So... what the hell is Walker doing...
I assume they passed the legislation legally... but perhaps this 24 hour public notice thing was bypassed. Maybe they have standing in arguing that the judicial branch doesn't have the right to get involved in the legislature's rules... there is precedence there... but what the fuk is he thinking ignoring a court order?
publishing the law anyway (even if it was legally published) was basically ignoring the pretty clear intention of the judge and got him what? Nothing. The judge just upgraded her order and now he looks like a real douche...
The only thing I can come up with is he's hoping that once the union members stop paying dues (and start getting bigger paychecks) he'll turn their sentiments...
whatever it is, I don't get it and I don't agree. i understand coequal branches of govenrment and the fact that the judiciary really can't do anything unless a case is brought ot them and then the executive branch enforces their order... but I don't like where this is going. I didn't like it when Obama ignored the judge on the ACA injunction or defense of DOMA, I don't like it here either.
Am I missing something?
