power has shifted
at the Wisconsin Capitol.
over the course
of the last year
A few important decisions
by the Wisconsin Supreme Court
has eliminated
legislative oversight
in some key

giving Democratic Governor
Tony Evers executive branch
more power to create rules
without fear of Republicans
stopping them.

senior political reporter
Zach Schultz
and I spoke with former state
Supreme Court Justice Janine
Geske about these cases.

overturn decades of precedent
of how things
operate at the Capitol

because both parties
are more partisan than ever
and using
every lever of government
to stop the other side.

she stressed
each of those decisions
included at least some level
of conservative support.
