The case was filed in Dane, but will now be appealed to a court outside of Dane Co. which will be chosen by the appellant.<br /><br />Below was cut directly from line 9 of SB 117 in regards to appeals process:<br /><br /><i>shall be heard in a court of appeals district selected by the appellant but the court of appeals district may not be the court of appeals district that contains the court from which the judgment or order is appealed.</i>Reagan's Disciplenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-13643503358807097922011-11-30T12:57:03.008-06:002011-11-30T12:57:03.008-06:00Anonymous,

Each has powers to "check and balance" the other. <br /><br />There is a document called the Wisconsin Constitution. If the legislature passes a law that a citizen asserts violates the Constitution, that person gets to go to a place called a "court" which is in the judicial branch. The court then decides if the legislature passed an unconstitutional law. <br /><br />That's how our systme works.Lester Pinesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-41270087775670418232011-11-30T12:50:45.927-06:002011-11-30T12:50:45.927-06:00To Reagan's Disciple,

That law was passed after we filed the lawsuit but the law would have been irrelevant anyway because it is the plaintiff who chooses where the lawsuit will be commenced against the state. The new law does not give the state the right to move the case to a different circuit court. <br /><br />And, by the way, you are wrong if you think that the judges in Dane County always rule against the state. It was a Dane County judge who upheld the Marriage Amendment.Lester Pinesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-29714398916132278302011-11-30T09:22:21.273-06:002011-11-30T09:22:21.273-06:00@Ted- - Thank you.
