But is it really democracy in action if a small-r Republicans holds the governor hostage?
- HideousKojima 6y agoYes, obstructionism is just as much a part of democracy as passing legislation, there's no part of democracy that says legislatures have to pass anything presented to them
- vorpalhex 6y agoAre they really holding him hostage by taking him to task for an illegal order?
- cryptonector 6y agoWhat are you talking about. The constitutional system we have is that legislatures are Sovereigns and Executives are Heads of State. I don't care if the Wisconsin legislature is led by one party or another -- it has powers and prerogatives that it has to be jealous of. The governor is not being held hostage, rather, the legislature has to be consulted and may not be ignored.
