Frigging judges...

Seems like the Governor has no choice but to starting cutting budgets including say a 25% reduction in the salaries of state judges.

thisis from wikipedia

In February 2011, in the middle of a statewide debate regarding labor unions’ collective bargaining, Judge Sumi refused the Madison School District’s request to send teachers back to work. The district asked the judge to impose a temporary restraining order to bar teachers from participating in further work stoppages. It referred to the teachers’ protests in the capital as a strike, which are illegal under state law. The judge refused to categorize the work stoppage as a strike and said that the district could not prove irreparable harm had been caused by the teachers

The judge has exceeded her authority, and should be slapped down by a higher court.

No wonder so many great people don’t want to run for political office in this country.

We are just too broken to adequately function anymore.

Entirely predictable. I seriously doubt this law ever goes into effect. The Dems are just going to tie it up in court for as long as it takes for them to get a majority back in one of the state Houses (most probably the state Senate) or recall the Governor. Once the law is completely struck down by leftist judges, they will have the numbers to prevent passing it again. In the meantime they are mobilized for the supreme court election in April to make sure they create a liberal tilt of the court to continue frustrating any chance this law has to be implemented.

What is amazing is how many conservatives actually thought this fight had been won and it was over.

“Easy fix.”

I’m not so sure about that. I don’t think they’re even in session right now. And I think I read that the AG, a dem, has to post the bill, and insisted on taking 10 days or so to do that.

Correct, it is not an easy fix. AG is a Republican. The SoS has to publish the bill. He was waiting as long as possible to do so because he knew a liberal court would issue this ruling. There are enough leftists in the courts in Wisconsin to see to it that this new law is not implemented anytime soon. They will tie it in knots until they can get a different balance in the legislature or perhaps a different governor. This fight will be going on for a very long time.

Why does anyone imagine “Lefty” La Follette was delaying so long — takes a while to shop judges, I guess. But larger issue is to delay until April election when lefties hope WI SC Judge Prossser will be defeated by the lefty canidate and the case sent to the Court where it will be struck down.

Don't know about Wisconsin, but in CA we get to vote to retain judges or not.

Conservatives have been researching judges and have voted a few really arrogant leftist ones out.

Small, but now, all the judges pay close attention to the elections.

Sadly it won't save California, but it might save responsible states.

Most county courts are ‘circuit’ courts.

So I would probably have to say false.

Isn’t there a separation of powers issue here?
