Wisconsin State Jounral headline, 3/5/2022
Bingo! Right there in the headline.
Here's the lede. (With emphasis added.)
A day after losing before Wisconsin's high court, Republicans detailed plans Friday to take their redistricting fight to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Republicans asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday to block the ruling it issued on Thursday so they could pursue their appeal before the nation's top court.
Right to the point.
