http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/walker-we-are-confident-collective-bargaining-law-willGov. Scott Walker blasted a Dane County judge's ruling Friday, striking down Walker's 2011 law rolling back most collective bargaining for public employees.
"The people of Wisconsin clearly spoke on June 5th. Now, they are ready to move on," Walker said in a statement, referring to the recall election that Democrats launched against him, and which he ultimately won. "Sadly a liberal activist judge in Dane County wants to go backwards and take away the law making responsibilities of the legislature and the governor. We are confident that the state will ultimately prevail in the appeals process."
Previously in 2011, another Dane County judge had struck down the law on procedural grounds, relating to the committee process used to pass it. However, this was then reversed on appeal by a 4-3 vote of the state Supreme Court, which holds a narrow conservative majority.

and that asshole actually choked another judge in front of everyone and got away with it, after forcing the other judges to recuse themselves because they witnessed the event.
WE are living in bizzaro world.
