(Reuters) - A Dane County circuit court judge ordered Wisconsin authorities on Tuesday to open the Capitol Building in Madison to public access during business hours. It was not immediately clear whether the temporary restraining order granted by Judge Daniel Moeser would result in a change in the way people have been granted access to the building over the past two days. Protesters have held demonstrations for two weeks at the Capitol building against Republican Governor Scott Walker's proposal to curb the powers of public sector unions and access was tightened on Monday and Tuesday. A representative of the Walker administration was not immediately available to comment. Moeser's order was granted without a hearing and specified that it would stand in effect until the trial court is able to schedule a hearing on the matter. Representative Peter Barca, the minority leader of Democrats in the Wisconsin Assembly, said a hearing was expected within a couple of hours, but authorities needed to open access to the building in an "orderly process." "I do think they need to do this immediately," Barca said.

Can a chief executive who is an R simply ignore a judge's order? Or is that only permissible if the chief executive is a D? Inquiring minds want to know . . .
"If you're 20 and not a liberal, you have no heart. It you're 40 and not a conservative, you have no brain." Or is that only permissible if the chief executive is a D? Inquiring minds want to know . . . Why would you want Walker to ignore the court ruling? What kind of tyrannical shit is this that the people's property be closed off to the people?

denying access is in direct violation of the state constitution.

They GOP running dogs are scared. The GOP tried to fight back and orchestrated Tea Party counter demonstrations were weak and barely registered - resembled the fake counter protest demonstrations Mubark rolled out in Egypt.

The Chief Executive of the land has ignored a judge's ruling (vis-a-vis Obamacare) Since chief executives defying court rulings seem to be the order of the day, my question was designed to elicit an answer as to whether the same could be applied here. The only difference I could see that might cause the answer to be no was the fact that the US Chief Excecutive is a D, while the Wisconsin Chief Executive is an R. Is that the reason the situation should be looked at differently? (For the record, I believe Governors and Presidents SHOULD abide by judicial rulings. Regardless of their party affiliation.)
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ That's kind of kooky reasoning. Where did you hear that the so called "Obamacare" law (Actually Dole-care since the Republican Bob Dole came up with it) was unconstitutional? The matter is still before the court and is the law of the land till the Supreme Court rules otherwise.

Nope. The ruling IS the law of the land (IF and UNTIL the SCOTUS hears it and IF the SCOTUS overturns it.) Look it up
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ Not being present for a quorum is part of centuries old parliamentarian procedures. For example, Abe Lincoln jumped out a window to prevent a quorum. It is a filibuster in physical form. It's exists in a republic to empower the minority party against the tyranny of the majority. So called original intent constitutionalists should know this.

hardly, just a union assclown with a hat, I didn't know the village people were recruiting for a fireman character.
my squealing, you continued posts of firemen shows just how desperate you are, you think they will delay the smashing defeat walker will whip on you. the only mistake he made was exempting these douches from the bill.
Hey dude, not so fast. According to the Wisconsin AFL-CIO, a state judge has issued a temporary restraining order that would open the Capitol building in Madison. It has been effectively closed since 8 am yesterday, with protesters unable to get inside and even attendees of a pubic hearing having to be escorted into the building. The Capitol police added metal detectors, police dogs and pat-downs for all entrants, and even refused access to the building for state representatives who didn’t show Capitol ID. Here’s some video from inside the building as it was under lockdown. The AFL-CIO, ACLU and others argued that the blocking of access violated the Wisconsin state constitution. It appears they have succeeded. You have the courage to tell the masses what no politician told them: you are inferior and all the improvements in your conditions which you simply take for granted you owe to the efforts of men who are better than you. Ludwig von Mises in a letter to Ayn Rand
So firefighters and cops are now the Village People? and you say you don't insult them? That's the deranged conservatives for you.

Go back and read what's at the link I provided. Walker's orders have nothing to do with business hours.
