“Today the entire court was shocked to learn that a confidential draft document was ostensibly leaked to the press,” Zielger said in a statement. “I have contacted law enforcement to request that a full investigation be conducted.” She said all seven justices were “united behind this investigation to identify the source of the apparent leak. The seven of us condemn this breach.”
Ziegler is part of a three-justice conservative minority on the court. The draft order did not indicate which justices were in favor of accepting the abortion case, and there were no dissents indicated, according to Wisconsin Watch.Who can work Wisconsin’s elections?
