Rule of law on the ballot in Wisconsin Supreme Court justice runoff election WashTimesOpEd
The most interesting and perhaps most important single political campaign this year is occurring right now over the seventh and decisive seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
A Wisconsin Supreme Court with Judge Protasiewicz would also almost certainly lead to greater tolerance of criminality, an important consideration in a state that in recent years has been rocked by riots in Kenosha and a racially motivated mass killing in Waukesha. Judge Protasiewicz has indicated that she will find a right to abortion in the state constitution if such a case arrived at the court. Justice Kelly has insisted, correctly, that a judge takes cases as they come and has refused to take a position.
One of the accelerants to this particular contest is that the election is for a 10-year term, so it has a certain fin-de-siecle overtone. At the same time, Wisconsin has been trending, if haltingly, Republican over the last few election cycles. In 2008, President Barack Obama won the state by 400,000 votes. Eight years later, President Donald Trump won Wisconsin by about 23,000 votes.
