(1,015 posts)U.S. District Judge William Conley in Madison blocked two parts of the Walker administration's restrictions on demonstrations as unconstitutional, giving a partial victory to the protesters. But Conley left much of the remaining rules in place, including those requiring permits for larger events.
In a 47-page opinion on his preliminary injunction, Conley blocked the administration from requiring a permit for events in the Statehouse rotunda of 20 people or fewer but left the permit requirement in place for indoor events as large as Wednesday's singalong.
A trial is scheduled for the week of Jan. 13, after which Conley will make a final decision on whether to grant protesters a permanent injunction.

Among all the myriad reports on the Wisconsin economy, few present as rosy a picture as the "Rich States, Poor States" study by a supply-side proponent who shot to fame during the Reagan years.
Arthur Laffer, the 73-year-old author of the famous "Laffer curve," concluded in his 128-page report that Wisconsin's economic outlook had jumped from 32nd in the country to 15th in the past year. In an interview this week, the conservative economist attributed the improvement to Gov. Scott Walker's legislation targeting unions.
"We find a very strong relationship between right to work and economic performance of states," Laffer said Monday. "Wisconsin did not do right to work, but they came so damn close it's literally right to work that you've got."
The annual report is published and distributed by the American Legislative Exchange Council, a corporate-backed group that drafts model legislation for state lawmakers. But it wasn't clear who exactly was footing the bill.
Now we know.

(7,865 posts)In Minnesota Democrats controlled the governor and the legislature.
In Wisconsin the Republicans did.
One state is recovering and starting to thrive while the other state is imploding.
Conservatism and supply side economics is a great failure.
