Impact of ruling on other state laws[edit]

@Fabartus: Many thanks for your kind words about this article. In your last edit, you added a sentence that said: "Since the Wisconsin State Law specifically forbade said strike, the ruling also affirmed that such state laws were legal." However, the United States Supreme Court's ruling was limited to the question of whether a due process violation occurred, and the court did not issue any ruling with respect to the legality of the Wisconsin law or other state laws.

In his majority opinion, Chief Justice Burger explained that "[t]he sole issue in this case is whether the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits this School Board from making the decision to dismiss teachers . . . ." (426 U.S. at 488 (emphasis added)). Because the United States Supreme Court is "bound to accept the interpretation of Wisconsin law by the highest court of the State," (Id.) the United States Supreme Court had to accept the Wisconsin Supreme Court's conclusion that the Wisconsin law was not illegal; the United States Supreme Court said nothing about the legality of similar laws in other states. Nor would it be fair to say that the Supreme Court's reliance on the Wisconsin Supreme Court's interpretation of Wisconsin law implicitly established that such laws were lawful. For those reasons, I am going to go ahead and remove the sentence that you added. In any event, thanks so much for letting us know about this very interesting case. I hope all is well!

I bow to your superior knowledge of the law, though the implication is aprori one would think. If the type of laws were illegal as the union represented (or so I recollect now from reading one or more of the web pages about it), the ruling would have been different as well. Or so I understood. On your head let it be. FrankB 19:00, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
