Delafield-based Institute for Reforming Government (IRG) in April asked the Wisconsin Legislature to \u201censhrine\u201d the controversial laws into the Wisconsin Constitution in the form of a constitutional amendment.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>These laws were among examples IRG Chief Legal Counsel and Director of Oversight Anthony LoCoco picked to amend into the State Constitution to \u201cprotect some of the most significant conservative wins of the last few decades,\u201d according to the IRG website.<\/p>\n<p>In the memo, LoCoco said reforms enacted or expanded under former Governor Scott Walker are \u201cnow at stake,\u201d following the results of the State Supreme Court election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCodifying critical policy in the Wisconsin Constitution prevents judicial rulings that the reforms violate the Wisconsin Constitution. In other words, if the Wisconsin Constitution itself mandates these important reforms, that document will provide no basis for striking them down,\u201d according to the memo.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyreporter.com\/2023\/05\/10\/speaker-vos-act-10-was-act-of-the-people-supreme-court-to-lose-legitimacy-if-relitigated\/\">full article here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post originally appeared at https:\/\/reforminggovernment.org\/featured-speaker-vos-act-10-was-act-of-the-people-supreme-court-to-lose-legitimacy-if-relitigated\/ (The Daily Reporter) \u2013 Speaker Vos: Act 10 was&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":1942,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-institute-for-reforming-government"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2783"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2783\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2785,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2783\/revisions\/2785"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
