and each was enlightening.
We talked about voter laws, registrations, mail in voting and other election topics, years ago, that are relevant today.
She supported the easiest access to voting and the broadest ability to cast a ballot for all Wisconsinites.

Wisconsin lost an intelligent and articulate interpreter of all laws.

The right-wing coup by the NeoCon Justices to unseat Abrahamson, and the century old tradition that the Chief was the most senior justice, was despicable and should show all WIsconsinites, that they need to vote out every Republican judge.

Now we have a state court that is more than happy to allow frivolous lawsuits, like Trump's voter fraud case(s), to be heard. This current court is stacked with conspiracy nuts and jurists who do not research the cases they are hearing. Example: Chief Roggensack's concern about ballots being given in events at parks, when news had already shown not one unmarked ballot was given out during those events. Only completed ballots would be accepted, by authorized agents of the city clerks. She could watch the news and avoided showing how little she knew about the case before hearing arguments. Where are the staffers who should have provided these facts to the Justices?

This is not how any court should operate. Wisconsin's Supreme Court motto,
" Our mind is made up. Don't confuse us with the facts."
