Good.

Too bad the Prosser court will either overturn the decision on appeal or rule the plaintiffs have no standing to challenge the law (probably citing the very law they're challenging as the reason).

Can they do that?

Considering that Prosser's reelection went to his own court, he didn't exclude himself from the case due to the obvious conflict of interest, ruled in his own favor and said his opponent didn't have standing to challenge his former secretary's "finding" of enough ballots to change the outcome of the election from "Prosser loses, but it's close enough that he would not have to pay the cost of a recount" to "Prosser wins, and the margin of victory is just barely big enough that his opponent would have to pay for the cost of the recall," I would not be terribly surprised if my prediction at the top of this thread holds true.

Suck it, Teatards.

Why do public workers need unions? Is it to escape employer abuse, exploitation, etc.?

I'm sure that all parties involved will accept this ruling, and this will be that last we'll hear about that unpleasantness. Also, there are sure to be no trolls in this thread.

Duh.

LGBTs everywhere cheer the ruling.

Hey, Wisconsin farkers. What's the over-under on Walker pulling an Andrew Jackson, and just ignoring the court and enforcing the law as is?

So the Teachers will be back to living in mansions and buying Cadillac's by Monday? The economy could use some people actually buying goods.

Goddam union judge.

So this means that Tom Barrett is automatically governor and the residents of Wisconsin are to deposit 85% of their bank accounts to the local Teamsters union and the remaining 15% directly to the WI chapter of the DNC (cuts out the middle-man), right?

So, is this a democracy or a dictatorship?

Is this a cooperative effort, or an one-man-ideological battle with himself?

Do we decide?

Or do you?

Will this ruling be overturned instantly, or merely immediately?

I just filed bankruptcy, so in a few months I might have like 5 discretionary dollars left to spend each month......what should I buy first?

Weaver95: its a start, but i'm sure this will be appealed. probably head to SCOTUS before it's all said and done.

Probably, the State Supreme Court already ruled the law constitutional once though the challenge that time was on different grounds.

The state Supreme Court in June 2011 ruled that the law was constitutional after it had been blocked by a different Dane County judge on a challenge over its passage being a violation of open meetings law.

D'oh!

/I can imagine quite a bit

Just so you all know, the Supreme Court of the United States doesn't have jurisdiction to hear this case. It will inevitably go to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, but that will be the end of the line.

Food and shelter.

Please see Maslow's Hierarchy.

Has the ban on federal employee collective bargaining been challenged this way? I can't see the ruling standing given that the federal ban has held all these years.

Largely, legitimate curiosity and a little sarcasm.

One of the most interesting and persuasive anti-public union arguments I've heard is that the union negotiates with lawmakers and government employees and not the people paying for anything new granted. Whereas in a company, the union negotiates with the owners/operators who also have to pay for any concessions. In the latter, the people granting concessions/acquiescing also have to pay for it, so they have reason to fight for limits. In the former, the people giving things do not have to pay.

Captain Dan: BigJake: Will this ruling be overturned instantly, or merely immediately?

I'm leaning towards "presently."

Wisconsin is so backwards that I think it will have been overturned two weeks ago, using Walker's RetroVerse TimeWagon^tm
