The Wisconsin Model

by
A recent Wisconsin Supreme Court decision should serve as a model for transforming the United States into a free society. Here is what led to it. On March 24, the Wisconsin governor, Tony Evers, a Democrat, directed state health officials to issue a stay-at-home order for Wisconsin prohibiting non-essential travel in order to slow the spread of COVID-19 in the state. The order (Emergency Order 28), which took effect the next day, was supposed to remain in effect until April 24.
