[babsbunny]

[Drale]

3. O please please please let him ignore the order

He needs to be taken out of public for a little while.

[Modern_Matthew]

27. My hope as well. nt

[JDPriestly]

60. I would guess that it will depend on how many show up to demonstrate

after work this evening.

The real work is in the recall campaigns.

[bjobotts]

71. Yeah, Like that would ever happen.Wealthy are above the law.Wall street proved that already

[snappyturtle]

4. Super!

:applause:

[annabanana]

5. WELL then. . .kick kick. . . . . . . . .n/t

[Tx4obama]

6. Wrong.

The Judge said the DoA had until March 8th to comply to his order.
-----------

From http://twitter.com/ACLUMadison

ACLUMadison: Judge says DOA must return to open Capitol in next 48 hours (or by March 8) and that means as open as it was in January.

[lonestarnot]

12. Until next Tuesday, but then also on another thread said protesters have to vacate?

:shrug:

[Tx4obama]

13. Correct. The Judge said there can't be any overnight sleeping in the Capitol by the protesters

All protesters have to vacate the building each day at the normal closing time.

[lonestarnot]

14. Oh, I took as vacate period not just at normal closing time. Thanks for updating.

[Tx4obama]

15. Here's a link to an article that explains

Judge orders Capitol restrictions lifted, but bars overnight stays

[Major Hogwash]

21. Because those "slobs" were "stinking up the capitol building", huh?

I don't know which Republican state Senator from Wisconsin said that, but he ought to have his sewer pipes back up in his house in the middle of the night for saying it!
And then let him try to get a union plumber to go to his house at 2 AM!!

[Tx4obama]

22. Republican state senator Glenn Grothman. n/t

[Major Hogwash]

30. My uncle was a union plumber and let me tell ya, shit backing up at 2 AM in your house is

no fucking joke.
Nobody wants to answer that service call.

LoL

[wryter2000]

55. I saw that nasty, old sob

He's one of the ones the good folks of Wisconsin are going to recall.

[cui bono]

31. He also said that the people staying overnight were college students having a party.

That and the unemployed looking for a place to hang out.

No kidding.

[Hannah Bell]

33. the judge said that?

[Buns_of_Fire]

49. No, Grothman.

Dripping with class, he is. On O'Donnell, it was like he was going out of his way to insult and belittle people. "Asshat" is two steps above his grade.

[FJeff]

66. Contemptible slob

52. Slob Grotham. nt

[Matariki]

25. You'd think so from the way the news is framing it.

The judge's ruling was in the plaintiff's (the protestors) favor - but all the headlines read "Judge orders activists to vacate Wisconsin capitol"

:eyes:

The transcript of the Judge's ruling is great actually - commends the protesters and the police and quote:

Those people were exercising important, unique, constitutional right. There should be no disrespect toward demonstrators.
Says the word "demonstrators" should not be used with contempt. People wanting access were law abiding, hard working people.

[one_voice]

7. Kick

18. Thanks for the information You are now an honorary " furoma-ju kashira".`

I'm sure I just butchered that translation.


merushi-

[AsahinaKimi]

46. Cheese head? hehehe

In this case perhaps.. (but In real life I love the 49ers.. and the Raiders!)

[opihimoimoi]

19. 74 chkng in.....The Fool is worse than Hitler......at least Adolf had some Class

[Zanzoobar]

20. You win the internet.

Congratulations for invoking Hitler. You win and cannot be defeated. It's a rule.

[tavalon]

34. No, actually, Godwin's Law has been invoked and the discussion is over.

The internets stay in the hands of the masses which is extra great for you - as you can now look up Godwin's Law!

[Enthusiast]

68. Godwin's law has been permanently revoked

because of the preponderance of actual U.S. Nazis under the guise of the modern day Republican/Teabagger.

[coalition_unwilling]

26. WTF? You cannot be serious. Hitler was notoriously declasse and. as just one example,

had a serious problem with flatulence in public settings. He offended the sensibilities of one upperclass German Junker woman with a fart he laid at a state function, so much that she exclaimed about it at the time. I can't track down the source right now but it exists in one of the legit biographies of Hitler or histories of the Third Reich, if memory serves.

As bad as Walker indisputably is, he is not as bad as Hitler. At least not yet.

[Hardrada]

37. But he was a terrific dancer!

[AsahinaKimi]

47. Please don't tell me Walker is going on

Dancing with the Stars.. (groannnnnnnnn)... Isn't that a requirement put out by FOX NEWS?

[Hardrada]

72. No, I am quoting the Kenneth Mars character in "The Producers."

But if he were around I'm sure Fox would be glad to have both Hitler and Walker DWTS and interview then afterwards. It's all about ratings!!

[ejpoeta]

77. no, first he has to be recalled silly. then maybe write a book about

how he was railroaded by the mean unions. THEN he will be on dancing with the stars.

[opihimoimoi]

40. The Delusion factor is about the same.....So far Walker shows no signs of being different

He is an arrogant BULLY...same as Hitler

[coalition_unwilling]

58. Yeah, I agree with you on that 100%. Scratch Walker's shiny, brittle

exterior and underneath you'll find the makings of a Hitler. Just don't think Walker's there quite yet.

[Rozlee]

74. Walker a potential Hitler?

Meh. A stretch. Now, the guys he takes his marching orders from, the KKKoch brothers, are another matter altogether. Those guys are applying a scorched earth policy to the working class in order to achieve their agenda in transferring more wealth from them to their own already overflowing coffers. Would they ever put babies in ovens to get their way? They're already lobbying politicians to cut programs like Medicaid that lowered child mortality rates by 20% within the first two years of it's inception and other aid for poor children. Seven degrees of Kevin Bacon to me can be split into a new category of two degrees of Hitler.

[Tx4obama]

23. UPDATE

MADISON, Wis. — About 50 pro-union protesters peacefully left the state Capitol late Thursday after a judge ruled they could no longer spend the night to show their opposition to Gov. Scott Walker's proposal to eliminate nearly all collective bargaining rights for public workers.

The judge also ruled the state had violated the public's free speech and assembly rights by restricting access to the building.

The protesters demanded to see a written copy of the order before they would go. University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Chief Susan Riseling read the order to the crowd, eliciting cheers when she read the judge's determination that the state had unconstitutionally restricted access to the building.

"We won this battle," said former Attorney General Peggy Lautenschlager, who represented unions that had challenged the state's decision to limit building access. But she also told the demonstrators they needed to leave.

[lonestarnot]

41. Excellent!

:woohoo:

[teacher gal]

24. YAY! nt

[Greybnk48]

28. I was in Madison today joining the protest.

It was a sickening feeling being locked out of the Capital with a ring of cops around the building. I was having 60's flashbacks and feeling lots of anger. We were there shouting and talking for four hours (it was really cold until the crowds showed up and we kept each other warm).

After people got off of work this evening, the crowd grew immensely. We all (about 1500 of us) walked down to the far end of State Street and formed/joined a scheduled New Orleans style funeral parade with musicians, umbrellas and costumes. The crowd had surged to 10,000 by 5 p.m. when the parade started. We marched back up State Street and around the Capital twice, mourning the death of collective bargaining, workers rights, our right to enter our own Capital, etc., complete with pall bearers and caskets! Shortly after we congregated out front for another rally. We were told they were removing the protesters from inside and we would be permitted to enter the building again at 8 a.m. tomorrow. We'll see.

Not one word about this huge parade on our 10 o'clock news, nothing.

I'm glad we made it today. We also ate at Ians Pizza on State and thanked them for all they've done. Bought some t-shirts too! They're expecting a huge crowd in Madison this week-end. I think we'll stick to going during the week--the parking is better.

[Hannah Bell]

35. wow - all i read about was 2000 people. i was a little discouraged. thanks

for the news not covered.

[Greybnk48]

43. It was that many or less all day. Then at 5 p.m

the you know what hit the fan! We assumed it was because people were home from work. It truly was like an explosion. Tons of Firefighters, Nurses and Teachers groups and just regular people (older couples, moms or grandparents with kids) joining in.

[Paradoxical]

29. If someone pays for my plane ticket, I will fly to Wisconsin...

And slap Scott Walker in the face with a copy of the court paper work.

[tavalon]

36. And who gets tapped for your bail?

[Paradoxical]

38. Skinner.

[Hannah Bell]

32. i keep reading it's not tomorrow, but monday? the link gives me "offline"

[StarsInHerHair]

39. K&R up to 87

nt

[TBF]

42. lol - that will serve the asshole right ... nt

[AllyCat]

44. Can't he be held for not letting the reps into their offices too?

I think I'd like to go up there now today before work to have a chat.

[reformist2]

48. Can he be arrested? Maybe Walker will have to flee the state!

[Blue Owl]

51. C'mon Scottie -- show us how tough you are

You should believe in your ideals so strongly you'd go to jail for them.

[Vidar]

53. K&R.

[jwirr]

54. That is good news. It does occur to me that one of the reasons people

in the US do not act out their anger so easily is that we still believe that the courts will do something to fix the situation. When that trust is betrayed THEN the people will act. The teachers are leading the way with peaceful demonstrations.

[DeSwiss]

56. Arrest his ASS!!!!

- That would be perfect!

K&R

[katty]

57. good news

[Corruption Winz]

59. If I ever wished a Republican would act like a Republican....

And just do whatever the hell he wanted to do, this is the me. Please, for the love of all things great in this country, don't worry about the court order, Walker. You're a gun-toting, fire-breathing, baby-saving, prisoner-abusing, gay-bashing Republican.

Forget what this liberal pansy judge says. Do it!

[forty6]

61. Oh to see a newly elected governor in jail for comtempt

Perfect justice!

[Corruption Winz]

75. Hey, republicans have been jamming into the...

asses of the disenfranchised for quite a while. This only seems fair that in jail, he lets them take a turn.

[femrap]

62. k and r

put scotty in jail...dress him in orange. He makes monkeys look extremely intelligent.

[upi402]

63. Holy marching frogs Batman!

:evilgrin:

[pam4water]

64. He is damn contemptible. K&R

[defendandprotect]

65. They keep claiming it's 'open' -- they're letting people in one by one --

Would love to see Walker arrested!!

[Duval]

67. Bet he doesn't do it, darn it all! n/t

[democrank]

69. Kicking for the protesters

[AsahinaKimi]

HOLY COW!!!

I never made IT to the greatest post before.. LISTEN.. CAN we NOW MAKE THIS VIDEO THE GREATEST ??

[AsahinaKimi]

70. See above posting

CAN WE? Can we???

[LiberalFighter]

73. The judge should also issue an order to law enforcement in all 72 counties

not to provide any security at the capitol. Or they will be in contempt and subject to arrest.

[Grateful for Hope]

76. Excellent. K&R!

[kentuck]

78. kick

and rec.
