Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen on Thursday filed a filed a Petition for Supervisory Writ directly to the state Supreme Court over a circuit court judge's temporary blocking of a controversial bill that limits the rights of public employee unions.

The suit claims that Dane County Circuit Court Judge Maryann Sumi did not have the constitutional authority to block the publication of the Budget Repair Bill. It then asks the Wisconsin Supreme Court to immediately take jurisdiction of the case and dismiss it. A Petition for Supervisory Writ is not a direct appeal of any lower court decision, but rather a procedure that starts a new action altogether because the petitioner claims a judge violated his or her constitutional authority.

He should ask the feds to get involved in the issue just like liberals like Michael Moore want the feds to get involved in the state's SC election.

She should have recused herself, anyway, because of her ties to the unions through her relative.  (I forget whether it was a BIL or whatever)
