Hopefully, with four conservatives currently on the Wisconsin Supreme Court (and, God willing, Prosser is re-elected), they’ll take the case and rule for Walker and the taxpayers.
A state appeals panel said Thursday a case over a new collective bargaining law should go directly to the state Supreme Court.
The move puts the issue squarely before the Supreme Court less than two weeks before Justice David Prosser faces re-election.
It is at the high court’s discretion on whether it takes the case. It is not clear how quickly the court will decide whether to take it and, if it does, how soon it would issue a ruling.
The case is closely watched because it will determine whether the new law eliminating most collective bargaining for public employee unions will take effect. The plan by Republican Gov. Scott Walker drew swarms of protesters to the Capitol for weeks and brought a national focus on Wisconsin.
The appeals court did not weigh in on the merits of the case, instead saying the Supreme Court should take up the issue directly. The high court needs to rule because of conflicting past decisions, the appeals court said.
