@moira @w7voa Sure would love to have democracy here in Utah. 30% Dem, 15% Independent; 100% Republican in Congress, 85% Republican legislature; 100% Republican in statewide office (Gov, Lt. Gov, AG, etc. Governor is a limp-dick idiot/tool of MAGAs, AG should be under indictment, and Tomney knew he was going to get the bum’’s rush.

@w7voa “This deal was sealed on election night,” wrote Chief Justice Annette Ziegler in a dissenting opinion, referring to Protasiewicz's election in April, which flipped the court's ideological majority to liberal. She accused the court’s liberal majority of imposing “their will on the entire Assembly and half the Senate.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAH....GASP....HAHAHAHAHAAHHA!!!

@w7voa

The Bradley Foundation and the Uihleins spent all that money on thwarting democracy too.

They'll be so disappointed that their fascist hijacking was spoiled

Secretive Foundation’s Blueprint for Spreading Right-Wing Ideology

Much like the Koch network, the Bradley Foundation has launched a national strategy to help conservatives control the branches of state governments.

@kyonshi @w7voa this is why the court said they will do it if the legislature can’t pass maps Evers signs. Some of the opinion seems to be written assuming the legislature will continue to act in bad faith.
