The conservative bastards on SCOTUS overturned a rule by their governor to delay elections and now are forcing elections to take place TOMORROW. So how many people will die from the close exposure this will entail?

SCOTUS decision is CLEARLY political, their thinking being smaller voter turnout helps republicans.

GREAT THINKING ASSSWIPES.

On another front, republican Governor Hogan of Maryland is one of the few people who stepped up early, Feb 7 or thereabouts to close schools and tell people about social distancing and the deaths there are 1/4th of Louisiana for instance. He is one smart dude, married to a Korean woman, speaks Korean and talked directly to the authorities in Korea in Korean to get ventilators and PPE direct to Maryland from Korea. Kudo's to Governor Hogan.

That is indeed shocking but it is the State Supreme Court not SCOTUS.

and Biden agreed.

Though, if we look strictly at the facts he is also a conservative so technically your post is true.

Sorry, rushed it. Supreme Court of the STATE of Wisconsin. Still clear politics.

Hmm. Perhaps stacking the courts with politicians instead of judges wasn't the best call?

There is no "stacking" of the wisconsin state supreme court.
"The court is composed of seven justices who are elected in statewide, non-partisan elections. Each justice is elected for a ten-year term. Importantly, only one justice may be elected in any year. This avoids the sudden shifts in jurisprudence commonly seen in other state supreme courts, where the court composition can be radically shifted if two or three justices are simultaneously targeted for an electoral challenge based on their views on controversial issues. In the event of a vacancy on the court, the governor has the power to appoint an individual to the vacancy, but that justice must then stand for election in the first year in which no other justice's term expires."

Truth to that. Communism in China and USSR died.

For the life of me, I can't understand how it holds together in Cuba and NKorea. Been a long time. 60 years+

Cuba has changed.

N.Korea is a wonder.
China doesn't want it but sees it as a buffer state, so ... ?

I would have delayed the primary but if they did there would be people here discussing how outrageous it is to delay an election.

Sounds to me like it's fully stacked with politicians instead of judges.
