(Wisconsin) Appeals panel: Supreme Court should take up collective bargaining law
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel ^ | 3/24/11 | Patrick Marley and Lee Bergquist

Posted on 03/24/2011 1:22:21 PM PDT by Jean S

Madison — A state appeals panel said Thursday a case over a new collective bargaining should go directly to the state Supreme Court.

The move puts the issue squarely before the Supreme Court less than two weeks before Justice David Prosser faces re-election.

I’ve always maintained that voting and elections were unConstitutional.

The senate needs to call an immediate vote (with police at the doors) to make the law retroactive to Jan 1. The Unions will try and sign as many deals as possible while this goes on.

Many, many places have stopped such things from occurring by showing up and telling their officials NOT to extend contracts until the law is finally published and in effect.

The appeals court punted purposefully on this to force the State Supreme Court to rule before the coming Statewide election for David Prosser’s seat.

Its going to be a couple of interesting weeks here in WI.

Yes, you nailed it. Chief Justice will expediate the vote, she hates Prosser and wants him to lose to Kloppenburg on the 5th. They can undo this (and a lot more) after the libs have a majority on the court.

The Appeals Court voted “present”?

The unions will be gunning for him regardless. He might as well make their tantrum moot by saying the law is valid.

The left is banking on this being an unpopular ruling and I think they may well be wrong (God I hope I’m wrong). There’s been a few articles about how once you get outside of Dane and Milwaukee Counties that people are very pissed with how this has gone. We’ll see.

One thing that I hope may lower interest in the Apr 5th election at least in Milwaukee is the rumored lack of interest in the black community for the Democrat County Executive nominee. Their candidate got beat in the primary and its doubtful they vote for a trust fund baby from the Northshore.

We’ll see.

I briefly caught Walker’s AG (I think that was who it was) on Greta’s show a night or two ago. He basically admitted that if they put it to a vote again, they’re not sure they’ll keep all the “Yes” votes.

At its heart, the case centers on the extent to which the public, under the state constitution, has a right to access the Legislature.

The bill was passed legally in Wisconsin and if they vote on the same bill again the left will just find another objection.

The riots in Madison would be even worse too.

Somebody help me get this better. This panel I thought would quickly rule in favor of the Senate passage of the bill. Rules were clear. Is it really that vicious and crooked up there?

Once the S C rules correctly, the next step needs to be removing leftwingnut Sumi from the bench.

Would Walker consider a re-vote on the law to avoid the Supreme Court?
