Destiny of democracy to decide by Wisconsin supreme court elections

Wisconsin Elections of Supreme Court | Image Credit: courthousenews.com Voters showed a strong commitment to upholding democracy in 2023 by participating in elections all the way down the ballot.

The significance of state courts in defending our basic liberties and democratic processes in 2024 is demonstrated by the election of Janet Protasiewicz to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in April and Dan McCaffery to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in November. The anti-democratic movements' centers of gravity for contestin...

Election Procedures for the Wisconsin Supreme Court Election maps by state unconstitutional

Wisconsin Supreme Court Election maps | Image Credit: theguardian.com The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled in a 4-3 ruling on Friday afternoon, December 22, that the state's present voting maps are unconstitutional and need to be redrew in time for the 2024 election. State legislative districts in Wisconsin are required by the Wisconsin Constitution to be composed of "contiguous territory." However, "the number of state legislative districts containing territory completely disconnected from the rest of the district is striking," according to the majority decision. Justice Jill Karofsky wrote the majority ruling, which finds that "at least fifty of ninety-nine assembly districts and at least twenty of thirty-three senate districts include separate, detached territory." The ruling,...

Fontainebleau Las Vegas Worth it the Wait | Image Credit: travelandleisure.com The 67-story, 3,644-room Fontainebleau Las Vegas opened its doors in December, marking the end of an extraordinarily lengthy and convoluted financial journey that started in February 2007 and ended two years later when the Great Recession forced the project's completion to a standstill.

However, over the course of the following 16 years, there were numerous ownership changes and development cycles. Fortunately, the patience paid off. The property is breathtakingly beautiful, wit...
