The Political Environment: Calling State Ethics Legal-Eagles

Are members of the State of Wisconsin Supreme Court, their clerks, et al, bound by law, rules or code to keep confidential decisions-in-progress?

I'm throwing this out - - feel free to use the comment function - - in the context of whether information about the content, vote or timing of the ruling vindicating the State Senate's approval of the so-called " budget-repair bill," a/k/a Walker's union-busting plan. was leaked to legislators, talk show hosts or other politicos prior to its release last week?

The ruling and release absolved legislative Republicans from re-voting on the controversial measure and allowed them then to fast-track the rest of the budget with greater ease: Assembly leaders had publicly signaled to the Court that Tuesday afternoon was the legislators' deadline; the ruling was released while GOP assembly members were waiting in caucus, and others had predicted with confidence that the ruling would come down prior to legislators setting in motion their processes to re-vote.

The whole thing appeared choreographed.

Some discussion and background, here.
