Wisconsin Judge Halts Further Implementation Of Union Law

Wisconsin Judge Halts Further Implementation Of Union Law

MADISON, Wis. — A Wisconsin judge for the second time directed the state to put on hold an explosive law that strips most public workers of nearly all their union bargaining rights, ordering officials on Tuesday to follow her original instructions to stand down.

"Apparently that language was either misunderstood or ignored, but what I said was the further implementation of (the law) was enjoined," said a visibly annoyed Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi. "That is what I now want to make crystal clear."

Earlier this month, Sumi issued an emergency injunction prohibiting the Wisconsin secretary of state from formally publishing the law – the final step before it could take effect.

Republican legislative leaders responded by directing the law be published by another state agency, and then declared it valid. State officials began implementing the law this weekend, stopping the collection of union dues for state workers and taking more from their pay for health care and retirement.

Sumi said Tuesday that action violated her original order, and she made it clear after a daylong hearing that the law was on hold while she considers a broader challenge to its legality.

Ooopsie.... I guess trying to do an illegal end-run around a judge's injunction order is not a good idea... Oh, well, it's not that long until January...(Can you say "RECALL"?)

Just mimicking the retard in the white house.

Let us know when you have something intelligent to say, Toady.

Obamacare was declared unconstitutional...but it's still being enforced.

The judge in Wisconsin is a dictator.

That point was beyond looney jerk

No, Toady, I just don't read RetardedTrash's posts. Obamacare was also declared constitutional by as many judges as have declared it unconstitutional. It will ultimately be decided by the SCOTUS.

The judge is just get her 15 minutes, and a alot of union dues under the table, "It's the Chicago way!"
