The &#8220;union rights law will take effect, thanks to a sharply divided ruling by the state Supreme Court&#8221; that smacked down this judge like I haven\u2019t seen a judge smacked down by a court in a long time. &#8220;The Wisconsin state Supreme Court determined that the judge [Sumi] overstepped her authority when she voided the governor\u2019s plan to strip most public workers of their collective bargaining rights. The ruling Tuesday evening was a major victory for Republican Governor Scott Walker, who said the law was needed to help address the state\u2019s $3.6 billion shortfall. In a 4-3 decision that included a blistering dissent, the Supreme Court rules that Dane County circuit judge Maryann Sumi overstepped when she declared law void last month.&#8221; <\/p>\n<paragraph\/><paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125109.Par.89380.ImageFile_5791457c181db.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright\"\/><\/p>\n<paragraph\/><paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">Robert B. Reichhhh, former labor secretary, is beside himself over this. Last night he was In the Arena on CNN.<\/p>\n<p>REICH: Unions had been the backbone of the middle class, the working class, and the Democratic Party. Republican efforts to undermine unions &#8212; and they\u2019ve looked for this opportunity &#8212; to put working people against people who are other working people whether it\u2019s unionized whether it\u2019s nonunion used or public sector unions versus non-public sector unions or to some extent, uh, immigrants against native born. This whole approach that we are kind of a poor nation, we are scrambling after crumbs. &#8220;If you get something and that means less for me,&#8221; without recognition that we are richer than we\u2019ve ever been, the GDP is higher than it was before the Great Recession, but most of the gains of economic growth &#8212; certainly over the past 30 years &#8212; have gone to the top 1%.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And of course the underlying theory here from Labor Secretary Reich is that union workers are at the bottom of the dregs &#8211; I mean, they are just barely making a living! &#8212; when of course they are the ones in the top 1%. Anyway, it was a huge slap down, and it was a major upper for all of us concerned about what\u2019s right and for the future of these kinds of relationships.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Robert B. Reichhhh, don\u2019t forget, was the guy who said that he didn\u2019t want to see any stimulus money go to any &#8220;white construction guys.&#8221; He wanted it to go to minorities and so forth and so on. These people are just devastated over the Supreme Court ruling in Wisconsin. Folks, when it was happening, we told you it was seminal, because what was going on in Wisconsin was simply a money-laundering operation. Union workers are paid by taxpayers, their union dues are deducted, and those union dues end up back at Democrat Party. The stimulus money was used to keep those federal and state workers employed so their union dues would continue to be collected and funneled the Democrat Party. That\u2019s what has been overturned, in large part, and that\u2019s why they\u2019re fit to be tied. Because now they have to go out and compete in the real world, in the marketplace rather than have the game be rigged in their favor, and they\u2019re beside themselves. <\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: There was fabulous news out of Wisconsin yesterday. &#8220;Wisconsin\u2019s polarizing union rights law&#8230;&#8221; and, by the way, this is an AP story, and they\u2019re hyperventilating.
