Evers angered Republicans in the ways he used partial vetoes, with some saying Wednesday that the Democratic governor was going back on deals he had made with them.
Wisconsin allows this kind of partial veto by their governor. Scott Walker did a similar thing when he was governor preventing schools from adopting energy efficiency for hundreds of years
Plus, unless he’s done something inconsistent with the state constitution, the state Supreme Court will have a liberal majority in August. I can’t imagine this could be challenged by a lower state court and make its way to the state Supreme Court before then.
Yeah, that’s not going to survive a court challenge.

TIL. I’m surprised that this is allowed. Usually vetos are at most line-item, not down to individual characters.
How do you /r/ConfidentlyIncorrect someone here? 😂
Honest question if you have inside knowledge - doesn’t the Wis. Governors partial veto authority make this constitutional?
It almost certainly is. It comports with precedent and prior Wisconsin court cases have ruled in favor of this use of the veto.
