The Wisconsin Supreme Court is hearing arguments today on whether to strike down the state’s mask mandate.
The order put in place by Governor Evers is being challenged by conservatives who say it’s an unconstitutional overreach of power.
Since the start of coronavirus, Evers has issued three public health emergencies and a series of related orders. State law limits health emergencies to 60 days, but the Legislature can grant an extension. Evers has issued new health orders, arguing that he can do that because the threat caused by the pandemic has changed.
In May, the high court struck down the Governor’s “safer at home” order issued in March.
