Read the TRO. Sumi enjoined against further implementation of the act. Not just publication of it.

Here's the TRO: (It's a PDF) http://tinyurl.com/4avunsu
From the last page.

"I do, therefore, restrain and enjoin the further implementation of 2011 Wisconsin Act 10."

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like plain English to me. Judge Sumi restrained and enjoined further implementation. The next part appears to be there simply to underline and make clear that they are to proceed no further in the process of implementation.

In any case, there will be a hearing tomorrow, March 29, at which time there may be a preliminary injunction.

The Secretary of State. The question is did the TRO refer to just him or anybody else publishing it?

publication of a law as I explained to you in another thread. Should the Judge have enjoined the Thorp Courier, the Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter and the Greendale Village Life from publishing the Act? Jesus.

On edit, I have no idea whether the Thorp Courier still exists. I remember a front page article "Local Ewe Gives Birth to Quadruplets."

This is yet to be decided. The TRO specifically mentions the Secretary of State and nobody else. Only a fool pretends to believe that things are only what they want them to be.

Is my explanation to you good enough for you? Buddha.

and marched on the Capitol many times back in the day. It's this simple, if the Repukes maintain a 4-3 majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, they will find a way to say that since the TRO failed to name the Legislative Reference Bureau, each employee at the Legislative Reference Bureau by their full name including middle initial and Ms., Mr. or Mrs., the Wisconsin State Urinal and the companies who supplied the ink and paper it prints with, the TRO was defective. That is NOT law-it is naked politics, see Bush v. Gore.

The TRO restrains two things.

The first one is the important one: "I do, therefore, restrain and enjoin the further implementation of 2011 Wisconsin Act 10."

She restrained implementation of the act. It doesn't matter who published what in what rag. She restrained implementation of the act. Therefore if they make any changes in the paychecks or implement the law in any other way they are violating the restraining order.

The question of whether or not it's been properly published is a smokescreen. It's FUD.

was their way around the TRO.

sycophants with law degrees, usually from fourth tier law schools.

have they?

against their own self-interest with the help of churches, the NRA and Fox News.

at least over some discrete period of time. Meanwhile they committed heinous acts.

What's your point?

ANd can these guys be held in contempt of court?

"I do, therefore, restrain and enjoin the further implementation of 2011 Wisconsin Act 10.
The next step in implementation of that law would be the publication of that law by the Secretary of
State. He is restrained and enjoined from such publication until further order of this court."

Why is the State cherry-picking not only the judge's order, but even a single paragraph of the order. They want to rely on the second and third sentences of that paragraph, but not the first? :shrug:

to yah, a'na so?

I hope you and your lovely wife #^*%()%^$(*)&$*)(*()*%(@#$%^&)(%$ :evilgrin:

edited to add, ...and the horse you rode in on!

But that doesn't mean I want my State ^*(^^^%$#%^&&*^^%#)(&%# me! :hi:

turn it in April 15th if I still felt the same way. I never had a job where it was so &%&^#%@$!%&* hard to quit.

Sounds like a job you need to keep, not quit! :pals:

They don't want anyone to notice the first.

the state with access to a newspaper in the TRO is exactly the line the Pukes want people to believe. This type of bullshit started with the back-dated military votes in Florida in 2000 and worked, so they have been using utter horseshit and bluster ever since. Some people still believe that Iraq was involved in 9/11.

It's FUD. [F]ear, [U]ncertainty, [D]oubt. FUD and confusion. Misdirection. Get people concentrating on the wrong thing. Ignore the first and most important part of the TRO and get the public arguing about the publication.

nothing to see here. Karl Rove's playbook. "Somebody bugged my office." ".22 rimfire rounds on the Capitol Grounds!!!!!" I bet if the pockets of all the winter jackets and coats in Wisconsin were turned inside out, you'd find hundreds of .22 rounds, shotgun shells and various rifle rounds left over from whenever.

but for some reason they never actually used them. I wonder why? :shrug:

Maybe because they dropped them? All over place? All around the building? Where people would be sure to find them? Yea, that must be why.

:sarcasm: (Is this sarcasm thingy really required?)

My thought was someone dislodged them pulling out their gloves or something (or that they were a plant) but if they were a plant I thought they'd have used AK-47 rounds for the drama/terrorist/islamic/commie aspect.

I thought that I'd heard that they found them in several different places around the building, but that may have been intentional exaggeration. My first thought was that they were planted, but you may be right that they were dropped accidentally. But however they got there, I'm convinced that the Republicans tried to use it to paint the union people as scary thugs with bullets.

Hell, how do we even know they really found anything? They lie about everything else ($7,000,000.00 damage from tape...) so why not this?

folks who were protesting as scary folks with dangerous wheelchairs full of James Bond gadgets.

There's going to be a hearing on the request for a preliminary injunction tomorrow.

a piss into the wind. Let 'em. :7 I say it's not legitimate law. hmmmmmf.

Madison -- A Dane County judge said Tuesday she is concerned the Department of Justice has a conflict in representing Secretary of State Doug La Follette and must provide him with independent counsel.

“There is so great a divergence now between the position that the attorney general is taking in this court and the court of appeals and now the Supreme Court and the interests of the secretary of state and the office of the secretary of state that I believe Mr. La Follette is entitled to independent counsel at the expense of the state,” said Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi.

The issue arose after La Follette grew frustrated that his attorneys were not asking questions of a witness.

“My attorney won’t ask a question on my behalf,” La Follette told the court.

More specifically, the issue is that La Follette and the Department of Justice attorneys disagree over the power of the secretary of state.

(AP) -- A Wisconsin judge has ruled that there should be no further implementation of a law taking away nearly all collective bargaining rights for public workers.

Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi said Tuesday that her earlier restraining order saying the law shouldn't be enacted had either been ignored or misinterpreted.

VIA TWITTER

Sumi is clear: ALL further action of Act 10 is enjoined. Court is adjourned.
@ACLUMadison: Sumi chastises anyone acting in "willful defiance" of a TRO. Could face punishments. Further implementation of Act 10 is enjoined.


@ACLUMadison: Sumi says she dismayed that even with simple fix for this conflict (open mtgs issue), parties are pursuing litigation at taxpayers' expense

I've been wondering what happened today but I haven't had time to track it down.

This ruling was what I expected. Notice that, at least according to the article, she characterized her earlier order as saying that the law shouldn't be enacted - notice that there is no mention of the word "published".

I was following twitter since I couldnt go to the courthouse today. I wish I could remember what the concern was over the word - was it to de-legitimize their act of "publishing" it?

...yesterday and I've been salivating for news.

We have to stop these thieves.
