MADISON, Wis. -- A Wisconsin judge has ruled that there should be no further implementation of a law taking away nearly all collective bargaining rights for public workers.
Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi said Tuesday that her earlier restraining order saying the law shouldn't be enacted had either been ignored or misinterpreted.
Sumi stopped short of saying the law was not already in effect. She said she will take more testimony on that issue.
The Legislative Reference Bureau posted the law on a legislative website Friday, leading Gov. Scott Walker's administration to declare the law was in effect.
Sumi revised her original March temporary restraining order blocking the secretary of state from publishing the law, which is typically the last step before it becomes effective.

I'm sorry, did you say something?

Why hasn’t she been taken to task over the FACT that she should recuse herself, since she has an obvious bias in this case?
It would be silly not to expect this to wind up in the lap of the Wis Supremes, whose very leaning is at stake with the upcoming election. The Rats are Acorning with all their might for this one. I hope the broken glass Republicans win the day.
Given that she’s pooh-poohed the notion in public already, this becomes an appellate issue.
Ultimately the court doesn’t have more input than the litigants before it. If the Rat side failed to ask the court to keep the law from getting published in this alternative way, then that’s their problem.
Ignored.
"Sumi stopped short of saying the law was not already in effect. She said she will take more testimony on that issue."
And why on earth would she stop short there? Perhaps because she is DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR ANY REASON to back up her ideological unlawful ruling?
The people and the government are now two distinct and competing entities. Eventually, one will prevail completely over the other.
I see the legislature stripping her of her authority to rule in such things.
Very simple. Same thing for the Wisc Supremes.
The legislature can enforce its will by killing all their budgets and putting their asses out on the street.
Start with funding for her County judgeship first.
Money always talks.
FReegards!
In the sole county she has jurisdiction over.
Ignore her just the way Obama ignores federal judges and the Constitution.
Judge Sumi will get smacked down by WI Supremes for COI issues.
The people and the government are now two distinct and competing entities. Eventually, one will prevail completely over the other.
Walker should absolutely follow this judge’s edict.
In the sole county she has jurisdiction over.

Exactly. Implement the law in all counties but hers. Start massive layoffs in hers.
“And a child shall lead them...”
Obama was the first to set the standard for ignoring judges that step outside of their version of the constitution.
So Sumi should first make noise about Obama ignoring a judge’s orders before she complains about Walker.
Not if we lose the Wisconsin Supreme Court election at the beginning of April. That would shift the balance to the left and the court will likely side with every Dem effort to derail this legislation.
FOX News is already reporting that the Walker Administration is ignoring the Sumi ruling and, for good measure, giving her the middle finger. Walker’s justice dept is saying that Sumi’s ridiculous order only applies to the secretary of state and that the order is moot, because the law has already been published.
Thank God Scott Walker has stones.
