MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A federal judge has denied a request by Wisconsin's attorney general to put on hold his decision blocking the state's voter identification law from taking effect.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman on Wednesday denied Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen's request for a stay of his April order blocking the photo ID law. Adelman says he is denying the request because Van Hollen's likelihood of winning the case on appeal is low.

Van Hollen's spokeswoman Dana Brueck declined comment.

Van Hollen has appealed to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and asked it to also lift Adelman's injunction blocking the photo ID requirement. That appeals court has given opponents of the law until Tuesday to respond to Van Hollen's request.


*******************************
Van Hollen just never gives up...

1. The judge in effect wrote an additional brief on the issues

This was a well written opinion by the judge and addressed the issued raised by Walker and the Wisconsin AG. The 7th Cir. will get to rely on this opinion as an additional brief in this appeal

2. He is really trying to drive voting patterns and follow the party line

between this and the gay marriage ban appeal, he seems desperate to keep these going.

Isn't there a rumor that he is Walker's appointed internal party successor if/when Walker runs for President in 2016?

3. Van Hollen's a self serving dick! eom
