Scott Walker: Veto The Bill Or Forever Be Known As A Liar And Hypocrite!

The atrocity comically known as the Budget Repair Bill was passed late in the night by the Wisconsin Assembly, in what could very well be an illegal vote, as that not all members were given the opportunity to vote.

Before that, it was passed by the Joint Finance Committee, again late into the night.

Less than a year ago, Scott Walker, still the gubernatorial candidate, made a stance against such late night law making:
Last week, when the Assembly pulled two all-nighters, lawmakers became an easy target of critics who said that late-night lawmaking is not the way to do the state's business.
One of those who criticized the practice was Republican candidate for governor Scott Walker, who said he would sign legislation as governor that would forbid the Legislature from voting after 10 p.m. and before 9 a.m.
Given Walker's opposition to such late night theatrics, he must veto this bill or forever be known as a liar and a hypocrite.  And that will be just one more nail in the recall election ballot box.
