Wisconsin AG Sues Leftie Judge Sumi, Calls for State Supreme Court Intervention
from Gateway Pundit by Jim Hoft

This is what democracy looks like…
Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen filed a petition for the State Supreme Court to step in over far left Judge Sumi’s move to block the new union law from taking effect.

Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen

The people have spoken.
Jurist.com reported:

Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen [official website] on Thursday filed a filed a Petition for Supervisory Writ [text, PDF] directly to the state Supreme Court over a circuit court judge’s temporary blocking [JURIST report] of a controversial bill that limits the rights of public employee unions. The suit claims that Dane County Circuit Court [official website] Judge Maryann Sumi did not have the constitutional authority to block the publication of the Budget Repair Bill [Senate Bill 11 text, PDF]. It then asks the Wisconsin Supreme Court [official website] to immediately take jurisdiction of the case and dismiss it. A Petition for Supervisory Writ is not a direct appeal of any lower court decision, but rather a procedure that starts a new action altogether [Wis. Stat. 809.70 text] because the petitioner claims a judge violated his or her constitutional authority.

Last month, Sumi issued an order [JURIST report] clarifying that the temporary restraining order issued March 18 prohibits not only publication of the bill, but implementation of its provisions as well.
