Has everyone heard that upon the filing of a lawsuit that the law in Wisconsin recently passed may not have been passed legally. The judge issued an injunction preventing the law from taking effect upon the mere filing of the lawsuit. The law was not found to be passed illegally by the judge as the proceedings have not yet occurred.

Now, contrast that to Obamacare. A judge DID issue a final ruling that it IS unconstitutional (not merely in violation of technicality of legislative procedure) and gave 7 days for the administration to stop enforcing the vacated law. The Obama administration is ignoring the ruling and continuing to implement Obamacare.

I think these judges on Obamacare are tied at the moment. If it's a democrat judge--Obamacare is legal--if it's a republican judge it's not. I wish they would just get it up to the US supremes and have it done with.

However--in Wisconsin--from what I understand this judge overstepped her authority in making this decision. Again legislating from the bench. The law in Wisconsin as written by the legislature never called for a 24-hour notice prior to a hearing?

Lawmakers are going to appeal her decision tomorrow. Regardless--democrats are back in session and republicans can easily pass this bill now. It's really a no win situation for the public workers union in Wisconsin.

IOW--they're done.
