During a recent hearing on Senate Joint Resolution 2, Wisconsin lawmakers discussed the urgent need to codify laws previously deemed constitutional by both the Wisconsin Supreme Court and federal courts. This resolution comes in response to a surge of legal challenges from liberal activists following the election of Justice Janet Prodasiewicz, who has already seen lawsuits targeting established laws like the Wisconsin School Choice Program.

The committee highlighted a recent case where a Dane County judge ruled Act 10 unconstitutional, despite it having been upheld in earlier rulings. This trend raises concerns among lawmakers about the stability of existing laws, particularly as activists are now calling for challenges to the state's voter ID law, which has also been affirmed by the courts.

Lawmakers expressed apprehension about the potential for the Wisconsin Supreme Court to reconsider these laws without the guidance of established precedent. The discussion underscored the importance of protecting these constitutional laws from ongoing legal challenges that could undermine their validity. As the committee moves forward, the implications of this resolution could significantly impact the legal landscape in Wisconsin, ensuring that previously upheld laws remain secure against future challenges.
