In this week’s lightning round, the WisOpinion Insiders Kanavas and Chvala debate Trump, the Dem Party, the state budget and more. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
Madison defense attorney Dean Strang discusses his book, “Worse Than the Devil: Anarchists, Clarence Darrow, and Justice in a Time of Terror.”
The congressional investigations will continue. And, Special Counsel Robert Mueller will try to get to the bottom. But House Speaker Paul Ryan still has his head in the sand.
The former FBI director believes that President Donald Trump tried to interfere with the FBI’s investigation into Russian ties to the Trump campaign. And from what I saw of his testimony, Comey came across as a down-to-earth man of integrity and professionalism.
Paul Soglin would bring some major wattage to a party that has faded into the wallpaper.
Say what you want about Madison “mayor for life” and potential Walker challenger Paul Soglin — he ain’t Mary Burke.
Time for Walker to make tough choices
It is ironic that these proposals are being promoted in Wisconsin by the party that is in the majority in both Congress and the state Legislature. Why should the U.S. Constitution be at risk for complete revision just so these politicians can accomplish what they already have the power to do legislatively?
The lawsuit recently filed by the attorney general of Ohio against five manufacturers of prescription opioids raises new questions about our own state Attorney General Brad Schimel.
Fundamental to the celebration of our diversity is recognition that every person has rights, rights that are protected by law and by basic human decency.
