But that’s not the craziest part. The craziest part is that he made this ruling despite the fact that he signed a petition to recall Scott Walker:
Nearly four months before he signed off on the poorly edited order granting a temporary injunction against Wisconsin’s new voter identification law, Dane County Circuit Judge David Flanagan scribbled his name on another important legal document:
A petition urging the recall of Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
Walker signed the voter ID legislation last year and is a defendant in the current case.
“The very fact that Dane County Judge David Flanagan signed a petition to recall Governor Walker calls (Tuesday’s) court proceedings regarding Wisconsin’s voter ID law into question,” said Republican Party spokesman Ben Sparks in a statement.
The petition to recall Walker that the good judge signed was being circulated by his wife.
So, I’m a judge in your lawsuit, and I have signed a document trying to have you recalled from office. And I rule that the law passed to protect against voter fraud in your election cannot be enforced.

Wasn't the judge appointed by former Gov Thompson (a republican)?
Yes, he was. He's a lower court judge whose actions are subject to appeal to a higher level. All this whining about conspiracies, "liberal" attacks on our way of life, all nonsense. Someone pass-out the tin/foil hats for those guys to wear. Space ships are approaching! LOL!
How do you determine a "liberal" judge from a "conservative" judge? By their rulings, irregardless of the legal questions involved?
I think one is usually labeled a "liberal" judge because somebody doesn't like his ruling.
It's pretty simple. If you sign a petition to recall the Governor because he asked some unions to take the responsibiity to bill their members for their dues just like every other organization already does instead of getting to garnish their wages, then you're a liberal.

Hmmmm, I seem to recall the Governor wanting the teachers unions to get out, period, they are simply saying the same thing of him.
Now for the topic, no surprise about the Liberal tag being attached by this OP, it is what they do. But my question is has anyone seen the reason stated as to why it was temporarily stop the voter id law? Could it have anything to do with the same reasons many other judges have done the same thing, that it might be Unconstitutional?
