A judge in Madison, Wis., on Thursday ruled a controversial law severely limiting the collective bargaining powers of public employee unions in the state was not in effect.

Can you say judicial misconduct? I knew you could...
Everyone in the state knew about this law. They are socialists, who just don't likeViolated the OPEN meeting law.
the outcome of the vote.
Gov Walker needs to continue to enforce the new law and just let this judge stew in her own union thug juice and pound her bench in frustration.
COMINTERN is back
No.
They will simply go to the judge and object to something else.
Then it is time to start laying off thousands of state workers.
Dane County is not representative of Wisconsin. Heart of liberalism, why it’s called Madistan.

“Has the local news media bothered to report on the judges obvious conflict of interest? Or have they deemed that unimportant?”

The underlying focus of this pathetic dictate proclaimed by Sumi is the left’s attempt to tie this issue to the upcoming Supreme Court Judge election. If the left and their union cohorts succeed in electing the leftist candidate, it will change the make-up of the court and activist, leftist judges will be in the majority.
