Good, now sanction her ass for the interference.

she should be removed from office. I have no idea if recalls or impeachment is allowed, but she is a disgrace to our Republic. She would be a better fit in some communist country.

I’m in L.A. If it’s the 9th Circus, it won;t be favorable to us but the Appeals Crt will be the only hope.

“This was not a victory. This was a narrow escape. The ruling was 4 to 3 in the governor’s favor”

I have to agree. The three clowns who supported Sumi’s ruling should resign.

Yes, but regardless of either Court’s decision it will be appealed to the Supreme Court of the U.S.

I am hopeful that the Supremes will uphold Prop 8. To declare a constitutional amendment unconstitutional is pretty ridiculous.

>To declare a constitutional amendment unconstitutional is pretty ridiculous.<

And to uphold a former judge’s decision that was a blatant disregard of the concept of “conflict of interest” in the first place, when that same judge had a homo relationship and should have excused himself.

This state already last week approved free tuition to illegals and now this...

What about a judge’s Marx-given right to over-rule the results of a free and fair election and write her own law?

Are we a Marx-fearing nation, or not?

I ask you!

The story in the JS does not make a single mention of the fact that the Democrats walked out in an attempt to disable the Wisconsin legislature.

Uh...

In February, Walker proposed eliminating most collective bargaining for all public workers except police, firefighters and State Patrol troopers.

The day the Senate was to take up the bill, the Democrats prevented action on the bill by fleeing to Illinois. Under the state constitution, at least 20 senators had to be present to pass the measure because it included fiscal elements, and the Republicans hold just 19 seats.

The leftists are having problems getting numbers. WEAC is sending out emails urging teachers to participate in protests in Madison.

http://www.620wtmj.com/blogs/jeffwagner/123807249.html

Today I was listening to Jeff Wagner on radio 620. He was having a good time slamming teachers and the WEAC in particular. He was proclaiming that they have been rendered impotent and that the battle for GOP’s “progressive” budget was almost done. Better yet, he was proclaiming that the resistance has lost their will to fight and seem to be giving in. As proof, he talked about how the highly advertised “Walkerville” was a joke with a mere 30 tents per night camped out on the square. He commented that last weekend’s teacher lead march garnered all of about 25 people.He also mentioned
that a “giant rally” today on the Wis. Manufacturers & Commerce Assoc. only attracted a measley 100.
He said the liberal cause had all but petered out and they were laying down and giving up and that victory would be theirs by the end of the week. Are we going to let them think we no longer care? We can no longer sit back and let the next guy fight our battles for us. We can no longer sit back and complain if we aren’t willing to do something about it. It’s time for everyone who believes in this cause to stand up and be counted in Madison tomorrow.

Subject: Tuesday Protests

With the news that legislative leaders are calling an “extraordinary session” to limit the democratic process and ram through Governor Walker’s dangerous and hurtful budget, Mary Bell has issued a call to action for WEAC members to come to Madison on Tuesday.

Join us as the people of Wisconsin rally against Walker and Republican legislators who, through a political maneuver, are suspending normal rules and will allow Republicans to take up unforeseen issues, limit debate, limit amendments and limit democracy - making it possible to ram the budget through quickly.

We cannot allow this to happen.

Recruit your families and friends, make your signs and join Wisconsin’s nurses, firefighters, public employees and concerned Wisconsinites to send a message to legislators that Wisconsinites are watching - and we’re not going to allow these extreme actions to go unnoticed.

Protests begin on Tuesday at 11 a.m. on the Capitol Square and will culminate at 5:30 with a rally at the State Street corner. Come when you can - just be sure to have your voice heard. For more details, visit weac.org/activities.

There will not be shuttles, so you will need to park downtown.

Elections have consequences. It was a 4 to 3 ruling. This is the importance of the Judge Prosser election.

This was not a victory. This was a narrow escape. The ruling was 4 to 3 in the governor’s favor.
This should be a wake-up call to conservatives that we are just one or two elections away from a socialist court in Wisconsin. they are reading the same constitution and coming up with different interpretations.

The same thing is going on all over the country.

True this was a narrow escape, but still a victory! It would have been a complete turn of events if they had been able to get Judge Prosser off the Supreme Court.
