MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Tensions between justices at the Wisconsin Supreme Court spilled over into filings this month.
The court ruled 4 to 3 that a lawsuit against Madison School’s gender affirmation policies has to go through the regular appeals process rather than jumping directly to the Supreme Court.
Justice Brian Hagedorn wrote the majority opinion siding with the court’s liberal justices. Amendments to the ruling include personal attacks against Hagedorn from Justice Rebecca Bradley, where she accuses Hagedorn of propagating false news and attacking conservative voices in the court, as well as disappointment from Justice Annette Zeigler that the court is ignoring important social issues.
The court will be moving to a progressive majority in August when incoming Justice Janet Protasiewicz takes office.
