Wisconsin Judge strikes down Governor Walker's collective bargaining law

I don't wish to make light of the grave situation facing Wisconsin public employees, but this is really hysterical. According to the Wisconsin State Journal, Scotty McNuggets and his goons in the legislature failed to give 24 hours notice of the committee hearing, thus invalidating the subsequent bill. It is very hard to imagine that this was anything else than a blunder, as Republicans control the committee in question. I'd hate to be in the governor's shoes: His corporate masters are going to be very angry at him indeed.

This isn't victory, they can just do it all over again. Nevertheless, we can cherish this moment. Oh boy did the Republicans mess up!
