New Gov. Tony Evers got some help last week when a coalition of liberal-leaning groups filed a lawsuit which, if successful, would benefit him.

The suit seeks to overturn the laws Republican lawmakers approved last month that limit the Democratic governor's powers.

The suit argues that GOP lawmakers illegally convened the lame duck session according to a joint rule, which doesn't have the force of law.

Evers and other Democrats have blasted the lame duck bills, yet Evers predicted that outside groups would be the first to bring a lawsuit. In this week's "Capitol Notes" conversation, WUWM's Marti Mikkelson asked JR Ross of WisPolitics.com, how he thinks this will play out.
