WisconsinEye won't agree to broadcast delay in Doe arguments

MADISON - Wisconsin's version of C-SPAN won't agree to delay broadcasts of oral arguments before the Supreme Court in a lawsuit challenging an investigation into Gov. Scott Walker's recall campaign.

Eight unnamed petitioners are trying to halt the so-called John Doe probe. The high court is expected to hear oral arguments April 17 and April 20.

John Doe probes are secret, which can make the arguments awkward. The petitioners' attorneys want WisconsinEye to broadcast the arguments with a slight delay, allowing for editing out of any names or material that's secret.
