Madison - Dane County Circuit Court Judge Amy Smith on Friday denied a Dane County request to grant a temporary restraining order that would have blocked Gov. Scott Walker's collective-bargaining bill.
Walker signed that measure Friday morning. The measure officially becomes law after it is published by the secretary of state.
Smith ruled that Dane County did not meet the standard for a temporary restraining order, which calls for the plaintiff to show there would be irreparable harm if the bill is published and becomes law.
"The court is not satisfied that irreparable harm will result," Smith said.
Smith, however, ordered the county and the state to come back to court on March 16.

5. Amy Smith will need to resign because she did not follow the law correctly

It *does* meet the standard and Amy Smith is just too fucking lazy to do the job right.

It'll be appealed and an permanent injunction will be issued and a slap on the face of Ms. Smith's stupidity

P.S., it needs to be done NOW, not March 16th.

Ms Smith needs to reverse herself, ASAP.

6. Not to that Republican judge there isn't irreparable harm but to teachers and others

there very well could be. When you are paid thirty thousand a year and suddenly another three thousand is taken right off the top, I would call that harm and in fact irreparable harm since there is nothing to mitigate it..

7. +1

8. But the unions agreed to the concessions anyway...

"When you are paid thirty thousand a year and suddenly another three thousand is taken right off the top, I would call that harm and in fact irreparable harm since there is nothing to mitigate it.."

Public employees were going to have to pay a lot more no matter what. The Democrats and unions had already conceded that and agreed to Walker's demands in that area.

9. No harm

to the gopers pocket books, yet. Boycott these assholes. Heil Walker and cronies are mobster, ie leaning towards nazism.

14. That was not in the bill.

The irreparable harm comes from the elimination of collective barginning.
