Wisconsin Supreme Court flips liberal, creating a ‘seismic shift’

MADISON, Wis. — Standing in the marble-lined rotunda of the state capitol this month, the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s incoming justice raised her right hand, swore to carry out her job “faithfully and impartially” and launched a new, liberal era on a powerful court long dominated by conservatives.

Within days, the new majority stripped duties from the court’s conservative chief justice and fired its administrative director, a conservative former judge who once ran for the court. The abrupt changes prompted the chief justice to accuse her liberal colleagues of engaging in “nothing short of a coup.” Before long, Republican lawmakers threatened to impeach the court’s newest member.

Rhetorical question. When did our very liberties and right to self-government fall prey to Leftist political judges?

1930s?

The problem will be the elections.

The problem is that the Democrats are going to do ballot harvesting in '24. So Wisconsin will be out of play.

The Republicans were able to clean up the elections in Florida.

We needed to clean up Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and Wisconsin if we're going to have a chance in '24.

So far, we've just done one. That's in North Carolina. That's not enough.

We dropped the ball on WI. And we can't afford to do that.
