Freer than before

Until last week, if you’d wanted to practice free speech in Wisconsin you would have been well advised to hire a good lawyer. Not a divorce lawyer, not a tax lawyer, nor a real estate lawyer. Not a criminal lawyer — well, maybe a criminal lawyer, too. But you needed to hire a free speech lawyer. Yes, they exist and they charge upwards of $200 an hour.

Because that was the tangled rat’s nest of Wisconsin administrative law governing political speech until the May 14 decision by the U.S. Appellate Court for the 7th District swept away most of it. (Wisconsin Right to Life v. Barland.)
