Title: Protesters enter Capitol as police await court order to clear out building (putting on rubber gloves)

Madison — A group of perhaps 100 protesters entered the previously restricted and quiet Capitol around its 6 p.m. closing time, but many of them left shortly thereafter when told those who stay risk arrest.

The new group of people joined protesters who have been camping out in the Capitol since sharp limitation were put on entering the building this week. Together, they chanted, "Our house, our house."

Large numbers of law enforcement are now gathering on the ground floor around the protesters, shortly after a Dane County judge announced he was preparing an order that would allow police to clear out the Capitol.

Police thanked protesters for being peaceful during their demonstrations over the past two weeks and asked that those who chose to be arrested to continue to act in that way. Protesters also encouraged one another to be peaceful, but a core group made clear they would leave only if arrested.

After police spoke, scores of people left, chanting "We'll be back," beating on drums and thanking police officers.

Standing in the midst of the demonstrators on the rotunda floor, Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubbs pleaded with the remaining protesters to voluntarily leave.

"I'm asking you as a person to leave," Tubbs said. "I'm asking you nicely to leave the building."

Responding to Tubbs, protesters said they respected the chief but were concerned they would be unable to come into the building again if they left now.

"The fact of the matter is, the more we cooperate, the more we lose of our building," one of them said.

The police are preparing for arrests and some of them are putting on rubber gloves.

David Noyce of Madison said he entered the building around closing time with other demonstrators after someone let them in and that a police officer flashed him a thumb's-up as he entered. The protesters entered just as Gov. Scott Walker was about to start a news conference in a separate room of the building.

The group has been staging protests over a provision in Walker's budget-repair bill that would eliminate most collective bargaining for public unions.

Dane County Circuit Court Judge John Albert said he planned to issue a formal order later in the evening that would allow police to peacefully remove protesters.

The exact wording of the order is being drafted and has not been formally issued. However, in closing arguments in an organized-labor legal effort to obtain a court order that would increase access to the Capitol, Albert indicated he would address the issue of overnight campers.

Albert said his order would provide a reasonable restraint on removing the protesters in a peaceful, respectful manner.

Police say an estimated 100 people fall under the category of protesters who have camped overnight in the rotunda and have resisted efforts to leave.

Albert's order is expected within hours and presumably would be implemented as soon as possible. A letter about Albert's order is expected to be handed to each protester. The letter would explain in detail why the protesters have to leave.

Albert also will address the request for a temporary injunction that the Wisconsin State Employees Union, AFSCME Council 24, has requested. The union wants Albert to order more access to the Capitol. In recent days, the ability to get into the Capitol has been difficult, even for legislators.

The state has argued that it has tried to be reasonable and accommodating to all visitors, but the huge crowds and protests forced them to take measures to restrict access to the historic building.

Left unsaid is what exactly the words "more access" means. Peggy Lautenschlager, the lead attorney for the union, said the state has restricted access in such a way that visitors to the Capitol have been unable to exercise their rights to free speech and assembly.

State lawyers have argued they have done everything they can in extraordinary times at the Capitol to let people in and out of the building. But state officials, particularly Administration Secretary Michael Huebsch, has said that it is time to get the building back in a condition where normal legislative business and other Capitol business can be conducted.

Before Albert recessed the court to work on a draft of an order, he sounded a cautionary tone about what he planned to say.

"I don't want to be in a position of overstepping my authority in managing what could well be, in this political climate, demonstrations and rallies in the near future," he said.

Sounds like the Army/protesters in Tharir Square.

Watch when the state sends in goons.

A camel maybe not a good idea.

Horses better. ;}

Bernanke couldn't find cause and effect in a dictionary. He is an economic moron, and a master of global disaster. The only bigger fools are our leaders who:

1. Haven't fired him. 2. Still listen to him.

Now we have 2008 redux.

The union goons have got em coming, and going. A union (International Brotherhood of Provocateurs) cop let them in, and union cops with union made rubber gloves will clear them out.

And you get to bemoan the "state goons".

They're all together on this one.

This is the big push.

Wonder why the unemployment rate is at an artificially low 8.9%? Three simple words: Labor Force Participation. At 64.2%, it was unchanged from last month, and continues to be at a 25 year low. Should the LFP return to its 25 trendline average of 66.1%, the unemployment rate would be 11.6%. And indicatively, the Birth/Death adjustment was +112,000.
