The Republican Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday said that COVID-19 is only spreading through people in meat-packing plants and not “the regular folks” who work elsewhere.

During a hearing about Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’s stay-at-home orders, Chief Justice Patience D. Roggensack downplayed concerns about the virus sweeping across the state by claiming it was limited to certain areas.

“Due to the meat-packing, though, that’s where Brown County got the [COVID-19] flare,” she said. “It wasn’t just the regular folks in Brown County.”

Yeah it is apparently "those brown people" at the meat packing plant. You cannot make up this shit.

1. Wisconsin is the only state that licenses lawyers w/o requiring a bar exam.

Wisconsin is the only state in the nation that does not require in-state graduates to pass a bar exam. That explains it

[BComplex]

2. It shows. eom

5. Not quite true. If you attend law school at UW Madison, and pass all of the required courses,

the National Bar Association does not require an additional Bar exam. It's based on entrance requirements and the curriculum for that campus only.

7. True.

Entrance Requirements were some of the toughest in the Big 10.

12. Wisconsin licenses ANY graduate from ANY Wisconsin law school w/o bar exam...

...not just UW Madison.

[Greybnk48]

13. Which ones? Madison is the only one in the UW System where I taught for 17 years.

I don't know of any of our other UW campuses that offer law degrees.

Marquette, a private Catholic University, now boasts the same standards as Madison and their graduates are also admitted to the Bar upon graduation. That was not the case when I went to grad school at Madison. Madison was the only campus that met the criteria.

14. Marquette University Law School

Located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

I did not opine on the quality of legal education from Wisconsin law schools. I simply stated that the State of Wisconsin will license any graduate from any Wisconsin law school w/o requiring a bar examination. That has been a fact for years.

15. Private Catholic school in Milwaukee, not part of the UW System. n/t

16. And? I never claimed otherwise.

3. That's not a dog whistle - more like a train whistle.

4. RE: Judges are racist assholes too.

6. What does continence have to do with anything?

8. History rhymes

In the 80s AIDS was something only gay people got, at least according to many so why worry.

Now covid 19 is something only brown people get? It makes sense that there were confederate and nazi flags in the reopen astro turfed protests.

9. The irony of this being about Brown County is apparently lost on the GOPer judge.

Apparently "regular people" in Brown County are not brown. or something.

10. I guess "real stupid" is not just in the "White House"..in Wisconsin Supreme Court too.

The Republican Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday said that COVID-19 is only spreading through people in meat-packing plants and not “the regular folks” who work elsewhere.

[Andy823]

17. Yep, I think it's

the "stupid" virus that has taken over the Republican Party. It seems to turn their brains into mush, and cause them to say the dumbest things you ever heard. The current belief is it has been around for years spreading but once trump took office, it kicked into high gear affecting some 99%, or more, of republicans.

The only hope for a cure is VOTING trump out of office, and that still might not work!

11. How is this still tolerated

This judge should be forced out, tomorrow.

[Hortensis]

18. This. Removing judges used to be rare because for a long time

relatively few were this bad. Not any longer. Many of the very unfit, corrupt and extremist political agents the RW have been packing our courts with for years now are misusing their power dreadfully.

For many there's no lack of cause. To make it happen, of course, liberal officials need to be given enough power for long enough.

She needs to catch it and just fucking die from it.

23. It's a "she". Stupid has no gender. Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, Joni Ernest et al.

25. Sorry about that. I updated my post.

You are quite correct. Stupid has no gender. Being from a district directly south of the one that spawned Bachman, I know that all too well.

21. Damn

22. Rottensack sez wut?

Just another racist, useless GOPer continuing the war on immigrants and everyone not in the GOP death cult.
