“Legislative inaction following judicial construction of a statute, while not conclusive, evinces legislative approval of the interpretation.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage
e.g. 381 Wis. 2d 522 - State v. Shaun M. Sanders · Wenke Ex Rel. Laufenberg v. Gehl Co.
“[W]e agree with Mr. Eichman that there is a distinction, albeit a fine one, between "suppressing" evidence and "excluding" evidence. The former generally bars admission of evidence at trial as a result of governmental misconduct, such as a constitutional violation. The latter generally involves only a violation of the rules of evidence.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage
e.g. 387 Wis. 2d 684 - State v. Vanderhoef · State v. Noble
