Scott Walker is so proud tonight…
.@DonaldJTrumpJr The rule of law must be upheld – even in emergencies. Also, a good reminder of how important judicial picks are – I appointed 2 of the 4 justices on the 4 to 3 majority. https://t.co/PWwHzPlEjA — Scott Walker (@ScottWalker) May 13, 2020 .

Remember
Remember—during oral arguments, Rebecca Bradley, appointed by Scott Walker, compared stay-home orders to Japanese-American internment.
