I think these judges on Obamacare are tied at the moment.

More to the point, the ACA is a federal law, which means ultimately it needs to be decided by the Supreme Court. A district court could pass an injunction, but it would have no force outside that district, which for a federal law is not a common practice.

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. Oh, no, they're not! First of all, there's nothing to stop the Democrats from doing exactly what they did before. If this move was illegal, then any future move to do the same thing would be, too. Second, there's the recall petition. Third, there's next year's election. And fourth -- although I'm sure it won't come to that -- there's revolution.

It's not anywhere near over. Until this effort to kill organized labor is beaten -- or, if necessary, overturned -- it won't be over.
