Last week, in a surprise move, Governor Evers submitted a brief with the Wisconsin Supreme Court asking the court NOT to take up a lawsuit that was filed last month alleging the state’s school voucher program is unconstitutional. Evers argues there is no emergency basis for the high court to take case and that the case should start in the district court to get all the facts laid out before it goes to the state Supreme Court.
This lawsuit was filed directly with the Supreme Court to try to take advantage of the court’s new liberal majority. This approach is becoming a trend for liberals. The governor is right in weighing in on this case and reminding everyone we have three levels of state courts for a reason and going directly to the supreme court should be the exception not the norm.
