JUST IN: Wisconsin Supreme Court strikes down extension of stay-at-home orders during the coronavirus pandemic as 'unlawful, invalid and unenforceable,' after finding the state's health commissioner exceeded her authority.
The ruling says the judges weren't challenging Democratic Gov. Tony Evers' emergency powers, but the decision effectively undercuts his administration and forces him to work out a compromise with the Republican-controlled legislature.
The decision comes as a result of the legislature suing the health department, charging Palm's directives were an overreach and asking the court to grant relief that gives the legislature a"seat at the table" in the rule-making process. The chief justice actively questioned both sides, and was later criticized for seeming to downplay a spike in the cases connected to a JBS meatpacking in Green Bay.
