Judge Panel: Abrahamson, Bradley, Crooks, Prosser, Roggensack, Ziegler, Gableman
Opinion: Miscellaneous Order
Decision: Other Pages: 9
Abrahamson, Shirley S. Wrote Concur/Dissent Opinion 19 pages.
Prosser, David T. Jr. Wrote Concurring Opinion 18 pages.
Order Text: ORD that the certification and motions for temporary relief in Case No. 11AP613-LV are denied.
FRO that the petition for original jurisdiction in Case No. 11AP765-W is granted, and all motions to dismiss and for supplemental briefing are denied.
FRO that all orders and judgments of the Dane County Circuit Court in Case No. 11CV1244 are vacated and declared to be void ab initio.
FRO that we have concluded that in enacting the Act, the legislature did not employ a process that violated Article IV, Section 10 of the Wisconsin Constitution, which provides in relevant part: "The doors of each house shall be kept open except when the public welfare shall require secrecy". The doors of the senate and assembly were kept open to the press and members of the public during the enactment of the Act. The doors of the senate parlor, where the joint committee on conference met, were open to the press and members of the public. WisconsinEye broadcast the proceedings live. Access was not denied. There is no constitutional requirement that the legislature provide access to as many members of the public as wish to attend meetings of the legislature or meetings of legislative committees.

Shirley S. Abrahamson, C.J., Ann Walsh Bradley and N. Patrick Crooks, J.J., concur in part and dissent in part from this order.
Ann Walsh Bradley and N. Patrick Crooks, J.J., join concur/dissent writing of C.J. Abrahamson.
Shirley S. Abrahamson, C.J., and Ann Walsh Bradley, J., join concur/dissent writing of N. Patrick Crooks.
