High court shuns truth in advertising
Permit me to fantasize for a moment. Fifteen years ago, our Supreme Court had an opportunity to rule that “truth in advertising” applied to Supreme Court elections. It failed to do so. It also failed to rule to the contrary. Instead, the court tied 3-3, and in Wisconsin our rules do not allow a tie-breaker.
