More Details from the Associated Press: MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A Wisconsin judge has ruled the state's explosive new collective bargaining law is not in effect.

Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi issued a restraining order earlier this month preventing the secretary of state from publishing the law, typically the last step before it takes effect. Republicans pushing the bill convinced another state office to publish it and declared the law was in effect.

Sumi issued a declaration on Thursday morning saying the law wasn't properly published and isn't in effect.

CONTEMPT. OF. COURT.

Come on out and say it at last.

throw his uppity ass in jail...

"Show me what contempt of court looks like!"

"This is what contempt of court looks like!"

She will be taking more testimony on it tomorrow

the law will not stand. But yes they will continue the debate.

That stays the bill but does not throw it out. And if the judge lifts the order, the bill will go forward and as of yesterday, while she said she will hear more testimony she also was of the opinion that the case against the bill hadn't been made yet.
