Irate constituents are just the worst, aren't they? GOP lawmakers in the WI Assembly are grown weary of all this recall mischief, and they refuse to be victimized by voters any longer. Why do Wisconsinites fail to understand how governing is very difficult work, like for example how you can develop carpal tunnel syndrome copy-pasting the seventy hundred ALEC memos that David Koch poops out to his spam list each day into the draft legislation template to send over to the Capitol? IT IS TOUGH. But since you jerks refuse to chill out, the WI Assembly has passed a bill proposing a constitutional amendment banning recall elections unless an elected official has been "charged with a serious crime or if there is a finding of probable cause that they violated the state code of ethics." Why didn't anyone think of this before? The bill will probably never pass...citizens would have to vote on it. |
