Like many other citizens, the residents of Wisconsin are suffering from a government that has chosen to put them on house arrest and criminalize honest work. Instead of listening to the people he was elected to govern, Gov. Evers chose to extend his lockdown through the month of May.
This decision ultimately engendered the downfall of the Wisconsin governor’s safer-at-home order altogether. Wisconsin’s Supreme Court determined that Evers went too far by extending his lockdown; furthermore, any future safer-at-home orders or similar measures are now mandated to go through the state’s legislature.
The Supreme Court’s decision comes after pushback against Evers’ Executive Order from GOP members. Republicans ultimately made the case that the Wisconsin governor’s power should not rival that of the state legislature.
What Happens Now?
As of now, Evers’ safer-at-home directive will maintain for only six more days. During this period, Gov. Evers can work with the state legislature to reach an agreement on additional steps forward. The ruling of the Wisconsin Supreme Court marks a significant win for Americans who remain eager to see this country reopened for business.
