The appeals courts had said the Supreme Court should take the cases right away because of their significance. Now, the appeals courts will have to render their own decisions on the cases.

The cases could then go to the Supreme Court, and are widely expected to be decided by that court.

There is a PROCESS ... follow the process. Of course the US Supreme Court is going to demand that the process be followed. They did the right thing. Let the Appeals Court render a decision, and THEN it can go to the US Supreme Court.

It was the WI state supreme court that rejected the case, but your point that there is a process to follow is still valid.

We’re talking about the STATE Supreme Court here. The AG wanted to go directly to the State Supreme court because he knows that it will be appealed to the US Supreme Court no matter who prevails. It is a standard short cut in election cases.

This is the reason that the Dems are so focused on getting Justice Prosser kicked off. The Dems want to be back into control here. Now we’re going to have to go through appeals and then a big fight over who actully gets to sit on the Wis State Supreme Court for the case and then on to the USSC. We’ll be lucky to have voter ID for November, let alone the recall.

I’ve lived here 27 years, and I’ve seen Voter Photo ID passed numerous times and watched the Dems scuttle it in every instance. It truly is disgusting. Makes you almost lose faith in the democratic process! sarc/off
