The Battle for Wisconsin's Supreme Court
Wisconsin voters will elect the swing Justice on an ideologically divided state Supreme Court next week, with the refusal of progressive candidate Janet Protasiewicz to say if she would recuse herself from hearing a case she has already pre-judged raising concerns. Protasiewicz has publicly declared that she believes former Gov. Scott Walker's landmark 2011 collective-bargaining reform, known as Act 10, is unconstitutional, and even joined protests against the law and signed a petition to recall then Gov. Walker.
