Wisconsin Republicans Really Hate U.S. Constitution, Abrahamson Looks Likely to Prevail

[midnight]

Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson's suit in federal court alleges violations of the U.S. Constitution's Due Process and Equal Protection clauses, and she and voters are likely to prevail.

"[Coplaintiffs] Joseph P. Heim, David Perkins, John V. Lien, Marilyn Wittry, and Hilde Adler are registered voters in the state of Wisconsin who supported the successful 2009 reelection campaign of Chief Justice Abrahamson and voted for her with the expectation that her successful reelection, in which she campaigned as 'Wisconsin’s Chief,' would keep her in the position of Chief Justice until her term expires in 2019, absent her resignation, death, disability, or recall," reads the complaint, Abrahamson et al v. Neitzel et. (Wisconsin State Journal)

Abrahamson defeated Randy R. Koschnick, garnering almost 60 percent of the vote. (Wisconsin GAB)

A victory in federal court would keep Abrahamson as Chief Justice until 2019, just as voters elected her in 2009.

1. I sure hope she wins this. We need her in the Chief position to help temper the right.

2. She should prevail-she has the law on her side.
