Wisconsin Supreme Court sentences its citizens to death, no appeals.

Wisconsin’s Safe at Home order from the governor is declared illegal by the Supreme Court. The governor says it is now the “Wild West “ in Wisconsin. Wisconsin, a state in which 69% of its citizens believe the Safe at Home order was good, effective and reasonable. Indeed it was.

Now the state’s Supreme Court says fuck you, eat shit and die.

only County that will remain closed.

Heard all the Casino's are opening up. That ought to be a real friggin disaster.

The Bar scene is a tough one in Wisconny. Glad to hear Green Bay as well as the surrounding towns keep it shut down. With the two packinghouses full of sick people,just what could go wrong I ask.

Thank goodness! More will follow

Tiffany's newly won prize will start exploding with positive tests and hospitalizations. I hope they all shake his hand to congratulate him. Damn, I hate the repugs.

I'm going to continue staying home every day because I'm retired but this bullshit from the supreme court jesters will put us all at increased risk, including my grown son and daughters. They made people stand in line on election day and now they are forcing the state to re-open. If one or more of the supremes gets exposed to c19 you won't me see me crying abut it.

calling it a death sentence is a bit much. People can still stay home and stay safe if they want to.

It was a legal interpretation on whether (any) Governor can extend an Executive Order past 60 days. The SC wasn't telling anyone to die.

On edit: the grievance was that the Governor didn't first confer with the Legislature.
