MacIver News Minute: Buckle Up, Wisconsin

Buckle up, Wisconsin. The election results in last Tuesday's Supreme Court election means one thing: reforms will be on the chopping block. Act 10 reforms that have saved taxpayers more than $35 billion over the last 15 years is in danger of repeal.  A new redistricting lawsuit may find its way to the Supreme Court, upending congressional district boundaries. School choice, now in its fourth decade of providing families options for their children's education, will be in jeopardy. If the Supreme Court acts as a super legislature that overrides the will of the people, it is an attack on representative government. Voter Turnout was way down this spring. That can't happen again – for any reason. The lesson is this: you get what you vote for -- or, more precisely, you get what you get  - when you don't vote. Every action by the emboldened liberal Supreme Court should serve as an important reminder: Democracy is on the ballot every time there's an election. We should vote like it is.
