retiredfed: I guess you are not quite as astute as I thought you were.

janesvillefirst - I find your 6:07 post mostly name calling with little if any facts. You proved my point be referencing that post. Petty and Immature at best.

retiredfed; Wingnut was used as a descriptor, not a comparison to another person (and in particular, one of the most evil persons that has ever lived, Hitler). But, if you like, skip over the one word and you have a very fact filled post at 6:07a.

janesvillefirst - you are making a distinction without a difference. Name calling from either side is immature. The comment section would be more constructive if people stuck to fact based argument rather than name calling and repetition of either sides talking points.

I am sure I could come up with a lot of names that people have been calling union members and democrats over the past few weeks, as well. What is your point? Obviously Walker has made some decisions that have had some consequences, just like the dems have. grandys-when teachers hold contract negotiations, the school board members represent the public. That is why you elected them.

@Zuessmom; Sorry, Hitler was a wingnut (among many other things) but wingnuts are not all Hitlers. Comparing the Governor to Hilter is lame, you must admit and certainly not in the same name calling category as wingnut.

JaNeSViLLeFiRSt - lol, comedy at its best.

janesvillefirst: wingnuts isn't derogatory? Grow up! I have found more Walker backers with name calling since the beginning of this thing. Look at the rulebook (constitution) and tell me who's right or wrong.

@yada: Here we go with the Hitler thing again. As you sound like quite a hateful person and unable to come up with only one hateful comparison, let me help. I've been collecting some hateful names from hateful posts over the last few weeks. Here you go, feel free to use any and all.

Koch, liars, @#$%, fat cats, tax breaks, repugs, Snotty Scotty, King Walker, Hitler, Mubarak, *&%#!,
pig-headed fool, Scooter, a pack of rabid dogs, my Governor is a Retread, dictator, Tea Party Kool-Aid,
scott walker is a koch ####, this piece of ####, rascal Walker, Greedy Wall Street brokers, Nazi,
Rethuglicans, Tbags, cronies, little dubya, King Adolf, Halliburton or Blackwater

WALKER is the problem! He is telling us that God is telling him what to do("I feel his guidance") He has stated that God has told him who to marry,the jobs he should take, and is leading his political direction. His mind is made up and he will not change - even if he is wrong on anything. I believe in God, but am concerned about the voices that are driving his decision making. Did God tell him to consider putting troublemakers in with peaceful protesters? A historical quote to think about: "Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance of the will of the almighty creator. I am fighting for the work of the lord." A quote from Adolph Hitler who also had a church upbringing. We need to keep a watchful eye on the Religious Right and what they are doing in the U.S. Many of their ideas are radical and are being supported by some that don"t quite understand the full impact it will have on society and the worker. It would be worthwhile for readers to research Dominionism and the Christian Right movement.

I think it is just another stall tactic to allow local govts and school districts to extend contracts to public unions before the bill can become law. They know it was a special session that doesn't require the 24 hours but want to buy some more time for their union financial backers.

A slight correction to my post below; I should have said Judge Sumi will likely issue an injunction rather than restraining order.

Another in the long line of impedements to democracy. If you haven't noticed, all of these efforts are led by the extreme left Madison wingnuts. First, Sen Mark Miller with the Motel 6 fourteen, then Dane Co. legislators Pocan, Hebl, Hulsey, et al driveling on about little during the debate in the Assembly, now, Sec. of State Laugh-a-lot, waiting the full ten days to publish the bill, Dane Co. Executive (lawsuit), Madison Mayor Cheez Whiz (lawsuit), Dane Co. DA (lawsuit). Today, expect Judge Sumi to okay a restraining order.

CAN WE MOVE THE CAPITOL BACK TO BELMONT!

Another union attorney getting fat.

The word "Politics" is made up from "poly" meaning many in Latin & "tics", blood sucking creatures ....sounds about correct !!!

I would be willing to bet the 'lawsuit' was filed by someone who is not in agreement with the bill. All of this is simply a series of vollies back and forth. I would be surpised if any of the steps taken by the majority during any of the senate or assembly, is actually found to be in violation of the procedurs as it pertains to the chambers or the public. These people thought this out for a few weeks.

Remember, none of this would have happened if the proper due forum was in full session in the first place. I would have to say that, like any court, the absence of senate democrats would constitute a reasonable excuse to the above listed complaint. After all what are the participating members of the chamber supposed to do? But with the question of the bill being changed so it can be passed vs. the new standard(s) not being met with the change, how can anyone make a determination without being biased? It will come down to what party line the individual supports, when making the decisions about the lawfullness of this bill-signing. If it even gets that far. I think it will stand as is.

I wish government was more transparent.

WE heard that before..lets see what the judge says.

Sure he is....

Quote: "A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, a Juneau Republican, says Fitzgerald is completely confident the law was followed."

ROFLMAO!
