governor of the state was making an argument to the state supreme court this week about why governor tony evers-home orders were so important, why they shouldn't be overturned. the court's conservative chief justice interrupted the lawyer with a remark that for a lot of folks i think really seems to clarify and sum up what has been going on here. >> the cases in brown county in the span of two weeks surged over tenfold from 60 to almost 800. that's two weeks that would be required for emergency rule making so -- >> that's where the brown county got the flare. it wasn't just the regular folks in brown county. >> the giant outbreak in brown county wasn't the regular folks there. it was just the meatpacking people, not the regular people. so you can't really call that a point of concern. it's not the regular -- we're starting to get a sense of why these huge outbreaks in the middle of our country seem not to be causing any concern whatsoever among lots of political leaders. at least no concern beyond what effect the outbreaks might conceivably have on the plants themselves as opposed to the thousa

joyce, i had a conversation hours after this happened with tony evers. the governor of wisconsin. i was trying to get a read on it. i wish i just talked to you first. this seems to be the supreme court in wisconsin seems to be talking about the governor having exceeded authority because he can sort of determine a stay-at-home order for a certain amount of time. the pandemic represents an ongoing issue and that goes beyond what the state executive can do. at that point, the legislature has to be involved in that. is that close to a correct read on this? >> i think you got it just right, ali. it's a very political decision. this breaks with the wisconsin supreme court proud tradition of forward thinking. legal analysis. what wisconsin did here is they permitted the state assembly and state senate, the same people who enacted the broad emergency hours bill a couple of years ago, to come to the wisconsin supreme court and challenge the constitutionality. even one of the conservative justices sdwroi s joined the li calling it unfathomable. it under cut the governor's ability to issue a

state no longer under this safer at home order after the state supreme court overturned governor tony evers extension and the health department's extension through may 26th. now, the ruling reads in part that an agency cannot confer on itself the power to dictate the lives of law abiding individuals as prehence civilly as the -- comprehensively as the order does. that's what it came down to. republican lawmakers felt that the order itself overstepped the governor's authority and that the extension would cause too many residents to lose their jobs and too many companies to be adversely affected. that's why it was filed in the first place. democratic governor tony eastbounder says it's a mistake. >> today, wisconsin republican legislators and those supreme court justices decided that facts don't matter and the staut utes don't matter. there's no regulations out there right now, period. now we have no plan and we have no protections for the people of wisconsin. this will cause the -- us to have spikes across the state. there's no question about it. >> reporter: now, despite warnings from healt
