Uh, this won’t fly. The feds can’t interfere with states internal government...............

[Outlaw Woman]

These maniacs never give up until they find someone that is as rotten as them to rule in their favor. Same way with the recounts, they never give up until they are able to mfg the number of ballots needed to win.

The rule of law means nothing in the United States any longer.

[Free Vulcan]

The unions are all-in now.

Worth watching . It will be interesting to see if they can find a District judge to agree the power of public employees to collectively bargain every aspect of their employment is a fundamental right. It should be big news to the Federal employees who do not have that power.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I love the smell of unions burning their members' union dues in the morning.

[RobRoy]

>>The suit, filed in the Western District of Wisconsin, says the legislation violates the 1st and 14th amendments “by stripping away basic rights to bargain, organize and associate for the purpose of engaging in union activity, which have been in place for the last half century.”<<

This is comical! :-D

What about all the right to work states? ;-)

[apillar]

Uhh, only one problem with that is that courts have ruled long before that it is a state issue (or else no right to work states would exist). They are really grasping at straws with this one, the best they can hope for is some ultra liberal Obama appointee issues a stay that delays the law a couple weeks before a higher court smacks it down.

Judge William M. Conley, Appointed March 25, 2010 by Barack Obama.

Any bets which way he’ll rule? Didn’t think so. This too will be heading to the SCOTUS.

[Gator113]

This is going to go on for years.

It seems to me that Walker should start the layoffs, 2000 at a time.

[Jean S]

From host.madison.com:
"Madison attorney William Conley was nominated Thursday by President Barack Obama to succeed the retiring U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb on the federal bench."

[cotton1706]

Because as we all know, laws are made by judges, not by elected legislatures. /sarcasm

[freedomwarrior998]

Laughable lawsuit. Borderline sanctionable.

[cripplecreek]

And the tantrum continues.

[eaglestar]

Unions are like dead Democrat voters, they keep coming back and won’t rest in peace.

[grumpygresh]

What about collective bargaining rights? Don’t unions have special constitutional rights to:
1. Force public sector workers to join unions.
2. Force the state to act as collection agency to collect union dues.
3. Grant monopolies to teacher’s unions to sell overpriced, no-bid health insurance to school districts.
Those rights have to be somewhere in that living breathing US Constitution.

[Always Independent]

Surprised BO’s NLRB clown isn’t weighing in on this one yet.

[Anti-Bubba182]

A Federal Court case was inevitable.

[smoothsailing]

The Wisconsin Legislature need to pass "loser pays" legislation to put an end to the left's frivilous lawsuits.

[Mariner]

As far as I know the Federal Government does not have the authority to compel a state to collectively bargain with a Union.

Federal law is limited to whether the state can prevent them from organizing.
