“Club for Growth asks U.S. Supreme Court to halt John Doe probe”

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

A conservative group and one of its directors appealed to the nation’s highest court Wednesday as they sought to end for good a stalled secret probe into Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign and allied groups.

In the appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Wisconsin Club for Growth and its director, Eric O’Keefe, sought to overturn a September decision by the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago, which threw out the conservatives’ lawsuit and told them to pursue their claims through ongoing cases in state court.

A state judge has already put the probe on hold while the matter is being considered by the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which took separate preliminary actions on several related cases Wednesday.
