Wisconsin State Rep. Nick Milroy (D-South Range) conducts business outside the Wisconsin State Capitol, joining several Democratic legislators that moved their offices outside the building Wednesday, March 2, 2011. The lawmakers said that they made the move to accommodate constituents that have trouble gaining access to their inside work spaces.

Protesters who have turned out en masse for the past two weeks to oppose Republican Gov. Scott Walker's budget repair bill are now fighting a second battle: Just getting through the Capitol doors.–

On Tuesday, several dozen protesters slept outside the Capitol in a camp they've dubbed "Walkerville." They urged others to join them Wednesday and to donate supplies for the cold night ahead.

Also on Wednesday, testimony continued for a second day in Dane County Circuit Court to determine if current restrictions on public access to the Capitol are legal. The hearing will resume Thursday afternoon, after both sides rejected a compromise order floated by Judge John Albert that would have increased access to the Capitol if the 107 protesters still inside began to leave.

4. Walker defied a court order & a judge is working with both sides for a compromise?!

Those taxpayers have a right to enter the capitol. No compromise is necessary.
