Wisconsin Supreme Court Upholds Scott Walker's Union Bill

LINK - And this folks shows why it is so important to vote. There was an election recently held in Wisconsin for a justice on the state's Supreme Court. The unions tried their best to get Supreme Court Justice David Prosser removed and have a new, activist justice it seems, appointed who would change the balance of the state's SCOTUS so they would uphold the ruling made by Judge Maryanne Sumi that Scott Walker's union law was invalid (on the grounds that it vioalted the state's open meetings law). If anyone followed the election that night, it was very close, as at first everyone had thought Prosser lost, then it turned out a bunch of votes hadn't been counted, and it turned out he had actually won. The SCOTUS ruled in a 4-3 decision, which means had the union judge won, it would have been a 4-3 decision and agreed with Judge Sumi.
