God I'm fucking tired of this type of hypocrisy. They want her to ignore that republicans have systemically attacked democracy in Wisconsin, but they think that if she gives a ruling on the case it would be "undemocratic". I hope no one falls for this shit.

The worst part is Republicans are the first ones to trot out "mandate from the people" whenever they get elected...
