Flavor Of Madison Court Hearing On Walker Bill Live-Tweeted
The ACLU Madison had been live-Tweeting the proceedings Tuesday in Dane County Circuit Court Judge Maryann Sumi's courtroom as she decided at the end of the day to extend the temporary restraining order she had laid down March 18th against the implementation of the Walker union-busting bill.
State Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, (R-Juneau), pressured the Legislative Reference Bureau to publish the law last Friday, and though Fitzgerald and Gov. Walker are treating the law implemented, Sumi's order says otherwise.
Here are the final Tweeted entries undedited to give you a flavor of how it ended today, Tuesday.
Will continue at 8:30am Friday. Will try to live-tweet if possible, but Friday is packed. Will defer to other rockstar tweeters. Stay tuned!

Sumi chastises anyone acting in "willful defiance" of a TRO. Could face punishments. Further implementation of Act 10 is enjoined.

Sumi says she dismayed that even with simple fix for this conflict (open mtgs issue), parties are pursuing litigation at taxpayers' expense.

Sumi: language on stopping publication was either misunderstood or ignored, further implementation of Act 10 is enjoined for now.
