Wisconsin Republicans file lawsuit challenging coronavirus stay-at-home order

Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against Democratic Governor Tony Evers, challenging his stay-at-home order to contain the coronavirus outbreak as the issue of when to re-open state economies has become increasingly political.

The lawsuit asks the Wisconsin Supreme Court to issue a temporary injunction on the state's order that was extended until May 26 by the Wisconsin's department of health services secretary last week at the direction of the governor.
