MADISON, Wisconsin (Reuters) – A sharply divided Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that a controversial measure that curbs the collective bargaining rights of public workers in the state can go into effect.

In what was essentially a 4-3 decision, the high court overturned a lower court, which had ruled Republican lawmakers violated the state's open meetings law when they passed the measure in March.

"Access was not denied," the Supreme Court declared in Tuesday's decision. "There is no constitutional requirement that the legislature provide access to as many members of the public as wish to attend meetings of the legislature or meetings of legislative committees."

But Tuesday' 68-page decision was a thicket of concurrences and dissents, reflecting the sharp divide the measure has created in the state itself.

1. It's absolute corruption
The fact that thousands of votes just appear out of nowhere, unverified and there is no real fight put up over it proves how backward our system is. In many countries, that would not have been acceptable, but election fraud is very overlooked here.

2. Well, so much for the recalls...
Even if the Democrats take back the State Senate, and recall Walker next year, any attempt to repeal this law will founder in the staunchly-Republican State House.

Game over. We lost. :-(
