In a significant development for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Justice Ann Walsh Bradley has announced she will not seek reelection next year, with her current term ending on July 31, 2025. This decision has stirred up the race for control of the court, as it could potentially shift the balance of power from the current 4-3 liberal majority. The announcement has improved the odds for conservatives to regain the majority they lost last year. The race for her seat is already heating up, with conservative and former Attorney General Brad Schimel announcing his candidacy. This news has far-reaching implications for the state's judicial landscape and political dynamics in the swing state.
I blogged many, many words about Ann Walsh Bradley, back in 2011, the days of the Wisconsin protests, e.g., "No criminal charges against Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser or Justice Anne Walsh Bradley in the so-called 'chokehold' incident," "I've finally waded through the 'chokehold' investigation file," and — sorry this is coming up on the morning of the obituary for O.J. Simpson — "Attacks upon the neck."

Winsconsin has one of the more sensible ways of picking judges, and you still get these oddballs. Wasn't there a chief justice who sued in Federal Court because she didn't like a law forcing her to step down? Amazing.
The worst state courts are those with lifetime appointments by the Governor. You can't trust the judges to behave themselves. The people need a way to boot them out when they go crazy.
"Justice" Bradley defamed Prosser. She was the aggressor in that situation. She is just a dishonest person.
She is a poster child for the activist left judiciary and the general fall of that branch of government.
I’m finding it hard to believe that I’ve been reading your blog that many years.
And honestly it’s the only blog I follow.
Always believe the woman.
I’d like to think she has enough of a conscience to choose not to participate in what the court intends to do in November. I’d like to think that…my guess is the liberals that be want a younger, more aggressive liberal…
Justice Bradley behaved badly.
I'm fully confident that Wisconsin Republican Party can screw this up.
The only way to select judges is the Nebraska way. Lawyers apply. A commission of lay people and lawyers then send on the most qualified people to the Governor. The Governor then appoints the judge. The judges then stand for retention in an election. No corrupt judicial campaigns.
Part of me is hoping the conservative block wins and turns around and reverses all of the actions of the liberals. But the rest of me is disheartened that the judiciary has turned into such a farce. If the law is what 51% of bench says it is on any given day, we're heading to tyranny. On the other hand, failing to reverse the liberals will guarantee a ratchet to the left as liberals make "new law" whenever they have power and the conservatives respect stare decisis. Not what I was counting on watching in my golden years!
Ben Wikler is already combing through his files of known democrat pedophile lawyers to start campaigning for. Maybe Brett Blomme will get pardoned by pedophile teacher protwctor/WEAC hack Toby Evers by then? Or perhaps Adam Westbrook before he is sentenced?
I hope the next elected judge is a man. There are too many white woman on the Court. It's unbalanced. More Diversity is needed.
Summer of '25 is in post apocalyptic time. All the drama will be complete. We will observe through which slit the photon passes, we will have seen the pips on the die, we will collapse the wave function to a deterministic solution. The fate of the Cat will be known.
The Wisconsin SC political majority will be an afterthought.
Let a small monument to the justice of Wisconsin be made, in clay.

Exactly.
Scott Pressler was right. Down ballot is important & Republicans never got it.
