As typical in Wisconsin the laws are past without a democratic process. That is the case here. It will have to be litigated and the law will be defeated, but, they do it anyway. The Kochs are demanding this, the RNC is demanding this mess.
When Representative Weiner demanded respect on the US House Floor it was within a debate. That is not what this is. This is a tandrum. That is all this is. It is a tantrum to 'take away' the democratic process needed to pass any law.
This bozo is acting to please the Kochs after a telephone call to the Governor. We have witnessed the pandering the Governor pulls when he thinks he is talking to the only people in the entire world that believes he is worthy of substantial campaign funding.
When Republican Weiner spoke out with volume it was to enforce his rights to be heard. Huge difference. But, the law will fail in court because it violates democratic process.
The Democrats have real talking points about many issues. Invasion of privacy in restrictive and invasive abortion procedures is one. It is a good talking point for a national dialogue actually. I mean invasion of privacy stated long before the Virginia Governor Ultrasound.
But, the Wisconsin Democrats have incredibly wonderful talking points based in 'Democracy Lost.'
The "What's his name governor?"...????????...Oh, yeah, Walker and his majority Republican legislature violate democratic processes unendingly. They think they are getting away with it until the courts start to rule against them.
But, the Democrats need to be correct. They don't want the hubris demonstrated on their state Senate floor today. The Wisconsin Democrats talking points about "Democracy Lost" is vital and not just a political position. It is necessary to end the idea it is okay to overthrow the USA Constitution.
When some of the judges begin to rule against this disaster of a Wisconsin governorship and legislature just think of all the money spent on absolutely nothing but hubris. Taxpayer money spent on nothing.
Why is it important for a government to actually governor? That is what they are paid for. They are paid to conduct the state or federal business of the country. They aren't paid to play politics by obstructing votes with 60 Senate margins. McConnell is a huge offender of money wasted to defeat the resolve of the country. McConnell is conducting politics, not governance. Lots of money. Not just little bit of money. Besides the salaries, remember when problems go unresolved, my example; greenhouse gas emissions, then more money is spent when the problems are not resolved. In the case of the climate, that price is paid for in lives and property as well as dollars.
So, there are many talking points about the tantrum today. Now, isn't there?

Republican state senators in Wisconsin (click here) on Wednesday silenced Democratic lawmakers while passing a bill requiring women to undergo an ultrasound procedure before being able to receive an abortion.
Wednesday’s Senate session began with state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout (D) reading letters from several constituents who opposed the bill.
“The idea of — quote — small government is in direct conflict with big government Republicans sticking their nose my vagina,” one voter named Suzanne wrote. “How can we get the conservatives — mostly men — to quit blaming women, many times girls, solely for unwanted pregnancies?”...
