Here's a copy of the ruling: documentcloud.org/documents/2117…
Vos is slated to take questions just hours before he is scheduled to begin headlining a two-day fundraiser in Key West, Florida, for the Republican Assembly Campaign Committee.
The $6,000-per-person event includes a tour of Ernest Hemingway's home and a catamaran sailing trip.

This week has started out bad for @repvos in court.
In a little over 24 hours, he lost before a circuit court judge, an appeals court and the state Supreme Court.

The state Supreme Court ruling was 4-3, with @judgehagedorn joining with the liberal justices to form a majority.
It's the latest instance of Hagedorn splitting with conservatives on a politically charged issue.

On Monday, Hagedorn also joined the liberals in ruling that Republicans in Congress could not submit a second redistricting plan, as they wanted.
That is not to say Hagedorn is always joining the liberals.
In November, he sided with the conservatives in a much more significant ruling regarding how the court would handle the redistricting case. The court's approach was a big win for the GOP.

Back to the case over depositions:
@weareoversight plans to ask @repvos about what steps he took to respond to the group's open records requests to ensure he identified all documents he was supposed to turn over.

The group has maintained Vos should have produced more documents and has asked a judge to find him in contempt of court and fine him.
Vos has said he followed the records law.

In addition to Vos, the group will be deposing Vos' staff counsel, Steve Fawcett.
Both depositions are occurring virtually.
They will not be streamed and will not be available to the public, at least not in real time.
It's possible video or transcripts will be included in future court submissions.
