Dane County Judge Ruled Wrongly In Budget Repair Bill

The Dane county judge ruled that the Republicans did not follow legislative rules when they voted in favor of the budget repair bill.  Before all you Libs get bent out of shape let us look at the rule (written in 1983) by 2 of the senators that ran to Illinois to avoid the vote - Cullen and Risser - Senate Rule 93 says that when the Legislature is in special session, "A notice of a committee meeting is not required other than posting on the legislative bulletin board."  A first year law student should be able to tell that the judge passed this off to the appeals court because she didn't want to deal with this.

  1. I didn't go to law school but I can read it and know what it means. If they can't be fair about the law then they shouldn't be a judge! If the laws are made so they are not clear in meaning and can be taken more than one way then it is time to change the meaning so that all the judges can understand them and quit waisting our money and our time!
