A Democratic-backed Milwaukee judge won the high stakes Wisconsin Supreme Court race Tuesday, ensuring liberals will take over majority control of the court for the first time in 15 years with the fate of the state's abortion ban pending.
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Janet Protasiewicz defeated former Justice Dan Kelly, who previously worked for Republicans and had support from the state's leading anti-abortion groups. It's his second loss in a race for Supreme Court in three years. The new court controlled 4-3 by liberals is expected to decide a pending lawsuit challenging the state's 1849 law banning abortion. Protasiewicz made the issue a focus of her campaign and won the support of Planned Parenthood and other abortion rights groups.
The court is also expected to hear a new challenge to Republican-drawn legislative maps. Protasiewicz ran as a critic of the current maps, calling them"rigged." The court came within one vote of overturning President Biden's win in the state in 2020, and both major parties are preparing for another close race in 2024.for a state Supreme Court seat in U.S. history. Protasiewicz will begin her 10-year term in August. She replaces retiring conservative Justice Pat Roggensack.

The Jewish controlled media campaigned hard for the left again. Control the media, control the mind.
Incredibly sad when murdering black babies is so important to white people
Basic human rights are worthy of their time, that is a BIG fish! If we don't have basic, natural human rights what do we have afterall?
Abortions should few, legal and safe.
Getting fair maps is a bigger deal, IMO. That state kept voting to be governed by Democrats and got punitive rule by Republicans who hated them.
I feel sad for the women & girls raped in Chicago… a big loss for them. Rapists got a free pass to rape today.
Disgusting
Rigged
Get rid of gerrymandering.

The fact dems want to use the courts to overturn laws is disgusting. We are living in a tyranny of our own making.
