Here in Wisconsin: Now With Even Less Democracy

A law is not a law in this state until published in the paper of record. A judge enjoined the Secretary of State from publishing Walker's "Budget Repair Bill," aka Neoliberalism's war on people part eleventybillion; Walker and his minions think they found loophole and had the bill published by someone else and have now declared the bill a law despite the fact that a co-equal branch of government in the form of a judge and the official charged with publishing the bill to make it a law say otherwise.

What's the end game here? Do these louts think that by the next election everyone will have forgotten or be so dispirited that they won't vote?  Or like Ohio, do they plan on launching state sponsored voter suppression?

It's worth remembering that Walker compared his war on unions and people to Reagan's war on the old USSR. What does that me his desired outcome is, exactly? The 19th century, it would seem.
