The PA GOP is trying to also impeach the democrat members of the PA Supreme Court. They are definitely a threat to democracy.

Not a surprise. The only way for the GOP to have long term survival is make the system undemocratic or make Latinos become considered fully white (just as Eastern and Southern Europeans were considered fully white around WWII).

Literally DailyKOS.

The stuff being reported on here is happening in the open. Here's the newspaper in Madison
http://host.madison.com/ct/news/local/govt-and-politics/election-matters/scott-fitzgerald-considering-legislation-to -block-dane-county-judge-s/article_5fdc196d-13fd-5aaf-9168-60da71ac8832.html

The day after a Dane County judge ordered Gov. Scott Walker to hold special elections for two vacant legislative seats, Walker said he supports an effort from legislative Republicans to block them.

Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, told reporters on Friday that Dane County Circuit Judge Josann Reynolds' ruling would result in "chaos" in the two districts as they would hold several sets of elections in a condensed time period.

"The logistics of this is very messy. I dont think Judge Reynolds considered that at all, how this would actually transpire in the real world," Fitzgerald said.

Seats in the state's 1st Senate District and 42nd Assembly District were vacated in late December when Walker appointed Sen. Frank Lasee, R-De Pere, and Rep. Keith Ripp, R-Lodi, to administrative positions.

Walker argued it makes sense to leave the seats open until the regularly scheduled Nov. 6 elections, but Democrats argued it's not fair to leave residents of those districts without representation.

Reynolds ruled on Thursday that Walker must call the elections by March 29. The elections could be held as late as May, and the seats would be back on the ballot in November.

There are two links in the tweet originally posted: one to a DailyKOS article about the judge's ruling, and the other to a reporter's tweet about the GOP working on legislation to overturn the ruling. I linked to what I did mainly because it was the first, most convenient thing I saw, but also because I felt the tweet put things into concise context. I had not seen that the reporter Jesse Opoien had written up a full story on the matter.

lol @ America being a democracy

First, it has always been a republic, there's a difference. Second, it transitioned to an oligarchy during the 20th century.

People just assume "we have lots of rights, so it's a free country" but that's not necessarily true. Emperor Napoleon was hardly democratic, but his code changed the face of Europe and greatly liberalized it by enshrining certain rights that were widely adopted. Being afforded certain privileges and protections is just a great way to prevent an uprising when your country is wealthy.

This would be a distinction worth making if anyone ever actually meant "direct democracy" when they said "democracy." They basically never do.

Direct link is too long and not worth the time to shorten but...

http://host.madison.com/ct/
Madison news has a link to same story.

Milwaukee also has the same.
https://www.jsonline.com/news/

Stop arguing about the source. It is happening. The GOP is actively choosing to try to stifle the democratic process instead of deal with the consequences of having shitty candidates that run on policies people do not support.

No but they've managed to poison the way we interact and get some people to question everything, even to their own detriment.
The cult behavior, fake news whinging is a result of the ruskies taking advantage of anti-Obama and anti-SJW backlash, Russia was able to sow strife because we are all culpable of fertilizing the soil.

We better keep taxes high. We absolutely need to ensure that the beast has trillions in tax revenue coming in each and every year. Absolutely no harm can come from government having too much money and power. In fact we should raise taxes another 30% to pay for social programs, never mind the fact that there's already hundreds of billions in wasteful spending and just the potential for even more invasion of privacy and rights.

We need the government to watch out for us and to protect us.

I get that you just post this spiel in every topic, but what link do you genuinely see between your lower taxes thing and Republican efforts to prevent state house seats being filled?

Like at what point of lowered taxes do special elections get held to fill open legislative seats?
