The "Conservative" Washington County???

As usual, the worms are deep in the woodwork, even in "conservative" counties.

But the story has a happy ending.

Wisconsin’s Court of Appeals District III (CAD III) countered Washington County’s gun control rules for foster parents, rebuking the county for some of the controls and completely erasing others....

Written in the decision:

 The Laffertys have been seeking to exercise their state and federal constitutional rights for five years while the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families (DCF) and Washington County Human Services Department (the County) have dithered, moved the goal posts, and changed the rules of the game every step along the way....

 It is NOT a surprise that Wisconsin's DCF is a sneaky bunch of jackwads.  It's a Madison bureaucracy with tentacles strangling citizens all over the State.

...[The appeals court] was not pleased with the way Washington County had been tardy in informing the appeals court it had removed some of its gun control and  [the court] subsequently “scolded the county for playing games with the courts over the changes.”...

Not to worry.  The County's termites will not change, nor go away--unless the County Exec, Josh Schoemann, fires their asses.

Think he will?  He says he's "conservative."

Threats to judges is so Trump.

—“President Donald Trump and his allies have repeatedly blasted individual federal judges as rogue actors and political activists whose rulings are illegitimate, including in a post last month by the top lawyer at the Department of Homeland Security. Some judges have found the rhetoric so troubling that they are increasingly speaking out about the danger it poses to the rule of law, an unusual move for members of the judiciary, who prefer to avoid the limelight. “We’re just doing our job,” McConnell said. “What’s unusual is the dehumanization, the threats, the personalization of our doing our jobs.””—

The job? Enforcing the rule of law, not bending it because Trump says so
