Watch Wisconsin judge compare stay-home orders to WWII internment
By Oliver Willis -May 5, 2020 1:49 PM
Republican lawmakers have been challenging stay-at-home orders despite the significant risk to public health posed by COVID-19.
On Tuesday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court heard oral arguments via teleconference on a challenge from the state's Republican lawmakers to the "safer at home" order issued by the administration of Democratic Gov. Tony Evers to protect citizens during the COVID-19 outbreak and slow the spread of the disease.
During the hearing, conservative Justice Rebecca Bradley invoked the landmark United States Supreme Court case Korematsu v. United States, which allowed the government to hold Japanese Americans in internment camps during World War II. Bradley suggested that requiring Wisconsin residents to stay home, and to keep non-essential businesses closed, was similar to that decision.
Bradly was first appointed to the circuit court in Milwaukee by then-Gov. Scott Walker in 2012 and won election to the state Supreme Court in 2016 even after columns surfaced in which she said she had no sympathy for AIDS patients she referred to them as "queers" and "degenerate drug addicts" and called people who voted for Bill Clinton "either totally stupid or entirely evil."
