On Tuesday, the Supreme Court of Wisconsin denied a last-minute request by Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos to block a move forcing him to sit for a deposition in an open-records dispute relating to a controversial GOP-backed review of the 2020 presidential election.

The decision by the court, which has a majority of Republican appointed or endorsed justices, upholds the ruling of Dane County Circuit Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn, and means Vos will be deposed tomorrow.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the dispute, pushed by the watchdog group American Oversight, centers on whether Vos' decision to hold back some documents about the review constitutes contempt of court.

AS I was reading this article, I kept thinking of what Racheal Maddow said tonight about "Forged Document's" being sent to the National Archives on the election certifications in five states and how they were forged documents..........

1. This guy Vos is an extraordinary prick.

He's part of the tired old teabaggers hanging on from the 2010 Koch bros movement, and one of Scott Walkers' primary henchmen. Without the gerrymander, he would be long gone.

I hope he screws himself in his deposition. It's a possibility because he's not very bright, just like Walker.
