Lib judge who issued restraining order for new WI law should have recused herself

This will come as a shock to no one, but we have yet another lib judge legislating from the bench.

And she’s only a Dane county circuit court judge, about a half a step above Judge Judy, and a long time liberal hack wearing a black robe.

Maryann Sumi issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) to prevent the law stopping unions from collecting dues from state workers from being implemented, even though the four circumstances required by Wisconsin law for a judge to issue the TRO were not met.

Sumi is the same liberal hack judge who ruled against the Madison Board of Education, which filed suit against the teachers, who shirked their duties, and, rather than to do their damn jobs, which is to teach the kids in their schools, went to the Capital to join the protests.

For that reason alone, this imbecile Sumi should be impeached, fired, or recalled, or whatever procedure is available to remove this embarrassment from the bench.

Then, numerous news sources reported that this longtime lib hack judge’s son, one Jake Sinderbrand, is a dimocrat political operative who was a former manager with the AFL-CIO and the SEIU State Council in Wisconsin.

Both unions happen to have members who are public-sector employees in Wisconsin.

Oh, and Sinderbrand also runs a company called “Left Field Strategies”, and I doubt it has anything to do with baseball.

So this hack judge’s son worked for the very unions she is attempting to help, and the company he runs now helps these same unions with their political strategies. Can anyone say “conflict of interest”?

I can.

WI Gov. Walker’s “Nuclear Option” to end this lib childishness

If this is true, and I have no reason to doubt its validity, why hasn’t the Governor of Wisconsin, and the GOP majority in the Wisconsin Senate, used it by now, to put an end to this childish dimocrat nonsense?

Then I read this, which pissed me off-

“I would guess (Republican) Senators are trying to figure out what token gesture, maybe a procedural consideration, allows Democrats to save face.”

So here we possibly go, yet again, with Republicans worrying more about playing nice with the libs, so that they can come home without their tails between their legs, than doing what they were elected to do, by the majority of Wisconsin’s residents.

To which I say: Screw the libs!!!

They run off and hide like spoiled children who are upset because they can’t get their way, and the Republicans are supposed to worry about not hurting their “poor wittle feelings”??? W.T.F.?

I am just so damn sick and tired of hearing and reading that insulting crap time after time.

It is especially insulting to the people who gave them a majority to DO WHAT THEY WERE ELECTED TO DO, and not give a damn about how they need to be civil to the libturds, when we’re in charge.

History has proven, time after time, that when the libs are in charge they don’t give a damn about what we want or think. They talk bipartisanship, but to those losers, it means us agreeing with them. See. Obamacare. For. Instance.

This “civility” and “new tone” crap has got to end, until the libs prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that it works both ways!

Gov. Walker can use a little-known but constitutional maneuver to break the impasse over unions’ rights. John Avlon on how Walker can get his way even with Democrats boycotting the vote.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has an un-played ace up his sleeve in the budget fights that have made Madison the focus of a national struggle between fiscal conservatives and public sector unions.

A little-noticed provision in the Wisconsin State Constitution—Article 8, Section 8—allows non-fiscal bills to be passed by a simple majority of state legislators, rather than the 3/5th threshold that drove Democratic state senators to Illinois in hopes of denying the Republican Governor the ability to go forward with collective bargaining reform as part of his proposed budget cut package.

This means that if the collective bargaining were delinked from the budget measures and put forward as a separate bill, it could be passed with 51 percent of the legislators—and without Democrats’ participation.

“In layman’s terms, what Article 8, Section 8 says is that if you don’t have a fiscal bill, then a quorum is a [simple] majority,” Robert Lang, Director of the State of Wisconsin’s Legislative Fiscal Bureau, explained to me. “If the collective bargaining portion were delinked, I believe that could be accomplished.”

“If he [Governor Walker] separated the collective bargaining issues into a stand-alone bill a simple majority would be sufficient for a quorum, which he would have with the Republicans,” added Terry C. Anderson, director of the non-partisan Wisconsin Legislative Council. Anderson cautioned that if any fees or appropriations were included in the collective bargaining provision, they would need to be excised before moving forward with fewer than 20 senators present.

UPDATE-

Wisconsin Senate Democrats found in contempt, ordered taken into custody

MADISON — The Wisconsin Senate has passed a resolution calling for police to take 14 Democrats into custody for contempt after they fled to Illinois to avoid voting on a union rights bill.

The vote taken Thursday comes two weeks after the Democrats left, effectively delaying the vote on Gov. Scott Walker’s proposal taking away most collective bargaining rights from public workers.

Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald says the action is legally different from an arrest, but “definitely a shift from asking them politely.”

The resolution says the absent Democrats are determined to be guilty of contempt and disorderly content. It gives the sergeant at arms the authority to take any and all steps, with or without force and assistance from police, to bring the senators back.

Union Thugs Assault Woman, Call Jewish Republican a “Bad Jew”, Harrass and Berate a Black Man

Here’s a lesson in how not to win hearts and minds, courtesy of some stupid union worker thug. It’s no wonder that most normal Americans have no sympathy for these dolts.

Take a look at the obviously highly intelligent union worker thug in the first video. This is the type of moron that that idiot and his brown-nosing minions at the swamp are defending.

When the union thug sees he’s being by a woman with an Iphone, he shoves her, Tabitha Hale, who is all of 5’1″ and 106 lbs., down to the ground. Hale was filming the heated exchange between a FreedomWorks employee and the union thug, outside the FreedomWorks office, when he got violent. I don’t know know why they didn’t call the police and have the goon arrested. I would have.

Imagine if a Tea Party member were caught on video doing this to an MSM reporter. All the major media outlets would be showing this for the next 3 weeks.

And here’s video of yet another FreedomWorks employee, being called a “Bad Jew”, because he supports freedom, liberty, capitalism, free markets, and all those other radical ideas, by a union moron or sympathizer…

Then, in Denver, a black Republican is harassed by SEIU activists at Denver rally who basically call him a traitor to his race…

And finally, yet another unhinged SEIU supporter follows the black Republican until he is escorted away by police. Of course, he flips off the Tea Party crowd as he leaves. What a loser…He’d fit in perfectly at the swamp…

Lib journalist: Lara Logan rape was “funny”

A couple of weeks ago, we had white “progressives”, you know the type- enlightened, caring, and tolerant, of others with different views, calling for the cutting off of body parts and the lynching of Justice Clarence Thomas, who, as we all know, is black, or that he should be “sent back into the fields to work”, and also saying that Justice Alito should be hanged or “sent back to Sicily”-

Then earlier this week we had yet another compassionate lib call black conservative and possible 2012 GOP Presidential candidate Herman Cain “a black garbage pail kid” who “entertains and perform for their White Conservative masters”, and is “a monkey in the window”.

His rambling, racist statement was mostly incoherent gibberish, as if it was written by a third-grader, which most likely means he’ll soon have his own show on MSNBC.

And as usual, it drew the same response from the civil rights crowd such as the NAALCP, and civil rights activists frauds/shysters such as Je$$e Jack$on and Al $harpton, as it always does when it happens to a black conservative, which is to say none at all.

As we all now know, CBS News correspondent Lara Logan was brutally physically and sexually assaulted this week by a mob of muslim savages shouting “she’s a Jew, a Jew”, while she was covering the events in Egypt last week.

And in yet another show of liberal compassion, Nir Rosen, who has written for Time, Harper’s, The New Yorker, and the New York Times Magazine, referred to Logan as a “warmonger” and said that her being raped was “funny”.

Yeah, he apologized, then made more idiotic and disparaging comments about it, and apologized again, saying this time in his emailed apology that he really truly means it, before resigning from his position at NYU.

And we heard all the women’s rights groups and activists such as the NAG’s (National Association of Gals, as Rush calls them), I mean NOW, condemning both the assault by the muslim savages on Ms. Logan and the absurd remarks by Rosen, right? Wrong. Not a peep from any of them.

But we damn well know that if any of these comments had been made by Tea Party members or any conservative group or well-known person, the libs would be howling about how this proves we’re all racist, sexist, and bigoted homophobes, for days on end, and demanding that someone be fired.

Nir Rosen, U.S. journalist slams CBS’ Lara Logan on Twitter after sexual assault in Egypt, resigns

While the world reels in shock over CBS reporter Lara Logan’s sexual assault in Egypt, another American journalist is causing a different kind of outrage, calling Logan a “warmonger” who was simply trying to outdo Anderson Cooper.

Nir Rosen, an NYU fellow who has extensively covered the Iraq War, made the insensitive remarks during a Twitter rant on Tuesday. He has since resigned from the university’s Center on Law and Security.

“Lara Logan had to outdo Anderson,” Rosen tweeted, referring to the CNN correspondent, who was reportedly punched in the head multiple times while covering the recent demonstrations in Egypt.

Rosen went on, insisting it would be humorous if Anderson too had been sexually assaulted.

“Yes yes it’s wrong what happened to her. Of course. I don’t support that. But it would have been funny if it happened to Anderson too.”

From there, his posts only got worse.

The tweet, “Jesus Christ, at a moment when she is going to become a martyr and glorified we should at least remember her role as a major war monger,” was followed by, “Look, she was probably groped like thousands of other women.”

Last week, Logan, a “60 Minutes” correspondent, endured a “brutal and sustained sexual assault by a mob of men while covering the Egyptian uprising,” CBS News said on Tuesday. She was eventually saved by a group of women and about 20 Egyptian soldiers, the network reported.

The 39-year-old is now back in the U.S. and recovering. Sources told TMZ that Logan plans on going back to work within weeks, describing her as “unbelievably strong.”

Rosen, who has written for a number of prestigious publications, including Time, Harper’s, The New Yorker and the New York Times Magazine, later offered a half-hearted apology, after deleting many of his previous posts.

“Ah f–k it, I apologize for being insensitive, its always wrong, that’s obvious, but I’m rolling my eyes at all the attention she will get.”

Shortly after that, he offered half a dozen sincere condolences on Twitter.

“As someone who’s devoted his career to defending victims and supporting justice, I’m very ashamed for my insensitive and offensive comments,” he wrote, apologizing to Logan’s friends and family.

“I am deeply ashamed because they do not represent who i am, and i would like to convey my most heart felt apologies to Ms. Logan, her family, her friends, all women and too everyone I have hurt, angered and disappointed,” he added in an e-mail.

Rosen resigned from his fellowship from New York University’s Center on Law and Security on Wednesday, according to Karen J. Greenberg, the center’s executive director.
