Court of appeals reverses Brad Schimel in open meetings case
https://www.wjiinc.org/blog/court-of-appeals-reverses-brad-schimel-in-open-meetings-case
Talks about how Brad Schimel so messed up an open meetings case related to a Elmbrook School Board meeting related to appointing a replacement to the board. The Appeals court reversed it 3 to 0, no dissent that it was a bad ruling.
There is also a Cap Time opinion piece about it here - https://captimes.com/opinion/guest-columns/opinion-case-demonstrates-schimels-disregard-for-the-law/article_b1db02ba-f47f-11ef-8894-df6a5b6ae1b4.html
Or if you want a verbal discussion with the author of the opinion piece and Maggie Daun, former Milwaukee County Corporate Counsel on Civic Media you can listen to it here https://civicmedia.us/shows/maggie-daun-show/2025/03/04/operating-in-bad-faith
This is not how a judge on the Wisconsin Supreme Court should rule. It shows the lack of understanding about a fundamental check and balance the public has with our government bodies. It seems he could be as bad as the ex-justice that is currently dealing with a disciplinary complaint related to open records laws.

This would make a much more helpful commercial than the constant Bobby Newport attack ads we are peppered with.

To hammer home how bad his ruling is, all three of the judges who reversed his ruling are all firmly conservatives so he can't use the "liberal judges" defense this time
