These guys are simply unbelievable ... this would be like Congress telling the Supreme Court to go eff themselves, they can't rule on the constitutionality or legality of any law the the Congress made, and they will ignore any rulings the court makes.

It's bad enough Walkers "budget bill" ends up costing the state money, rather than saving it. Now he's costing the state hundreds of thousands defending itself from multiple lawsuits, and he's only been in office since January (sorta like what happened when Walker worked for the county, and illegally fired people and hired a private contractor - which all had to be undone and paid for, too)

State will continue implementing collective bargaining law despite judge's order

State officials are moving ahead with changes to collective bargaining rules for public employees despite a judge's order barring the law's implementation — and a threat of sanctions against anyone who violates it.

Department of Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch said Wednesday he has a legal obligation to implement all laws passed by the Legislature, signed by Gov. Scott Walker and published into law. Huebsch said the Department of Justice and his own legal counsel, a team of DOA attorneys, agree the measure has met those requirements "and is now effective law."

"It is my duty to administer that law," he said.

Huebsch's latest comments raise questions about whether he or others could face sanctions following a hearing Tuesday, when Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi said any further implementation of the law is prohibited under a temporary court order.

"Now that I've made my earlier order as clear as it possibly can be, I must state that those who act in open and willful defiance of the court order place not only themselves at peril of sanctions, they also jeopardize the financial and the governmental stability of the state of Wisconsin," Sumi said Tuesday.

Sumi was referring to a March 18 ruling that a legislative committee likely violated the state's open meetings law when it rushed passage of the bill earlier this month. That order also barred Secretary of State Doug La Follette from publishing the law.
