Diane Sykes gets to the 7th Circuit and this poor state Supreme Court justice gets stuck on the district court?
This guy?
Butler was defeated by the Judge Michael Gableman in the April 1, 2008 elections. Butler was the first sitting Wisconsin Supreme Court justice to be defeated in a reelection campaign since 1967. The Wall Street Journal argued this loss stemmed from opinions he wrote in medical malpractice, search and seizure and products liability cases
Yes, click on the tag for past posts about Butler.
Oh, I guess there is very little. Sorry. We have elections, and the people of Wisconsin preferred a more conservative judge. Barack Obama has the appointment power, and he tends to pick liberal judges. That's the way it goes.
Eh, it gives Sensenbrenner something to complain about.
Here is post from the Powerline guys regarding Justice Butler.

One of the quotes from their article:
"His decisions were so outside the mainstream that the people of Wisconsin -- a "purple" state with a progressive tradition -- voted him out of office"
