Gov. Scott Walker's campaign launched a petition drive onThursday, urging people to show their support for his law limiting collectivebargaining in the wake of a judge's decision striking it down asunconstitutional.
"An activist judge in Madison chose to put politicsahead of your votes by striking down Governor Walker's good government budgetreforms," the online petition reads. "When the big special interestslose at the ballot box they turn to activist judges to legislate from thebench."
Campaign spokesman Tom Evenson said that anyone inside oroutside of Wisconsin can sign it.
Look Dane County Circuit Judge Juan Colas struck down parts of Act 10 because the law violates the state and U.S. constitutional guarantees of freespeech and freedom of association. The law also violates the Constitution's equalprotection clause by creating separate classes of state workers who are treateddifferently and unequally under the law.
But that’s alright I guess, because a bunch of tea party "constitutional scholars," think a petition has any relevance at all.
Or is it just a way to gin up the base for the presidential elections?
Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, who calledit "absolutely bizarre. The interpretation of the Constitution is notbased on petitions," Barca said.
