Opinion: Devin LeMahieu, State Senator and hypocrite extraordinaire
After the Supreme Court of the United States legislated from the bench this past session, republicans celebrated.
But when Wisconsin's Act 10 was passed in 2011 it was very much unconstitutional from the get-go. A stacked, gerrymandered republican legislature and a republican WI Supreme Court, led by a judge who choked one of his fellow judges, ensured that our idiot governor at the time, Scott Walker, got his way around our state laws.
Now that a smart judge has ruled that indeed Act 10 violates WI State Law, it's suddenly NOT OK for judges to legislate from the bench. Here's a quote from Devin LeMaheieu, a sad little king of his sad little village of Oostburg WI:
“Once again, the only way the Democrats can get their way is through activist judges dropping decisions on a holiday weekend when no one is watching. Unfortunately, if this decision stands, it will cost Wisconsin's hard-working families millions of dollars.”
Fuck you and your hypocrisy Devin. Stand up and be for or against judicial legislation. You cannot praise the republican cult leader's interpretation of immunity from the SCOTUS as acceptable bench legislation, then turn around and get pissy when a judge points out serious factual errors within Act 10. You cannot have it both ways.
I call on you to speak up against trump, SCOTUS, and the immunity ruling from earlier this week, or come on and admit you were wrong about Act 10. Which will it be, sir? Is judicial legislation only OK for republicans? Come out and say that then. Say the quiet part out loud.
It's what your cult party does best.

CUSTER, Wis. -Summer's here, and that means a lot of Wisconsinites are getting their boats out on the water. But don't feel intimidated if you're pushing off from the dock and see a semi-truck making waves on the open water.
John Yach of Custer spent the winter building a pontoon out of a Peterbilt cab he calls the "Semi-Conscious".
"My wife came up with that one day we couldn't figure out a name thought about it for weeks had all kinds of ideas and sitting on the couch she came up with Semi-Conscious," Yach said.
Each year for the past few Yach has had a project: one year a 1966 C10 Chevy pickup, the next, a tri-toon you can drive from the bar.
But why build the semi-pontoon?
"To see if I could," he replied with a grin.
No engineering degree needed: Yach used to be a welding fabrication machine operator.
He spent 700 hours on the semi pontoon, made with real truck parts from across the country friends, family, Google and Facebook helped him find.
"Every piece has been modified, cut, re-welded, lightened up, gutted out all interiors," Yach said. "Everybody pitched in. (My) wife, she kind of left me alone, so I could get it done."
The chassis is 250 pounds of real aluminum Peterbilt, with a keg that Yach is looking to get working soon too. "The front I've got all hinged. So that can be used for storage, so the grill opens up."
The pontoon has a top speed of about 25 miles per hour.
"It pulls up out of the water, really nice, feels good, it steers and you actually feel like you're sitting in a semi," Yach said.
Inside, it's almost all Bentley pontoon from the steering wheel to the fuel gauges.
The Semi-Conscious blew up on Tik-Tok, and it even made one person blink twice when the horn broke through the calm scene where they were camping once.
"A guy pulled in and thought that the semi had backed right into the water because they had it up onshore at our site, and the site is lower than the road. So he could just see the top half of the semi sticking out of the water," Yach said.
Yach is not looking in the rearview mirror -- he's already thinking of his next creation. "An all-terrain machine that floats so I can go from my house, hit the water, go fishing on it."
Despite the passion project, the whole Yach family will be the first to offer you the semi-pontoon for a trip on their private lake.
Because that's the load this semi's always lugging -- smiles.
"Usually wherever we go they got to stop at the sandbar everybody wants to take pictures and look inside, and talk about basically how it was buiIt," Yach said. "I think it was worth it."

The small penis rule was referenced in a 2006 dispute between Michael Crowley and Michael Crichton. Crowley alleged that after he wrote an unflattering review of Crichton's novel State of Fear, Crichton included a character named "Mick Crowley" in the novel Next. The character is a child rapist, described as being a Washington, D.C.–based journalist and Yale graduate with a small penis.

You're good. Being a smaller engine though, I wouldn't go much past that.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WFRV) – Authorities in Eau Claire responded to what they called, “The most Wisconsin complaint ever,” around 9:46 p.m. on Monday.
According to a Facebook post by the Eau Claire Police Department, officers were sent to check on a report from a driver that somebody was chasing them down and throwing cheese at their car.
“Not gouda,” the post said. “It’s un-brie-lievable that someone would do that.” The viral post on Facebook has over 200 comments filled with cheese puns and more than 1,000 shares.
Police did not mention if any citations were handed out or if there was an arrest made.
No additional information was provided. Local 5 will update the story if more details are released.
Pretty valid complaint seeing how the ARRL is sitting on millions of dollars in dues, yet has no idea how to run or secure a web site or application. Goddamn right the ARRL should feel nothing but shame.
Between this incident and the ARRL shutting their entire site down for a week to perform an upgrade (dev environment, anyone?), I have very little faith in the owners nephew or whoever is running the web services.
If you can't run a website, take the millions of dollars in dues you get every year and hire a cloud computing company to run things. The status quo is untenable.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission says supporters of former President Donald Trump submitted 16 more valid signatures than needed to force a recall election of Wisconsin’s top elected Republican depending on what district the recall should be held in.
Authorities found the body of Liara Tsai, 35, in the backseat of the car on Saturday in Olmsted County, and it was “immediately apparent” her death was not a result of the accident.
