"We, the citizens of Wisconsin will be enforcing the provisions of the temporary injunction.
If we determine that the Capitol Police are engaging in behavior intended to chill free speech, we will declare the Walker Administration unlawful. If citizens are illegally ordered to move out or disperse, the entire rotunda will be subject to tuneful dissent."
"In an attempt to interpret the order as a win instead of a setback, the Capitol Police have apparently decided that the order gives them license to declare an unlawful assembly whenever there are more than twenty-one people in the rotunda.
At a public hearing on changes to these administrative rules last week, nearly two dozen people, including the chief of police for the University of Wisconsin, testified passionately against the attempts by the Walker administration to quash one of the last venues for people to communicate directly and publicly with legislators and the governor about public policy issues like education, health care policy, the budget, environmental protection, jobs and many other topics.
On Monday one officer quietly read a statement indicating their intention to declare an unlawful assembly before the Solidarity Sing Along began, but no such declaration was ever made. On Tuesday a similar statement was apparently read sotto voce and a capella once at noon, and two more times through a megaphone later in the hour.
