Sen. Michael Ellis, a Neenah Republican, sent an email to all legislators on Thursday asking for co-sponsors.
The bill comes after a multiple parties filed lawsuits challenging Republican Gov. Scott Walker's contentious law stripping most public workers of nearly all their union bargaining authority and a GOP-authored law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls.

Let's do the math. This bill could probably be rushed through the legislature and governor's office controlled by Republicans by the end of February. It's about 150 days from then until the end of July. The term of the justice elected this spring starts on August 1.
Their inventiveness never ceases to amaze.
