MADISON - The Wisconsin Supreme Court has struck down Gov. Tony Evers' order shutting down daily life to limit the spread of coronavirus — marking the first time a statewide order of its kind has been knocked down by a court of last resort.
The state's highest court, which is controlled by conservatives, sided with Republican lawmakers Wednesday in a decision that curbed the Evers administration's power to act unilaterally during public health emergencies.

I’ve seen asbestos abatement workers cut a hole in their respirator for a cigarette. Honestly. Or put a rag with solvent on it inside their respirator to get high.
Bump
Next stop is to clip the wings of that Nazi *itch in MI!
The executive branch of Mi is rat controlled.
“I don’t understand why the feds don’t put an end to the trampling of the peoples constitutional rights!?”
Barr expressed a fleeting concern a couple of weeks ago. Went nowhere.
Licensing is just a ploy by established persons (think florists) to keep the competition out. Also gives the states a platform to regulate and tax. I hold a number of licenses in Texas. Makes jobs for bureaucrats
Instead they will threaten to pull business licenses, which is what Tom Wolf is doing in PA. “
Half Whit in did this in Mi yesterday when the court ruled she cannot stop a barber from opening in one of the small towns in Michigan she pulled their license illegally without a hearing the day after the court ruling.
Miracle - this looked really bad a few days ago. Evers and Palm are not done yet. They will hit this from another angle.
Michiganders holding a candle-light vigil for this.
Prayers answered or pitchforks and torches
The bars here are already opening.
“The bars are open tonight in Wisconsin”
And I hope the barber shops are open tomorrow so I can cross the border from The Peoples Republic of Illinois to get a haircut.
Your Liberal Democrat sister is free to lock herself in her home and self-quarantine forever.
Crickets, it would seem.
I hope not SE Wisconsin because we got lots of coronavirus here...from Illinois.
I cut my kids hair when they were young. No license...and looking at the old pics...I would have never gotten one.
Enough idiot democrat filth recently diluted the supreme court conservative majority by electing a left democrat to the court.
I definitely see a place for these emergency orders, like we see with the president having power to Take military action for certain period of time before Getting congressional approval to continue in times where seconds or minutes count. Same as it should be applied to the state governors, in the early days of the pandemic they need to make quick decisions, but those should be limited to say 14 days before they must get legislative approval of their plans. That should also require additional legislative approval of any changes or to extend The orders every 14 days as well. That way they all need to justify their actions.
In virginia, we have a law, the law grants powers to the executive when there is a state of emergency. The governor is allowed to declare a state of emergency, on a pretty broad basis (in January, he declared a “state of emergency” because of a political rally, and courts upheld his right to do so, and to curtail 1st and 2nd amendment rights based on the emergency).
I’m guessing the law has some method for the legislature to step in. It appears that our law does not have a time limit.
We the people do have the right to recall our governor, and that seems to be about the only thing we could do right now to legally stop him from doing anything he wants, with the power of our SOE law.
Just be sure to drink Wisconsinably.
