The people of Wisconsin voted for an activist leftist court that would undermine representative government and advance dictatorial rule. And here we are. One might remind Leftists that there may one day be a Republican governor who will use this power against their agenda, but they don’t care. This is where Leftists are better than Conservatives about wielding power. They wield it with no apologies and no consideration for anything other than the immediate gain.

In case you missed it, the liberal justices on the Wisconsin Supreme Court just allowed Tony Evers to raise taxes for the next 400 years.

That’s not a typo.

The court ruled 4-3 on April 18, 2025, that the Democratic governor had the authority to use a partial veto in 2023 to lock in school spending increases through 2425 by deleting a hyphen and a couple of numbers.

In his dissent, Hagedorn accused the liberal justices of turning the executive branch into a super legislature.

“How does a bill become a law? According to the majority, one option looks like this: The legislature passes a bill in both houses and sends it to the governor. The governor then takes the collection of letters, numbers, and punctuation marks he receives from the legislature, crosses out whatever he pleases, and — presto! — out comes a new law never considered or passed by the legislature at all,” Hagedorn wrote. “And there you have it — a governor who can propose and enact law all on his own.”
