Gov. Evers' Post-Constitutional Wisconsin

When Gov. Evers wants something, he doesn’t let anything stand in his way, and the thing usually standing in his way is the state constitution.

During covid, he led us through one constitutional crisis after another while trying to seize autocratic control over the state. Fortunately, Evers lost those fights in court, but ever since liberals won a majority on the state supreme court, he’s had the legislature on the ropes.

First, he stripped away its constitutional authority to draw voting maps. Then, he eroded its power of the purse. Now, he’s trying to stop its oversight of regulations and rulemaking.

Evers’ next big move is cutting lawmakers out of the lawmaking process. He wants the “people” to be able to write laws and pass them through statewide referendums – hoping to mobilize the mob to push through his radical agenda piece by piece.

So, you might say Wisconsin is on the verge of entering a post-constitutional era, and it seems like Gov. Evers can’t wait to get us there.
