Here it is constant reader. While there are many balls in the air here, the truth of the matter is simple. The fact of a quantifiable, possibly illegal action borne of an illegally held meeting (relative to open meeting laws) has led to an indefinite delay!
Complicating the matter for the GOP hucksters is the fact (read the stuff above from WisPo) that the four GOP Senators named in the TRO all held onto their immunity right, and refused to appear. Had they waived their right like Barca this thing could have been ruled on TODAY, and it could have waltzed its way into a higher court. Once again, the petty tactics and desire to trick an manipulate process and people has led to a greater potential for their undoing.
Ain't Karma GREAT?
Essentially, if I understand this correctly, at a MINIMUM, Sumi won't be able to put together another hearing until 5/23...probably longer. In the meantime, we have at least two other hearings upcoming: one a collective suit by the unions challenging the constitutionality of Act 10 and another hearing/suit regarding over whether it is a fiscal bill or not. Also, we have the potential to seat a POSSIBLY friendly SC Justice AND growing unpopularity of the GOP. Between all these factors, even IF the GOP could put together a new bill and do it by the book, I seriously doubt that they would have the votes anymore.
Again.... Ain't Karma GREAT?
