Get laws thrown out that were enacted in the lame duck period after Brad Schimmel lost election reelection as attorney general and Governor Scott Walker lost reelection as attorney general. Between them and then and their leaving office, They [laws] enacted laws that stripped the attorney general of many of the attorney general's powers and authority. And a lawsuit was brought into my court that challenged several of those changes and I rejected most of them. I did issue a narrow ruling that found that a part of those changes were unconstitutional. (07:26–55:57)
