Wisconsin Democrats file 4th lawsuit against lame-duck law

Associated Press  

MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin Democratic Party filed a lawsuit Thursday alleging a lame-duck law Republicans passed to limit Gov. “The will of the people is the law of the land and it’s about time Republicans start respecting that.” Assembly Republican Speaker Robin Vos said during a luncheon in Madison that he wasn’t surprised Democrats were filing another lawsuit challenging the law. The measure prohibts Evers from ordering Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul to withdraw Wisconsin from lawsuits without legislative permission, a move designed to ensure Evers can’t yank the state out of a multistate lawsuit challenging the Affordable Care Act. Five labor unions, including the Service Employees International Union, and a group of liberal-leaning organizations led by the League of Women Voters filed separate lawsuits challenging the law in state court last month.
