Judge blocks Wisconsin labor law

A district attorney has successfully convinced a judge to block Gov. Walker’s new labor law, on grounds that the legislative committee that enabled passage of the bill met without a 24 hour notice, a requirement by Wisconsin’s open meeting laws.

“I would hope the Republicans would take this as an opportunity to sit down with Democrats and negotiate a proposal we could all get behind,” said Democratic Sen. Jon Erpenbach.

Unlikely. It is far more probably that the Republicans will simply re-vote on the measure, as is. When you have a supermajority, there’s no reason to negotiate, especially after Republican offers to do so were already turned down.
