Sen. Schoenbeck wins the internet today with his response to Julie Frye Mueller’s lawsuit

Senator and Senate President Pro Tempore Lee Schoenbeck wins the Internet today with his response to Senator Julie Frye Mueller’s lawsuit (as represented by former Speaker of the House Steve Haugaard) demanding she be put back on committees. From the Dakota Scout:

Schoenbeck, a veteran trial lawyer, also dismissed the legal theory under which Frye-Mueller is seeking Court intervention.

“Unless you’ve studied Klingon, you’re not going to be able to understand it,” he said, referring to the aliens in the science fiction series Star Trek. “And I don’t want to badmouth the Klingons, but this is not in English.”

    1. I’m just going to say that the legislature probably doesn’t have anything to worry about with JFM because they can do what they want but they are fortunate the young lady who works at LRC hasn’t filed a series of lawsuits against them for dragging her HR complaint into the front pages of the media.

      She could be a very wealthy young lady.

  3. There needs to be a Democrat to step forward and run with actual South Dakota roots offering a sane alternative to a candidate that parachutes into a district seeing opportunity or the chaos and self serving nutty drama by those getting elected with an R behind their name.

    The SD “Q” or Trump Party is embroiled in chaos like other state GOP parties taken over by MAGA election deniers, conspiracy enthusiasts and pure political opportunists. We need legislators focused on serving all constituents not just a small fringe minority.

    1. The woman running against Julie Frye Mueller in the GOP Primary was raised on a ranch in the district. Her mailing address is Hot Springs, South Dakota. She attended the University of South Dakota as well as an out of state university to ger her law degree. She has taken the SD Bar Exam.

    2. the year is so young, and the lies are so thick in every direction. not sure we should care about polls this early. lets see how the gauntlet of court cases goes.

  4. JFM has changed her story about the aide every time I have heard it. She is a habitual liar.

    3. You nailed it. I’ve also heard three different versions. It’s much less work to remember the truth.

    1. There really isn’t any.

      It’s the Senate, functioning under Senate rules.

      The Judiciary doesn’t rule over the Senate.

  6. I totally agree with JFM’s statement that District 30 voters are being deprived of representation….just look at her record of “accomplishments” (or lack thereof). Senate leadership is not required to seat JFM on any committee. It’s time for District 30 voters to wake up and elect someone that has their best interests in mind and who has had experience living in the District; working, paying taxes, raising a family, etc. JFM and her husband love the controversy and turmoil because they love the attention. Stop wasting taxpayer’s time and money and go do something productive like selling pillows for the pillow guy, geez. (BTW, I sleep on a My Pillow and they are quite comfy! Ha!)
