Chris Taylor was not running as a Democrat, she was running as a liberal. Just like the 5 successful liberal SCOWI justices before her. Liberals have been winning landslides in Wisconsin since 2015, while Democrats keep losing, or barely eking out a win.

Judge Maria Lazar pulled out the big guns. In her new ad, she talks about her opponent’s record on transgender rights with a Trumpian cruelty that will not win her the election, but will cause damage nonetheless.

In the last two elections, voters gave the highest court in the state a mandate to fix Wisconsin’s broken democracy. They are letting us down. Their fear of being accused of politicizing the courts leads the liberal majority to make highly political decisions favoring Republican congresspeople.
