Walker's Certainty On Winning Voter ID Appeal Rings A Bell

In a recent op-ed under his own name, Scott Walker sure took in stride the first of two injunctions issued last week against the Voter ID bill.

While a vocal minority may disagree with our common-sense policy position, that doesn't change the fact that the temporary injunction issued by the Dane County Circuit Court will be overturned by a higher court, and ultimately the voter ID law will be upheld.

I'd mentioned his op-ed, but gave it short shrift, especially now that a second judge issued a permanent injunction against the law, on Constitutional grounds.

I'm not saying there's been collusion between the executive branch and the courts, and maybe Walker was just acknowledging the Prosser/Roggensack/Ziegler/Gableman State Supreme Court pro-Walker-and-GOP majority and slant - - but in these days of secret agreements and closed-door legislating around the State Capitol on redistricting and mining, who's to say for sure?

For the record, inappropriate communications have happened on an even bigger stage elsewhere. (See Abe Fortas/LBJ story there.)
