Feduptaxpayer...time to crawl back into your hole.

The unions plan on spending 400 Million to re elect Obama. They have two high level Obama fundraisers assisting in the Walker recall. SEIU is the biggest donor to Priorities USA Action, the major super PAC backing Obama.
You are upset because republicans need to fund raise to defend themselves?

Obama fundraising picks up steam as 2012 campaign looms
"Yet this week, the president is attending at least five fundraisers, including two Monday night in Washington and three events, including a public concert, in Chicago on Wednesday. First lady Michelle Obama, meanwhile, is appearing at four events in the swing state of Virginia this week, including two Democratic National Committee events."

And on Wed. Feb 29th, the Fitz brothers and other GOP will be in DC doing fundraising. 1k to 5k to be there. I wonder if they'll collect per diem. Anyways, I did more looking around. Fighting the redistricting is a moot point. The GOP wins. If the judges panel 2 out of 3 are republican appointed say the map is wrong, it's an automatic appeal to the US Supreme court. And there's at least one justice in the Koch's pocket. SCOTUS is conservative by 1 vote.

And the Republicans got fined 17.5k for frivolous motions.

The GOP spent 400k to the lawyers involved with redrawing the map. Walker just gave 925k to lawyers to fight the judges decision. Wisconsin, open for business for lawyers,

NOTE TO REPUBLICANS: Since you seem willing to abdicate your responsibilities then by all means step aside and allow the Democrats to fill the void. I'm sure Democrats would be more than willing to re-draw election maps.

"Lawmakers already said Tuesday they didn't think they could revisit the issue because state law only allows the maps to be drawn once every 10 years, after new U.S. Census numbers come out."

Has anyone seen any other articles that would clarify who these "lawmakers" are that didn't think they could revisit the issue? The court has obviously clarified their thinking on that issue, so it seems more of an issue of desire, or the lack thereof, doesn't it?

janesvillean - great analysis and explanation!

saxcat70, there are significant differences this time. In past redistricting disputes, both sides presented plans and were unable to pass one that both agreed on. In this situation, the GOP used dirty tactics to prevent the Democrats from using state resources to propose a plan, and bogus claims of attorney-client privilege to hide the process from the Democrats and the public, even while sharing the maps with lobbyists such as the convicted felon Scott Jensen. Note that even though the law firm contract specified the Wisconsin State Senate as the client, Democratic members of the Senate have been denied access to any of the paperwork. We're not just talking garden-variety redistricting dispute here -- we're talking deliberate subversion of the democratic process. Brushing this off as an "every time" thing is disingenuous. It's really pretty much unheard of.

I posted a link on this topic recently folks. This happens EVERY time. So while you may think it is fashionable to blast one side or the other, you're just blowin hot air.

They were to busy signing non-disclosure agreements to bother with the law.

I think republicans like to make their own laws as they go.

The Republican lawmakers don't know the redistricting laws? Maybe their attorneys forgot to tell them.
