If Republicans remove Wisconsin Supreme Court justice the state becomes 'an oligarchy': reporter

Senior Vox correspondent Ian Millhiser is sounding the alarm about the battle Republicans in Wisconsin have taken up attempting to remove a member of the state Supreme Court elected by the people. If that happens, the state becomes an oligarchy, he said.

Millhiser, who covers the legal beat, explained that over the past ten years, the state has been gerrymandered so severely that it has become impossible for a Democratic majority to be elected in the state House, despite having the majority everywhere else.

Watch: Fox hosts celebrate socialism cited by a colleague stranded at Burning Man

Heavy rains poured in the desert of Black Rock City, Nevada, where the festival Burning Man is held annually. The overabundance of mud meant that attendees couldn't drive out and even hiking the 6 miles to the main road proved to be difficult.

Over the decades, the week-long community has been largely attended by artists and hippies, but in the past several years, long-time attendees argue it has become too commercialized with Silicon Valley tech-bros, a new crop of millionaire and billionaire technology moguls, The New York Times reported in a 2014 report.
