Collective Bargaining Legal Drama To Play Out In Wisconsin

You say life has got you down?  Nothing makes you smile anymore, bunkie?  The world is just hum-drum?

Well, think again as a big legal drama is about to unfold that will take Wisconsin into uncharted waters!

The main stage for the legal drama will be in Madison, Wisconsin.  However playbills (newspapers) will carry the show to you daily. 

Do not despair that the snow in Northern Wisconsin is higher than the seat on your picnic table.  Look out your window and just smirk at the snow.  Who needs the outdoors when all the action is ins a courtroom?

Oh, and when you are finished watching the drama please tip the one who made the show possible.

Governor Scott Waller.

(And by tip I mean a swift tip with your shoe into his backside.)

Late Friday, Ozanne sought a new temporary restraining order in the case, but Duty Judge Sarah O’Brien declined to set a hearing, noting one was already scheduled for Tuesday.

Ozanne issued a statement saying that he had been surprised by the publication and by the fact that it was sought by a “named defendant in the lawsuit,” a reference to Fitzgerald.

Ozanne said the action by the reference bureau had no significance and “should be resolved in a court of law.”

Howard Schweber, a professor of political science and legal studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said Friday’s actions amounted to “entirely uncharted waters.”

He said that the action Friday didn’t remove the possibility that the Supreme Court could take up the question of the restraining order against La Follette. He questioned how the justices would react to a publication step being taken before they had made any decision.

“No matter what happens next, it’s going to be one heck of a show,” he said.
