And now, Wisconsin Republicans chose to simply IGNORE the court stay on publication of the law.

Un - effing - believable. This is still America, right? We don't allow dictators?

Union law published despite restraining order
Fitzgerald, Barca disagree on whether law goes into effect Saturday

Madison — In a stunning twist, Gov. Scott Walker's legislation limiting collective bargaining for public workers was published Friday despite a judge's hold on the measure, prompting a dispute over whether it takes effect Saturday.

New suit filed

Also Friday, another suit was filed over the law, bringing to three the total number of cases now pending.

Madison firefighters and public works employees filed suit in Dane County Circuit Court against Walker and the state seeking to block the law from taking effect, saying it had been passed in violation of the state constitution.

The Judge was approached over the weekend with request for an emergency hearing on violation of her injunction not to publish - she saws the law is NOT in effect due to her injunction no matter what they do (sorry Senate Leader Fitzpatrick), and she'll address everything tomorrow in court.

Judge blocked any further implementation of the Wisconsin union-busting law until she can hear the case on it's legality, and had some distinctly pointed words for Senate leader R-Fitzgerald regarding his trying to go around her temporary restraining order and say the law is published and implemented.

Gov. Walkers office was saying the same thing, and yesterday they already changed paychecks of state employees to not withhold union dues - WRONG MOVE guys. You are not above the law, even though you are acting like it.

This certainly will end up in the Wisconsin supreme court - thus very important election April 5th for supreme court judge.

riot, i may be remembering incorrectly, but didn't you scoff at lawsuits filed against the health care law?

Riot forgets that judge Sumi didn't have jurisdiction to place a restraining order on the bill in the first place until it became law and she placed the restraining order against the wrong legislative branch. Just a few of her errors. What should happen legally whether you agree or disagree is the law is published and becomes law then you can challenge it in court. The courts do not have jurisdiction until it becomes law. Just my non-law degree opinion though.

The ones that say it's unconstitutional? I didn't scoff at the filing of lawsuits, I said I didn't think they'd be found valid. Haven't been so far.

In Wisconsin, Fitzgerald and Walker are completely dismissing any influence of the court, including Fitzgerald purposely ignoring the judges temporary restraining order, taking the position they are above the law. We'll see. Not the same situation in the least.

The Republican Party of Dane County sent out a press release on March 29th criticizing Judge Maryann Sumi for holding up the publication of Governor Scott Walker’s collective bargaining reform bill. Upon further reflection we’d like to apologize for not understanding her point of view.

Sure, Governor Walker’s bill is unquestionably constitutional, increases worker’s rights and helps local government balance budgets without having to fire public workers. The Wisconsin state legislature consulted with their non-partisan parliamentarian to make sure that the passage of the bill followed the rules of the Senate and Assembly. But this isn’t about the law, is it?

The Republican Party of Dane County recognizes that Judge Sumi is a leftist living in Dane County. Her friends are leftists living in Dane County. Her son is a left wing activist in Dane County. She goes to cocktail parties held by leftists in Dane County. She shops at organic gourmet food shops run by leftists living in Dane County. If she were to enforce the law of Wisconsin and do what was in the best interest of the people of Wisconsin, she’d be exiled from her lifestyle. She’d lose her friends!

The leadership of the Republican Party of Dane County have all made the choice to stand against the Dane County elite. We accept that Left feels righteous vandalizing our homes and keying our cars. It's only fair. We disagree based upon logic and principle. That is intolerable! We prioritize the Constitution and the well being of the people of Wisconsin over foie gras at cocktail parties. That’s the choice we made. We respect Judge Sumi’s decision to live her life with the rich diversity that liberals cherish
