- The ruling has sparked a political dispute between parties, with critics questioning the court's interpretation of the constitution.
"The decision today cannot be justified under any reasonable reading of the Wisconsin Constitution."— Justice Brian Hagedorn added in that dissent regarding the court's decision on the governor's veto.
