Yesterday the Wisconsin Supreme Court, acting on an expedited basis, answered the question posed by the Seventh Circuit in the “affirmative” — the Wisconsin Legislature was authorized to act as a litigant on behalf of the State of Wisconsin when the issue in dispute was defending the validity of a law passed by the legislature. Because Judge Conley’s order declared parts of the Wisconsin election code to be in violation of federal constitutional law, and therefore unenforceable for the upcoming election, the Wisconsin Legislature could challenge his ruling.

What about the Wisconsin Attorney General you might wonder. Why did he not seek to defend the Wisconsin statutes and oppose Judge Conley’s order? He’s a Democrat, elected in 2018, and serving his first term as Wisconsin Attorney General. He’s too busy helping to prosecute Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha.

And, prior to running for office, he worked for the notorious Democrat Party election law specialists, the Perkins Coie law firm in their Madison, Wisconsin office.
