In fact, what will likely follow is an orderly emergency rule-making process whereby DHS and the legislature will be forced to work in concert to establish legal guidelines for managing the reopening process.

I lived in Wisconsin. Outside of Madison proper and greater Milwaukee, the only guidelines to establish is social distancing for cows. If you keep the Packers or the fans off the field, more deaths will occur.Bring on the "chaos" ... sheesh!

I've been saying for a while they should try to do the same thing in Illinois and get the Illinois Supreme Court to take up the lawsuits against Lard Butt's endless "Stay at home" decrees. I don't expect the Illinois Supreme Court to do the same as their Wisconsin equivalent and completely strike it down as unconstitutional, but I DO expect they would issue some kind of ruling that the orders are not legally binding after 30 days unless the legislature ratifies it (thus forcing every RAT legislator currently getting paid to do nothing to have to vote "AYE" on extending the unpopular lockdown)

I bet Lard Butt will keep extending it into June (maybe July!) if he continues to be able to act as Dictator of Illinois.

Maybe Fieldmarshaldj can answer this one, what is the party makeup of the Wisconsin Supreme Court? The main difference between them and the IL Supreme Court is that the Wisconsin SC elections are officially "non-partisan", but EVERYONE knows what party the judges are affiliated with anyway, and the donations they get follow suit (a "non-partisan" judge that votes RAT will get funded by Planned Parenthood, the Sierra Club, AFL-CIO, etc.)

I doubt the court has a clear "R" majority, otherwise the RATS would be dismissing the decision as "partisan partisan partisan" and run attacks ads about how "ultra conservative Republicans judges want Wisconsin citizens to die"

I don't think the SCOTUS at the national level would agree to hear any of this, as each state has their own standards for how draconian their lockdowns are, and thus a decision about one state's lockdown order would not be legal precedent for another state's lockdown order.

...guidelines for managing the reopening process.

There is no "reopening process". That is nonsensical political blather. Just open. We did it every day for all of human history, until the democrats saw an opportunity to defeat Trump by not letting a crisis go to waste.

Just open.
