the total death toll to 539.
The percentage of coronavirus tests coming back positive also rose from 3.6% to 5.8% in the past twenty four hours.
The largest local increase in new cases today was in Milwaukee County, with 271 new cases and 21% of tests coming back positive.
Yes, Wisconsin conservatives’ court victory is becoming a death sentence for many, but those who die are not what is important. What is important, is progressives lost, proving conservatives have the constitutional right to spread this deadly disease to anyone they choose, anywhere.
