Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate focuses on parade crash

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A conservative candidate in a pivotal race for Wisconsin Supreme Court is using video images of an SUV that drove through a Christmas parade in suburban Milwaukee, killing six people, in her first television ad of the race released Thursday.

Waukesha County Circuit Judge Jennifer Dorow gained national attention for presiding over the trial of Darrell Brooks, whom a jury convicted of six homicide counts. Dorow sentenced Brooks to life in prison with no chance of release and launched her candidacy for Supreme Court two weeks later.

Dorow is one of four candidates, and one of two conservatives, in the race for an open state Supreme Court seat that will determine whether the court remains under conservative control or flips to liberals. Both sides see the race as crucial because of the court’s role as the final word in battleground Wisconsin, where the Legislature is controlled by Republicans and the governor is a Democrat.

Whoever wins the April 4 election will determine majority control for the next two years. That period includes the 2024 presidential election. The state Supreme Court ruled against former President Donald Trump in a lawsuit he brought after the 2020 election in which he tried to disqualify enough votes to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory.

1. My Right-wing relatives in WI...

Think (or at least say) that Darrel Brooks was some sort of left-wing /antifa agent taking revenge for the Rittenhouse ruling. That is what is being circulated in Fakebook on the right here.

2. Dark money paying for very ugly ads

Graduated from Regent U School of Law, founded by Pat Robertson. As did other regressive candidate Daniel Kelly. Ugh.

Wisconsiners, vote in February 21 primary! Two crap candidates (see above), two decent ones. We have to get at least one of the good ones on the April 4 ballot. Janet Protasiewicz or Everett Mitchell.
