MADISON, Wis. -
Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Shirley Abrahamson says she is dropping her appeal of a federal court ruling upholding her replacement as chief justice.
Abrahamson said Monday even if she had won, it could take years and be a "hollow victory" as it could be close to the end of her term.

Justice delayed is Justice denied. Good to see the shoe on the other foot.
She KNOWS she would lose her appeal. It’s just that simple.
Reminds me of the case in Bleak House, Jarndyce v. Jarndyce where the fortune that was being fought over disappeared to years of litigation. The taxpayers replace the key characters in this modern version.
I can’t say for sure either way. I just assumed that since as it was a government official, I would, once again, get screwed.
minus “as” of course.
“So the hissy-fit is over.”
Yes, it must be a bitter pill for this old Marxist bitch to swallow watching the reformation of Wisconsin and knowing that all the $hit she did is going to be going away!
Just checked her Wiki:
Abrahamson has authored more than 450 majority opinions and participated in more than 3500 written decisions of the court. She has been involved in deciding more than 10,000 petitions for review, bypasses, certifications and lawyer and judicial discipline cases.
She’s done as a Justice because she will never live long enough to be “reappointed” as she’s 81 and will be 85 when her current term is up. But having been on the court since 1979, she’s done a lot of damage that will take time to put right.
I hope it is becoming clear to all that courts are not all that Supreme.
I am “involved” in a similar case.....two cousins who hate each other arguing over every single dish, fork, and bowl in the estate they each own 50% of. Every single piece of thrift-store grade crud has to be argued over, I have never seen anything like it. Together, they have spent over $100K in legal fees arguing over worst case $10K (being VERY generous....my estimate would be more like $2000) worth of household crap. That is, if they just *had* to have it. They are arguing over giant trashy (IMO) looking buffet-grade silver-plate serving trays. I am talking about 20 pound trays 2-1/2 feet wide that wouldn’t look right unless there was 65 pounds of meat on them, meanwhile, neither of them can lift the trays with nothing on them. They both believe, I guess, they are going to host 55-person dinner parties. They both already have tons of this crap. What is the 17th glass serving bowl worth? The attys on the other side are goading their client to constantly escalate the pissing match and just loving it at $475 an hour.
It actually angers me, because of the amount of money that is being flushed down the toilet.
Rose bird by any other name.
My Great Great Grandfather filed a lawsuit on behalf of his siblings against their other half siblings over their father’s estate. It was the longest lived lawsuit in the history of the state of Georgia and the record still stands.
At the end, the fortune was gone. The Civil War, Confederate Bonds, Sherman’s March to the Sea, and the freeing of the slaves had no small part in the outcome.
Some disputes don’t belong in the courts.
If I never meet this evil woman, I will consider it a blessing and a reward of grace, for which I will be eternally thankful.
Good news from the old witch.
