Wisconsin AG: Laws? What laws?

Meet Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen. Van Hollen is a protege of far-right former Gov. Tommy Thompson.

In the 2008 election, Van Hollen wanted to call the police on people for trying to vote. He demanded that cops and prosecutors be posted in polling places in Democratic areas (but not in Republican areas).

This plan to intimidate voters was blatantly illegal.

Recently, Van Hollen thumbed his nose at the law again.

As an exercise in social engineering and cheap elitism, Van Hollen refused to defend Wisconsin's domestic partnership law. Thus, he was failing to carry out the duties of his office.

The domestic partnership law is constitutionally valid. But right-wing groups have demanded that the law be ruled unconstitutional, simply because they oppose it. The law's opponents are represented by the Alliance Defense Fund, an extremist legal foundation that gets rich suing universities over antidiscrimination policies.

We've all seen that social engineering by the Right is a stepstool to economic engineering. Ideologues like J.B. Van Hollen highlight this fact.
