While the default right-of-way rule for vehicles under Wis. Stat. 346.18(1) could plausibly cover airplanes, the WI Supreme Court did not believe the Legislature intended it to do so and the Court was unsure how some terms like “intersection” would apply to air highways.
Air Wisconsin, Inc. v North Central Airlines, Inc., 98 Wis. 2d 301, 321 (1980).
"Under legal pressure to address Wisconsin’s 'Swiss cheese' and oddly shaped districts, the Legislature approved redrawn maps that promise to create a new dynamic in a state known for its pivotal role in national politics."
Contiguity helps prevent this legislative evil (you may have never heard of it) called gerrymandering. Not that the legislature would ever do that? Ammirite? Right?
Chief Justice Ziegler explains that the majority opinion does not address various issues (Notably they each have their own section in the majority opinion).
And then it’s back to… this? This kind of mudslinging on specific justices sitting on the court is disgusting and beneath the honor of the court.
Handmaiden of the Republican Party seems likely to adopt the independent state legislature theory which would throw states with gerrymandered districts into perpetual authoritarianism. 🤷♂️
Handmaiden of the Republican Party completely mischaracterizing what the majority said entirely so as to portray them as intentionally breaking the law.
Totally normal.
Everything’s fine at the #Wisconsin Supreme Court.
