MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin health officials have recorded more than 1,300 new cases of COVID-19 throughout the state Monday.

What can a court do? It can issue a hyperpartisan ruling to cause more thousands of people to die in an effort undermine a Democratic Governor's efforts to fight the pandemic. Before the court's ruling, Wisconsin was in a pretty good position.

Wisconsin Supreme Court invalidates state's COVID-19 stay-at-home order

(Reuters) - The Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down a statewide coronavirus stay-at-home order on Wednesday, siding with a legal challenge from Republican lawmakers who said the state’s top public health official exceeded her authority by imposing the restrictions.

While lockdown orders meant to quell the pandemic have been challenged in court in several states, the decision in Wisconsin marked the first such lawsuit to succeed in a larger political debate over social distancing that has grown increasingly partisan.

At stake in Wisconsin was a “Safer at Home” order that had been extended through May 26 by the state’s secretary for the Department of Health Services, Andrea Palm, acting at the direction of Governor Tony Evers.

The court ruled that while Evers, a first-term Democrat, possesses emergency powers as governor, the stay-at-home directive was effectively imposed by Palm, whose discretion as a political appointee is more limited.

8. I am hopeful that we will not. Not this time

2. They challenged the stay-at-home orders here in PA too

but fortunately our elected State Supreme Court is 5 (2) - 2 (R) allowed the Governor's actions to stand - and basically because it is encoded in state law and part of the state Constitution!

3. and the uni of wisconsin continues to broadcast sports on 3 llimbaugh stations that

screamed it was a hoax and then that masks and stay at home orders were socialist communist political attacks on trump

alll over the country at least these 87 unis and many pro teams broadcast on and help RW radio stations pay the bills by attracting advertisers

and most of those athletes are black and those stations are the modern KKK

4. Is It A Coincidence That South Dakota and Wisconsin Lead the Nation In + Testing Rates?

With South Dakota, it is due to the extremist views of its Governor who has aggressively pushed tourism in the midst of the pandemic, including Sturgis. Now, its positivity rate is close to 20 percent.

With Wisconsin, you have a State Supreme Court that has struck down state and local attempts to control the pandemic. Thus, its positivity rate is also closing in on 20 percent.

5. Democrats should stay home and stay healthy

If Republicans want to go out and party and get sick, no one's stopping them.

6. Mosquitoes transmit so many diseases, has anyone studied their involvement with Covid?

Obviously, we are infested with maskless Trumplodytes here, but I'm also thinking outside the box. Some smaller pests may be doing harm too.

9. This part is the "Trump Virus."

The super spreader events are beginning to take their toll. It ain't going to be pretty.
