Shameful Assault on Democracy by Wisconsin GOP

Shameful is too weak a word to describe the thuggish attack on democracy by the Wisconsin GOP Wednesday. In violation of the state's open meetings law, Wisconsin Republicans passed a law that strips teachers, nurses, prison guards, and other public workers of the right to have a say in their working conditions and terms.

The video of the vote is shocking in its naked abuse of power.

Watch it and weep for democracy.
