"Liberals win control of Wisconsin Supreme Court ahead of abortion case."
That's the headline at The Washington Post.
I remember when it was considered important at least to pretend that judicial elections where nonpartisan and that judges decided cases according to something that was quaintly called "the law."
The article does throw a crumb of nostalgia to those of us who remember:
Judicial candidates in Wisconsin do not run with party labels, but...
10 words and then the "but" grabs back any concession to the old pretense:
... the race was steeped in partisanship....
Lots of political money sloshed over both candidates. And:
At Protasiewicz’s victory party in downtown Milwaukee, the three liberals who sit on the court marched into the hotel ballroom arm in arm to Lizzo’s “About Damn Time.”
Marched, did they?
Speaking of "About Damn Time," there has never been a black person elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. There was one black justice appointed by the governor to fill a vacancy in 2004, but he was defeated the first time he faced an election.
"About Damn Time" begins "It's bad bitch o'clock, yeah, it's thick-thirty." That's the song they chose to blast as 3 white female justices "marched" in celebration of political power acquired through the election of another white female justice.
They later joined Protasiewicz onstage, and the four of them — the court’s incoming majority — held their hands aloft as the crowd chanted “Janet!”
Meanwhile, in the Republican camp, the loser Dan Kelly gave one of the least gracious concession speeches you will ever hear:
On Tuesday night, Kelly accused Protasiewicz of spreading “rancid slanders” and said he did not have a “worthy opponent to which I can concede.”...
“I wish Wisconsin the best of luck because I think it’s going to need it,” he said, speaking from a rural, lakeside hotel 70 miles north of Madison.
