The Wisconsin budget process has been no walk in the park (A park the GOP would defund in this budget) and it seems as if the Wisconsin GOP and Governor Evers are at a standoff. Then, Civic Media's very own Jim Santelle joins the show to cover the latest news coming out of the law world. It looks like The Felon President is mad at The Federalist Society because...they're too liberal? And we revisit the Wisconsin GOP who looks to pass a law which harkens back to an election that was neither stolen or unsafe.
