It came on a close 4-3 vote, but the Wisconsin Supreme Court has restored 82 people who had been appointed to state positions by former Governor Scott Walker.

The Tuesday order is considered to be a victory for Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature. They had said the appointees were legally confirmed and they should be able to keep their jobs.
