MADISON, Wis. — Gov. Scott Walker has told a judge he wants to stop defending Wisconsin’s domestic-partner registry in court because he doesn’t believe it’s constitutional. Former Gov. Jim Doyle, a Democrat who proposed the registry as a means of granting same-sex couples more legal rights, chose to defend the measure and had filed a motion asking Dane County Circuit Judge Daniel Moeser for summary judgment upholding it. Walker, a Republican, inherited the case from Doyle when he took office in January.
