Liberal Activist Judge Blows Up Wisconsin Public Employee Law

This won't last too long:
From the San Francisco Chronicle: A Wisconsin judge on Friday struck down nearly all of the state law championed by Gov. Scott Walker that effectively ended collective bargaining rights for most public workers.
Walker's administration immediately vowed to appeal, while unions, which have vigorously fought the law, declared victory. But what the ruling meant for existing public contracts was murky: Unions claimed the ruling meant they could negotiate again, but Walker could seek to keep the law in effect while the legal drama plays out.
The law, a crowning achievement for Walker that made him a national conservative star, took away nearly all collective bargaining rights from most workers and has been in effect for more than a year.
Dane County Circuit Judge Juan Colas ruled that the law violates both the state and U.S. Constitution and is null and void.
Colas is a extremely liberal judge and his ruling won't stand.  Federal judges already have said the vast majority of the law is constitutional, so this mental midget's ruling will not stand.
My guess that this will be immediately appealed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court and with a conservative majority, the ruling will be overturned.
So, the liberals will have their joy today but in the end, they will lose and lose big time.
