MADISON - The Wisconsin Supreme Court voted Wednesday to keep more of its deliberations behind closed doors.

The decision — on a 5-2 vote — came amid acrimony that has come to mark the court in recent years.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court, like other courts, has always conducted its arguments on cases in public and its deliberations about those cases behind closed doors.
