2. "Why was a state law that conflicts with a superceding Federal law passed in the first place?"

The Republican-controlled Wisconsin Legislature, recognizing the conflict, attempted to bring the state into compliance with federal law with a bill last session. The Senate passed it 31-1, but it never got a vote in the Assembly.


(highlighted part) is why.

The GOP believed it was extra-Constitutional and could cause spiteful chaos... but have now created a mess for themselves and their mafiosi leader who actually won their state. It appears that they want to get the courts to invalidate their own law since the babies apparently can't do it themselves. A quick scan shows that Evers *could* try to call a special session for them to resolve it but it doesn't look like (at this time) this will happen.
