If I defied a court order from a judge I would be instantly remanded into custody and have to sit in jail (and likely released on a bond).

Open it up and have the Governor thrown in Jail. Hes IS NOT the damn Emperor of Wisconsin.

Republicans are ABOVE THE LAW. :grr:

How can those officers enforce the lockout while cognizant of the fact that they're acting against a court order?

Who do they serve? The law or just one man?

"let the courts enforce their edict" or something like that?

I say let the cops play palace guard. For a week.

That's a lot of nails in Governor Walker's political coffin.

Of course, Jackson's deliberate refusal to enforce the judgement led ultimately to the shame that was the Trail of Tears and the Cherokee's belief that Jackson was the worst President this country has ever had. I'm inclined to agree with the Cherokee.

The fact that he is lauded as some kind of paragon of public virtue is nauseating.

that ruling on weather capital was being open as ordered should come tomorow as witnesses apeared before judge today and tomorow with lautenslager presenting case to order capital to be open in compliance with judges order.

we be allowed back into their building.

Welcome to DU!

When nixon barb wired protesters and supreame court intervened and said no! you cant do that! perhaps if the governor refuses this court order the supreame court of wisconsin may need to intervene

They should have all told that judge that the Governor was defying his order to let the people in.

And I believe he's going to the courthouse to give a statement about his experience in trying to get in. On his way to the entrance, he was stopped by state police, who told the former U.S. congressman he would have to get in line. Congressman's meeting had begun while he was standing outside.

I believe Walker is going to have to answer for his defiance of the court order.

hasn't had the police arrest Walker for ignoring the court order. And I'm beginning to love Obey who is standing up for our rights like politicians we elect are supposed to do!

Their job is to legislate for the people of Wisconsin - not two assholes in Kansas. Their holding out in Rockford, or wherever, is the only thing keeping Hosni Walker and his gang of operatives from cramming through some really nasty laws against Wisconsinites.

well as the Democrats from Indiana, where I live, who also are in Illinois, too.

Just now heard it on The Ed Show.

It should happen NOW!

I feel it is the Superintendent that is defying the court order. Why do we not hear more about the Fitzgerald cabal? Too much political and police powers are held by that family. Scott, Jeff and Stephen Fitzgerald are drink deep of the taxpayer monies while they want to fleece other public employees. Time for the Fitzgerald family to do what they advocate for other Wisconsinites, get a job and quit living off the taxpayer. Oh, I forgot, they are important making a vital contribution, police, firefighters, nurses and teachers are parasites.

Do I need the sarcasm simile?

PS. Hey Fitzgerald, following the Governor's directive rather than the law is not a valid defense.

I posted this yesterday at Dailykos in response to a post about a group of protesters who were admitted to the Governor's speech. I think it bears repeating here.


Frankly I think Scott Walker is a godsend. He's a vaccine against fascism. A weakened strain of the virus to build the body's immune system.

To serve his own ambitions he's picked the wrong fight, with the wrong people in the wrong place. And he has finally done what I had begun to think could not be done. He has woken up the real silent majority in America and brought them to their feet.

All of his maneuvering to create this 'crisis' is completely transparent. He's clearly lying about, well, everything. And everyone knows it. The propaganda machine at Fox and elsewhere has the impossible task of painting some of the nicest, most polite and well behaved people on earth as unruly thugs and radicals. Good luck with that. While the mainstream media forces itself to ignore one of the biggest stories in 50 years (juxtaposed to their slavish promotion of the astroturf tea party movement) clearly exposing their corporate servitude and lack of any credibility as an unbiased news source.

And the prank phone call. What a moment! The Koch brothers as the great and powerful OZ now exposed for everyone to see.

This is a catastrophic train wreck for the GOP playing out in excruciatingly slow motion so everyone can see every horrific detail.

Now this piece of of strong arm, Soviet era like theater, marching in the disoriented and uninformed opposition as props to sit in silence while the good citizens cheer for dear leader. You couldn't ask for a more discussing display.

Rock on Scott Walker. You are a magnificent turd.

Thanks for the thread, kas.
