Wisconsin Republicans hell-bent on ramming through extremist right-wing legislation by June 30
The Fitzgerald Brothers have admitted it. Now other Republicans are admitting it. They see the Recall elections in July as a opportunity for them to ram through off-the-wall, right-wing extremist legislation before the tables are turned and there isn’t a Republican Rubber Stamp majority to appease the Koch Brothers and Scott Walker.
Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker and GOP leaders have launched a push to ram several years’ worth of conservative agenda items through the Legislature this spring before recall elections threaten to end the party’s control of state government.
Republicans, in a rapid sequence of votes over the next eight weeks, plan to legalize concealed weapons, deregulate the telephone industry, require voters to show photo identification at the polls, expand school vouchers and undo an early release for prisoners.
Lawmakers may also act again on Walker’s controversial plan stripping public employee unions of their collective bargaining rights. An earlier version, which led to massive protest demonstrations at the Capitol, has been left in limbo by legal challenges.
If the Legislature votes again on Walker’s plan stripping public workers of their union negotiating rights, it can sidestep the legal challenges to the first vote, which came after 14 Senate Democrats fled to Illinois to deprive the Senate of a quorum. Unions and Democrats claim the original vote violated the open meetings law and the state constitution’s quorum requirement. The case is pending before the state Supreme Court.
Because some people decided a recall was not the best way to get rid of him, that means the majority approve of what he's doing...
Kind of like how the "big win of 2010" turned in to 17 teabaggers getting thrown out of the House in 2012, and 3 teabaggers getting thrown out of the Senate in 2012... How'd that turn out for ya?... You think Walker, Kasich, Snyder, and Scott, (and maybe Haley) are going to win the next time around?....
lol 2014 is just around the corner.
[url=http://www.electoral-vote.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;]www.electoral-vote.com[/url], a lefty website is quite gloomy about the Democrats' chances then, predicting 5 possible Dem Senate seats in dark red states turning Republican, and very few GOP Senate seats being vulnerable.
And the opposistion party usually picks up seats in the house in mid-term elections, especially because old white guys tend to vote in every election compared to minorities and the young who sit out mid-terms.

Back on Topic:
Retired NY law enforcement are a little upset that they aren't allowed to own magazines over 7 rounds either, and have to turn in their assault weapons too.
Cuomo is playing no favorites here.

They even admit criminals will not follow the law.
State Senator Eric Adams, a former NYPD Captain, told us he's going to push for an amendment next week to exempt police officers from the high-capacity magazine ban. In his words, "You can't give more ammo to the criminals"
Do they even make a 7 round mag? I'll bet a guy could start a business making higher cap mags limited to 7 rounds (some sort of drill and fill procedure with epoxy)... that would be the "green" thing to do.
