Madison, WI – In response to today’s ruling by a Dane County judge stating Act 10 is ‘unconstitutional,’ Americans for Prosperity-Wisconsin State Director Megan Novak released the following statement:

“This ruling is nothing more than judicial activism by a Governor Evers’s appointee. AFP-WI applauds Speaker Vos and Majority Leader LeMahieu for calling to quickly appeal today’s politically charged ruling to reinstate this constitutional law that has protected Wisconsin taxpayers for over a decade.

“Now more than ever, it is imperative to restore balance in our state’s courts and elect judges who will consider the facts of a case rather than rubber-stamp the Left’s political agenda. Electing Brad Schimel, a fair and balanced judge, will restore the rule of law in our courts and stop judicial activism from making politically motivated decisions.”

    “Electing Brad Schimel, a fair and balanced judge, will restore the rule of law in our courts and stop judicial activism from making politically motivated decisions.”

    Schimel is as ‘fair and balanced’ as Fox News. Don’t forget that he got the Waukesha County judgeship because Scott Walker appointed him to the position after both of them lost their elections in 2018.

    When public schools depend on underpaying workers, then the system is broken. Right wingers have no problems with judicial activism when the judges reflect right wing anti worker ideologies.
