Madison — A judge's hold on Gov. Scott Walker's union bargaining bill should be kept in place, Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne argued Tuesday. In a filing with a state appeals court, the Democratic district attorney argued that the law, which sharply curtails collective bargaining by public workers, is effectively void because a committee violated the state open meetings law in passing it.
Without the allegedly improper committee vote, the later passage of the law by the Senate and Assembly "could not and would not have happened," Ozanne argued.

The saga continues. Ozanne replied to the appeals court’s request.
this is the lawless west.
It won’t stop until the pitchforks and torches come out.
I think if the courts screw around too much the Senate will just go back in session and pass the damn thing over again. Won’t that floor debate be a joy to listen to?
The Senate Republicans want the courts to smack Sumi down for trying to tell the legislature what to do but they won’t let it drag on and on. I think they petitioned for either an Appeal or a direct pass to the Supreme Court.
Seems to come down to which rules supercedes the other, but either way, the bill will be passed and put into law.
This “Judge” has so many conflicts of interest in this case, that she should have recused herself. But,,,, she’s a lib, and they don’t do the honorable thing,,,,,,
Soros at work.
To paraphrase this position of D.A. Ozanne, “This law was passed by the Republicans, that makes it illegal here in Madistan, your Honor!”
Methinks that Ozanne has been sniffing the Ozone!
I think you may be right.
This ought to be worth 3500 layoffs starting the 25th of this month!
No balls.
What the libs want is to live in a controlled society which is informally held by rituals,traditions that cede control to a small minority.
They still want to keep the trappings of a free society and they maintain a large hold on those who think that is exactly what they want.
The reality is they push for state sponsored penalties on dissenters,trying to do the equivalent of pushing people who disagree out of higher education or anywhere else that is seen as the privileged sphere of the left.
They will continue to do everything they can to maintain their hold on the government and keep their buddies as a supported class.
Just re-pass the damned bill with clearly adequate notice. (And I’m NOT saying the challenged bill did NOT have adequate notice. It’s just that there’s little reason NOT to simply re-pass the bill and avoid legal entanglements. On the other hand, with a huge leftist streak in the WI judiciary, there’s plenty of good reason NOT to rely on the courts there to uphold the law properly.)
Sumi should have recused herself since her son works for the AFL-CIO and SEIU
“Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne argued Tuesday.”
Maybe the DA should be doing his job and investigate the conflict of interest between a sitting Judge and her SEIU son.
Anybody want to represent the taxpayer? Maybe he should do something about these pigs?
Pray for America
I disagree, the law was passed legally.
Been saying that all along. Communism knows no defeat except total annihilation. All democrats are closet communists.
Isn't a district attorney's job description limited to prosecution and appeal of criminal cases?
