On March 25, between 7 and 8, WISN 12 is hosting a debate between the candidates running for the open seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. If a local station does not carry it, they will livestream on wisn DOT com.

We have all seen the Chris Taylor ad featuring a woman who was abused as a child. It sounds like someone who is running for the legislature. No wonder; she represented the Madison area for 10 years. The ad says that Taylor worked both sides of the aisle; a law was passed; and her abuser went to jail. It seems to me that this is a case of ex-post facto. (Any lawyer - let alone a candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court - would know it is forbidden in the Constitution.) The abuser belonged in jail through existing law without any new law.

I have been in the same room as Maria Lazar and believe her statement: “A judge must strike the proper balance of deference to the law as written while ensuring that each branch of government stays within its zone of authority. It is the judiciary’s role to say what the law ‘is’ not what we believe it should be. In fact, those decisions that run contrary to a judge’s own personal views are evidence that the judiciary is acting within the parameters set forth when the Country was founded.” She has only run for positions in the judicial branch (She did work work with J. B. Van Hollen's Attorney General Office.) Read: No cronies in the legislature.

I will be voting FOR Lazar. As for Taylor; her apparent lack of Constitutional knowledge - and an apparent agenda to aid her party's legislative work through the Court, I will be voting AGAINST Taylor.
