for us. how consequential is this move by governor scott walker? reporter: it s a major controversial move by governor walker. just a month after he lost reelection to democrat tony eavers, sending a very strong message on his way out the door that he isn t afraid to curb some powers of the incoming administration, even as democrats are calling this something of a sore loser response at best and at worst, an unconstitutional power grabby walker and wisconsin republicans in the state house. walker says that s all hype and hysteria and he said in a statement today that these measures do nothing to fundamentally diminish executive authority, but democrat tony evers responded, saying walker chose to ignore and override the will of the people of wisconsin. this will no doubt be scott walker s legacy. the people demanded a change on november 6th, election day, and they asked us to solve problems, not pick petty political fights.
what do you think of that as an explanation? well, if robin voss wants to control what the governor does he should run for governor. tony eavers won the election for governor and now the legislature has put aside what has been happening in states acrosses the country for generations in our federal government, which is transferring the full powers of the office after an election. represen republicans have decided that they know better than the voters and are seeking to take power away from the governor elect and me. you said this will end up in court and people are saying, this is dirty pool and maximalism, what legal recourse is for you and the incoming governor? i think there s unfortunately likely to be multiple lawsuits that come from this. i mean, one of the issues is that, the legislate which you are has taken power that is pretty clearly executive in nature, like the ability to resolve lawsuits and has given the lawsuit to itself.
