But boy, is this news good. Now, if we take Trent Franks US House seat and come close or win the other US House special election, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell will leave a trail of shit all the way from the Capitol to the White House.

Rebecca Dallet wins 10-year term on Wisconsin Supreme Court | Wisconsin Elections

Voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly picked Milwaukee County Judge Rebecca Dallet to serve on the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the next 10 years.

Dallet crushed Sauk County Judge Michael Screnock 56 percent to 43 percent, with 44 percent of votes counted, and is the first candidate backed by liberals to win an open seat on the state's highest court since 1995.

She replaces Justice Michael Gableman, whose decision in 2015 to not step away from a case involving the Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, which had spent millions to help elect Gableman, was a big reason Dallet decided to seek a seat on the court.

Dallet, a judge for the last 10 years, campaigned largely on changing the rules that govern when judges and Supreme Court justices should recuse themselves from cases involving top campaign donors and repeatedly criticized Gableman and the court controlled by conservatives for "doing bidding" for special interests.
