Breaking: Wisconsin Judge Rewrites Restraining Order for Third Time to Stop Anti-Union Law From Going Into Effect…
Judicial activism at its finest.
MADISON, Wis. — The contentious collective bargaining law that strips most public workers of nearly all collective bargaining rights and force them to contribute more to their pension and health plans is not in effect, according to an amended restraining order released on Thursday morning.
Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi issued the amended ruling at 8:15 a.m. on Thursday. She had already issued an emergency order blocking Wisconsin’s secretary of state from publishing the law, called Wisconsin Act 10. Sumi called a hearing Tuesday to weigh District Attorney Ismael Ozanne’s lawsuit alleging Republican legislative leaders violated Wisconsin’s open meetings law during debate on the proposal.
Sumi re-issued her order on Tuesday and this time, she has warned that anyone who violates it will face sanctions. She amended the ruling on Thursday to read, “Further, based on the briefs of counsel, the uncontroverted testimony, and the evidence received at the March 29 evidentiary hearing, it is hereby declared that 2011 Wisconsin Act 10 has not been published.”
Democratic Assembly Minority Leader Rep. Peter Barca welcomed Judge Sumi’s actions. In a statement Thursday he said, “The Judge made it abundantly clear on Tuesday that Gov. Walker that Gov. Walker and his administration, including DOA Secretary Mike Huebsch, should not be implenting Act 10. I believe she made it clear then with her order that stop means stop.”

If at first you don’t succeed rewrite, if you screw it up the second time write it a third.
I just said the other day the governor should continue with the implementation just as Obozo has done with healthcare and drilling permits.
Let the liberal pigs squeal.
What a maroon. What is it about STFU that she doesn’t get?
@Chicken_Shitte
Amen to that…!!!
What a stupid judge. She should have recused herself since her son is an AFL/CIO SIEU lackey. Time for the legislature to pass some laws getting rid of lackey judges. At least a very similar law was passed in Ohio. The union tards screamed and carried on, but the legislature noticed that they were few in number compared to the rest of the population who support the bill.
Hear ye, Hear ye…I Judge Sumi do hereby decree that from this day forward I am the Queen of Wisconsin. No law, decree, ruling or other nonsense that does not come from me from this day forward is hereby ruled void!
STFU you union, hack-job sellout “judge”!!!!!
she is a disgrace to the bench and to the State of Wisconsin.

Agreed, all the businesses and governors need to grow a pair and press forward with drilling and destroy healthcare! Screw the EPA, the President and DOJ!
If she read the law doesn’t that indicate that it was published? Sounds like more 1984 from the libs.
Bitch……
Pray that Prosser wins next Tuesday!
Next stop: WI State Supreme Court!
Her offspring is an SEIU lieutenant. hmm maybe she should have recused (stepped away) from this case.
Barca needs to learn “Your party lost the election, fool” means “Your party lost the election, fool”
She’s got attitude, weight, and purpose. She’s a bona fide Sumi wrestler.
DRAFT LEGISLATION TO REMOVE HER!
Hell, the Governor should just start firing those union pukes from their jobs as he warned before….see how quickly the “judge” will reverse her decision!
Vote on it again, maybe the asshole will have returned to work by now (fleebaggers)
Judicial ethics would require her recusal. Not having done so, she has no ethics and needs to be sanctioned/removed.
.
So when to the layoffs begin?
A judge is supposed to rule on the law, not make it. The people spoke at the ballot box last fall and this is the law they passed.
Walker needs to have her arrested.
Law is a living thing that can be changed to fit whatever you want. If he re-writes it again to have Walker arrested, then the left would be quite happy with that law issued by our judicial branch.
Legal decisions have no bearing on the Dems and the current administration. Why should Walker and his group be concerned?
Gov. Walker should stop, and comply with the order, and then issue lay off a whole lot of union state workers. Thousands
Fucking liberals…if they aren’t screwing up shit they are sticking their nose in it.
burn the witch!
Gotcha, a Florida court halting Obamacare is not judicial activism, but a Wisconsin court halting Act 10 is judicial activism. Makes perfect sense.
I don’t live in Dane County, Wi but can see it from my window. It’s getting really old, tired of the protesting. Madison-Dane County does believe they are above the law.
We need to vote this crap out of office.
Well.. doesen’t PUBLISHED mean that it is in print? Or does it refer to a more technical detail?
If the word of law is in print…that is difficult to argue.
Can you clear this up for me?
