The strange thing is this: the GOP could make this all go away, by simply just re-passing the bill in the legislature and the senate. So why isn't Walker doing that? Just re-vote on the bill.

The only reason could be that he no longer has the votes to pass his union-busting bill The overwhelming public anger and the recalls must have scared off GOP who would not vote the same way again.

But wait you supported the WI 14 that left the state. Isn't that ironic

There is no point in arguing with a liberal judge who has an agenda. The argument is that the judicial system has no right to be involved with the process until the law is in effect.

No. I think the GOP are free not to appear in court due to their legislative immunity, if that's what they want to do. I think it's a remarkably stupid path if their goal is to get this law passed quickly, and be done with it, because it's just stretching it out, especially in light of the April 5th election.

The GOP just worked against their own best interests. Duh.

LOL. Actually, she's a Republican-appointed judge who has personally donated more of her personal money to Republican candidates, and generally has a reasonably conservative viewpoint. She only became a "liberal activist" when the GOP needed her to be But it's nice of you to jump on the "defame the opposition" bandwagon for the GOP. You're doing your part in trying to divert attention from the GOP being in court for violating multiple laws, and blaming the judge.

If the GOP thought Sumi was an "activist judge", why did the GOP not have her taken off the case at the start of this? They actively declined to do this.

The GOP should buy themselves some lawyer - because the AG isn't helping them at all. The SOS saw that, and immediately got his own attorney.
