Wisconsin Supreme Court declines to hear case against county's mask mandate

The Wisconsin Supreme Court in a 4-3 ruling on Friday declined to consider a case by a conservative legal firm over a county’s emergency order requiring indoor masking.

The state’s high court said in its ruling that a motion toward temporary injunction against the emergency order was being dismissed “because the court is not exercising its original jurisdiction.” Additional legal challenges in the future would be left to the lower courts to decide on first, Wisconsin State Journal reported.
