TRI - 4/5/2023 - Reddit Rant - Rare ‘Mask Off’ Moment for Wisconsin Judiciary

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/04/us/politics/wisconsin-supreme-court-protasiewicz.html

The New York Times published a jubilant article regarding yesterday’s election for a vacant seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The winner was the candidate who campaigned as a clearly partisan political actor.

The likely fallout from such a victory will be some short term policy wins for the Democrats (how you celebrate murdering more babies is beyond me) and a continual homogenization of the political process. The virtue of having the judiciary as a co-equal 3rd branch of government is to provide a steadying hand at the tiller, relatively immune to the vagaries of the electoral mob.

No judge is completely impartial, that goes against human nature, but as an ideal it’s not a terrible thing to aspire towards. Here the Democrats have shown that’s not how you win seats on the bench.

Oh, and spending millions of dollars of out-of-state money on a state contest probably didn’t hurt either.

Like the video if you agree, comment if you don’t.
