I really hate the term "activist judge".
I really hate the term "activist judge".
It beats "uppity."
I just wanted to interject the hilarity of a WI-based worldview. From a mailing I got today:
Scott Walker announced on Friday that he has set up a criminal defense fund to pay for his high-priced Chicago defense attorneys who are trying to shield him from a historic corruption scandal that has led to the arrests of six of his top aides and associates.
Emphasis mine.
I love that in the WI-based worldview paying a lot for legal representation, and getting lawyers from Chicago, are damnable offenses.
I don't like the guy either, but I think it's funny how both sides use 'loaded' language in everything they do.

That's only for minority judges.
And quite rapidly the balance of power shifts:

Wisconsin state Sen. Pam Galloway (R) is resigning from the chamber today, citing a family health situation. Galloway was one of the targeted incumbents in upcoming recall elections.This also means that as of now, the Republicans have officially lost their Senate majority, leaving the chamber split 16-16. The recall elections to come will determine who takes the majority.

Well now, that is interesting.
Dale Schultz (remember him?) is probably still the most powerful person in the State Senate.
I remember him! He played Murdoch in the A-Team.
I will be damned -- I just spotted that Mr. Schulz did the voice for Bodahn Feddic in the Dragon Age games.
I would never have connected those two characters without that wisecrack.

It's sort of hilariously true. Anyone from Chicago finding themselves in court in Indiana or Wisconsin fights an uphill battle.

Well ... to be fair if you're from Chicago and you're in a WI court, everybody just sees you as a FIB.
It's not our fault we're better than you.

Erik, I hate to disagree with someone with your vocabulatory faculties, but ...
Cheese. Beer. Soup.
Bam.

You can get that in Illinois. With more deliciousness, and without having to subject yourself to the Wisconsin peasantry.
Plus, it'd be made with better beer over here
This is clearly a troll thread. With trolls.
I actually just had a delicious beer cheese at Girl & The Goat yesterday.
Girl & The Goat is a restaurant. They're like supper clubs, but with fewer old people and less stained glass.

I've just discovered a new name for Rockford.
