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.

I agree. Must be a publicity stunt.

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.

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

>>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? ;-)

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.

Uh, this wont fly. The feds cant interfere with states internal government Hahaha, you're funny! But...
"...denies hundreds of thousands of public employees their right to collectively bargain for a better life..."
There's no way the court is going to say they're right because it would effectively establish a minimum level of collective bargaining privileges for government workers. This level, the former Wisconsin level, is far higher than what federal employees get by law. Under equal protection, the federal employees would then be entitled to Wisconsin-level privileges. Even Obama doesn't want that.
To: Jean S
This is going to go on for years.
It seems to me that Walker should start the layoffs, 2000 at a time.

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."

Because as we all know, laws are made by judges, not by elected legislatures. /sarcasm
To: apillar
"...the best they can hope for is some ultra liberal Obama appointee issues a stay..."And that is exactly what they got.
The case was assigned to Federal Judge William M. Conley
On October 29, 2009, President Barack Obama nominated Conley to serve on the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin.
What are the chances that this case was "assigned" on a random basis? None I suspect.
