Wisconsin judge tosses union-busting law

It wasn't, it was a special session. The judge is wrong, and I would wager she knows she is wrong. This will be overturned by the state supremes...and I'm pretty sure she knows that, too. She was just buying time (four months) and rendered her decision closer to the recall elections. It's clear no senate rule was violated.

 

Interesting -- a Wisconsin state legislator tells her constituents that the reason police and fire were left out of the union-busting legislation was “because we didn’t have the stomach for more protestors.”

“The governor had a contingency plan for every public employee if everyone walked off the job except for the police and fire, so they were left off… It made perfect sense,” she said.

Walker was stoopid to forget that Wisconsin is at heart progressive and won't cotton to Pinkertonism.

 

It's not clear. If it were clear, this wouldn't be in the courts.

 

I am fascinated by this story because it contains everything I'm interested in. Can't wait to see how this one comes out. Love to see the Supreme Court take it up as it gets closer to the recall elections. At least then maybe the media will write about it.

 

HA HA! FUCK YOU GOVERNOR KOCH WALKER!

 

It's pretty simple. State law > congressional rules.

Special sessions can't be used to circumvent open-meeting laws. Was there a public interest to hold a special session?

 

Want a baba and a wattle? Duz Inky need his widdle diapie changed? Awwwww...

 

No, it is clear. It shouldn't be in the courts. But I guess finding a liberal judge willing to turn her back on the rule of law and render an indefensable decision is more convenient than having everyone flee the state again.

 

The rule of law is in the eye of the beholder.
