Is it time to overhaul state’s constitution?

Tom Sheehan in the LaCrosse Tribune on the upcoming conference at Marquette Law School on this topic.

Many of the “key issues” for the conference are outlined in terms of economic competitiveness. But Joseph “Jay” Ranney, a Madison-based constitutional lawyer, said he intends to prepare a paper on whether social policy belongs in the constitution. The discussion is particularly timely because voters will decide Nov. 7 if they want to ban same-sex marriages and civil unions in the constitution, Ranney said.
