The WI Supreme Court consists of 7 justices who are elected to a 10 year term in a “nonpartisan” (though definitely partisan) election. They are the highest appellate court in state law and deal with issues related to the state constitution. Their decisions can be appealed to a federal court if it is in conflict with the federal Constitution, but otherwise, it would be the last court of appeal.

Of particular note are cases dealing with electoral law and districting. Wisconsin has been considered the most gerrymandered state in the union since about 2010, and it’s led to situations where Republicans secured a supermajority in the assembly despite receiving a minority of the votes. The right-leaning Supreme Court dismissed challenges to these maps and allowed Republicans to enact laws that entrenched their power in the state (such as unfair electoral maps, restrictive voter ID laws, and removing powers from the governor after a Democrat was elected). Swinging the Court to the left is seen as the best hope of restoring fairness to our elections.

I think it’s a reference to that schizophrenic guy who thought God told him to build an operating system as the third temple. He posted a lot of crazy videos online, including some where he claimed that the CIA was following him but that they glow in the dark. A couple of years later, people on 4chan started to refer to CIA agents as “glowies” in reference to those videos.

Aren’t you contradicting yourself here? Your first line proclaims the existence of US censorship, but then your next line says that the US is bad because of unregulated free speech. How can there be both censorship and unregulated free speech?
