The double-standard is a fresh way WI Republicans and their cudgels are keeping Walkerism alive across state government.
They can't outright cancel elections, but Republican legislators have a rightwing-run high court to keep alive the reactionary governance voters rejected in the Democrats' statewide office sweep in November, 2018.
This goes beyond snubbing special legislative session requests and pretending the Governor isn't part of the process.
Several weeks ago, the right-wing State Supreme Court majority hamstrung the executive's ability to put public health ahead of enabling a pandemic.
Then Thursday it OK'ed most of the GOP's partisan, post-2018 election power grabs, thereby extending Walkerite control of the Capitol despite his defeat, and also put restrictions on victorious Democratic AG Josh Kaul which had not applied to the ousted GOP AG Brad Schimmel.
Today the right-wing justices slapped Evers'-only limitations on a Wisconsin Governor's veto authority.
These are big wins for the GOP and its wealthy donors whose encrusted conservative extremism is crumbling nationally.
Waiting for the GOP-dominated legislature to approve a new Wisconsin license plate slogan:
