Wisconsin AG Josh Kaul said checks and balances are necessary to protect the “our freedom and our liberty" at a Tuesday press conference.

Democratic AG brought challenge to one of several Republican-backed lame-duck laws that limit executive branch power.

MADISON (WKOW) — Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul is in a legal battle with the state of Wisconsin. The state Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case on Wednesday. Kaul argues that Republican lawmakers gave themselves too much oversight of Department of Justice cases with "lame duck" laws enacted six years ago.
