While this is huge in the abstract and as precedent, especially the fact that they directly addressed renewing emergency declarations for the same emergency, unfortunately the effect on the ground for most people in WI may be near zero. The Madison and Milwaukee areas have most of the population, and the local leaders here will maintain lockdowns and mask mandates, without giving the slightest thought to the obvious implication that if it's unconstitutional for the Governor to do it, they shouldn't do it either. In Dane County, they held an emergency midnight session when the state lockdown order was struck, to make sure our county was not unlocked for even one minute.

Progressives are waging total political war. The time for polite debates is over.

The choice now is stark: friend or enemy? totalitarianism or freedom?
