(Wisconsin Radio Network) Another proposed amendment to the Wisconsin Constitution, this time from Freshman Democrats in the Wisconsin Legislature.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, they’re calling for the Constitution to be amended to include explicit protection for the fundamental right to privacy. Sun Prairie Representative Andrew Hysell said the federal the government is acting with impunity and running roughshod over the law and the Constitution.

And as a result, people are being harmed and even killed. He said there needs to be a response, because Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court are “not doing anything. That’s why we at the state level have to give people more protection and more rights.”

Amendments to the Wisconsin Constitution require passage in two consecutive legislative sessions before going to voters for approval. Voters will have at least two Republican authored amendments on the statewide ballot in November.

One targets DEI initiatives by prohibiting governmental bodies from “discriminating against, or granting preferential treatment” in matters of public education or employment.

The other would bar the government from closing houses of worship during times of emergency.
