Janet P, the California candidate!
We are about to learn just how sincere our liberal … acquaintances are about that supposed bane of good gummint: Out-of-state money from high-roller donors. Because their favorite candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court is making the big haul in her bid to flip the court to a 4 to 3 progressive advantage.
In just the last week since 02-07-23, pro-abortion, pro-union candidate Janet Protasiewicz raked in $195,501 in 58 donations of at least $1,000 each. Only six of of those checks were postmarked Wisconsin for a total of $7,500. Two made out checks for $20,0000 — one each from Luis and Lee Lanier who live on Bellagio Road, Los Angeles. In fact, 27 of the 58 big-dollar gives came out of California; 8 more from New York state. Outside of Wisconsin, none came from the Midwest.
The other progressive candidate, Everett Mitchell, tallied only two big checks in the special reporting period, totaling $3,500. Both out of state. The WI Democratic Party threw in another $7,550. Guess Protasiewicz didn’t need it.
On the conservative side, former justice Dan Kelly took in one lonely $1,000 check from a donor in Waukesha WI. Send that man a valentine card!
Jennifer Dorow cast a larger net. The Waukesha circuit judge hauled in $50,300 from 20 donors in the last week — all of them from Wisconsin! Michael Grebe, former state party chairman, is the most notable name on Dorow’s list. By state law, from Feb. 6 on, candidates must also report any donation over $1,000 from a single source.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: Do NOT under-estimate how bad coastal liberals want to control Wisconsin’s highest court.

IF Judge P. manages to buy her way onto the Court, couldn’t she be forced to recuse herself from any cases involving abortion or unions, given her public pronouncements? Just curious.

The Janet Protasiewicz yard signs are already blooming in Madison–right next to the Mandela Barnes yard signs left over from November–three in my neighborhood alone. I wonder if there are any Russ Feingold signs still standing. Nobody does denial like Madison liberals.

No one does EPIC HYPOCRISY like despicable Lefty.
To wit: If you can stomach it, give a listen to denizens of the 77 Square Miles Surrounded By A Sea Of Reality slobber inconsolably about the misrepresentative dangers of one-party rule in the State Assembly.
Then remind them of the…um…makeup of the CommonSENSELESS Council, and the MMSD and Dane County Boards; then watch their eyes glaze over and the smoke spew out of the ears of their empty heads.
Same thing with money in politics.
If it weren’t for double standards, despicable Lefty’d have no standards at all!

Janet Protasiewicz, is just another single issue politician. What I want in a judge is someone who applies the rule of law, the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin and the Constitution of the United States to every decision they make on the bench.
When she decides to become a judge rather than a politician I may or may not support her. Till then, she is just another politician.

“Rule of Law?” Not in the lefties lexicon.
