'When we elect a president, we also elect judges, bureaucrats (who stay long after a president’s term/terms of office), laws he gets passed, and executive orders. Consider what just happened in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin was a battleground that put public sector union workers in a bargaining position that allowed the unions to use the power of government to line their pockets and those of their members.

This sweetheart relationship was bankrupting the state. Republican Governor Scott Walker decided to take on the unions. Te governor and the Republicans won. The union thugs were angry can called for recall elections. Gov. Walker and most of the Republicans who were up for the recall won. The electoral process worked. The people elected to office made the laws that they were put in office to implement.

The state budget was saved.

Now we learn that a single judged has thrown out the entire process. “A Wisconsin judge on Friday struck down nearly all of the state law championed by Gov. Scott Walker that effectively ended collective bargaining rights for most public workers.” While the judge was not a federal appointee, there is a lesson here. Judges can overrule the will of the people and elected representatives.'
