They also violated the judges recent specific order that the public must be allowed inside the Capital (they were restricting access today).

The lawyers have already descended on this latest nonsense.

The public tonight has retaken the capital building - they literally stormed the doors and have occupied the building. I hope there isn't violence.

Act Blue raised $100,000 in 2 hours tonight, money still flowing in, tomorrow there will be ad blitzes in all the Republican districts. The Republicans in the Assembly still have to vote on this, which is scheduled for tomorrow - which would be another violation of the open meeting notification act (too soon, need 24 hours notice)

Walker stripped every financial thing out of the bill to pass the union busting provision only. The Senate Republican president was on Fox saying the union busting is all about the 2012 Presidential and trying to control donations to beat Obama.

Anybody still naive enough to believe the lie this union busting had anything remotely to do with any budget deficit?

I thought all the polls showed the public was in favor of the democrats and against walker. If this is actually the case how would that help the republicans in 2012

It kinda reminded me of the passage of Obamakare - except Riot and the DEMS thought that was OK procedurally and legal.

Being in the majority has its perks.

.

What an absurd contention. Of course and beyond obviously the passage of that law was entirely legal and procedurally valid. Nobody has ever questioned that, not even the GOP.

That law was also available to the public on the internet for several days before the final vote. It wasn't passed with the Committee Chair outright refusing to give out copies of the law, nor was it passed secretly without proper notice.

You must be mouthing today's right-wing blogosphere meme whining about "reconciliation". Except reconciliation wasn't used to pass the majority of the PPACA. Try again.

It's kind of embarrassing, the pro-Walker talking points being handed out about this over the past couple days. They are simply inaccurate. It does prove how many don't pay any attention whatsoever to what happens in Washington, even for huge deals (like the PPACA)

Ror!!

Besides all the whinning and crying there is no way this vote will ever be considered illegal - no matter how much you or the Dems or Michael Moore or Jesse Jackass wish it to be so.

They need to change their chant to "It's all over...It's all over" !!

Now get back to work and do something productive like the rest of us.

We'll see. Your Republican Attorney General appears to be on the side of the open meetings law.

You mean like the death threats against Obama going up 400 times normal right after the election, and through the inauguration? Senate candidate Sharron Angle saying we should use our "second amendment remedies" if we don't like what our government is doing? Congresswoman Gabby Giffords being shot? Muslim-Kenyan-Communists are coming for YOU!?

Threats and violence are never right. Too bad that's become acceptable talk within the public sphere within the past couple of years.

So after the 400X threat never came to fruition, you're still trying to connect Sharon Angle and Gabby Giffords' being shot? Hanging by a thread now. LOL

BTW maybe your 'Muslim-Kenyan-Communist' can show the way and as his daughters grow up driving, dating and marrying who they want, clitorises' intact, with no fear of being killed by their father for dishonoring him? Now were talking Obama the leader.

It won't. The GOP attempt to strip their opposition financially is failing, big time.

The 2012 election will be won in the midwest: Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio. It's nice of Walker to put Wisconsin fully in the "blue" column.
