Could not this be cited against Judge Davis's very wrong reasoning?<br /><br />Second reason for appeal: his refusal to let the recall-petitioners <i>(against whose petitions this changed rule will be applied)</i> bring any such evidence or argument in support of the GAB into his court.Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974090948640572660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-20156814967541817842012-01-09T14:52:56.271-06:002012-01-09T14:52:56.271-06:00Since Judge Davis issued his ruling last week, I h...Since Judge Davis issued his ruling last week, I have been trying to find a copy to read. <br /><br />I called Judge Davis' clerk's office today to find out how I could get a copy of the ruling. She told me that Judge Davis issued his ruling orally, and had no plans to have it transcribed into any written form (beyond normal court transcription). That is, there are no plans to make it readily available to the general public.<br /><br />I pointed out to her that when Judge Sumi issued her ruling in the Open Meetings case, she also issued it orally, but had it transcribed and posted, as the case was one of great public interest; and I asked if Judge Davis might consider doing likewise as this is a similar matter of public interest. She said she did not expect Judge Davis to do that, but I could request in writing that he do so. I asked if doing so 'in writing' meant also being able to do so via the internet; she said no, the only non-paper way they are equipped to to receive such a request is via fax.<br /><br />In other words, a polite but flat 'no'; if you are interested in hearing why it is Judge Davis ruled the way he did, you are essentially out-of-luck.<br /><br />(So here's one reason why having such matters of such state-wide interest be handled by Dane County Courts - they're used to handling the higher level of interest, and are equipped to do so.)Robert earlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-76939805769429165842012-01-09T09:14:34.785-06:002012-01-09T09:14:34.785-06:00A lot didn't and I bet a lot did.
