Scott Walker and Wisconsin Republicans thumb noses at law.

[PdxSean]

Just when I think I can't hate republicans more.

A day after a judge said Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) was violating state law by refusing to call special elections for two vacant seats in the state legislature, the Republican leader of the state Senate said he would explore changing the law so that Walker did not have to call the elections.

1. so he says the seats don't need to be filled because they're basically not in session,

so he's going to call a special session to change the law so the seats that don't need filling because they're not in session can stay not filled because they're not in session except they are in session to make sure those seats aren't filled.

ok.

yeah.

got it.

2. It's what they do.

If the rules don't encourage a favorable outcome for their side, they change the rules.

It's the only way they stay in power.

And I agree, it's disgusting and infuriating.
