What happened in Wisconsin WashTimesOpEd
Liberal Judge Janet Protasiewicz handily defeated former Justice Daniel Kelly in the race for an open seat on the state Supreme Court.
Twelve years’ worth of pent-up frustration on the left was unleashed in this one election. Turnout surged in places like Madison, Milwaukee, and on college campuses across Wisconsin. Her message was simple: If you don’t like these common-sense conservative reforms, vote for me and I’ll tip the balance of the high court against them. That message also appealed to a significant number of out-of-state donors who fueled her fundraising advantage over the judicial conservative Justice Kelly.
One of the big issues in the election was abortion. Judge Protasiewicz’s ads made it clear she believes in abortion on demand. She implied that her election might return the state to the former Roe v. Wade status. In addition, a move to restore collective bargaining under the guise of a Constitutional right would take money from the classroom and hurt students. This would finally reveal the fight against our reforms was really about power and not about children.
