People don’t tend to pay much attention to state Supreme Court races, which is too bad. No matter which state we are talking about, Supreme Courts have enormous power to define the law, and those decisions are as often as not driven by ideology as much as legal acumen.
The biggest problem? Nobody knows who the judges are and what they stand for. Voter turnout is low, and when incumbents are on the ballot, they almost always get reelected. Here in Minnesota we never get a choice who the incumbents are, because the long-established tradition is for judges to retire in off years to let the governor decide who gets on the court through appointment, and by the next election the judge is an incumbent and automatically wins.
Example from the Wisconsin Supreme Court elections.
We have absolute political activist, radical left judges who are staging nothing short…
