Breaking per Maddow blog: "Judge strikes #Wisconsin union-stripping law"

[slay]

"This just in from AP:

Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi ruled Thursday that Republican legislators violated Wisconsin's open meetings law during the run up to passage. She says that renders the law void.

Which means that, at least for today, State Representative Peter Barca was right. The State Supreme Court will hold arguments on June 6 to decide whether it takes up the case. At issue here is not the contents of the law as the way it was jammed through as hastily rewritten bill in a hastily convened committee. Wisconsin Republican lawmakers could try to pass the bill again, this time with more advance notice. Whether they'd want to do that as six Republican senators face recall votes and a new poll says the public wants the Democrats to be in charge is another question."
