Wisconsin Supreme Court Debate: Abortion, Claims of Lying, and Politics

Wisconsin’s only debate for state Supreme Court was quick, rough-and-tumble, and didn’t really cover anything new. Liberal Judge Janet Protasiewicz and conservative former Justice Dan Kelly met Tuesday afternoon in Madison for the only debate in the race. The debate was sponsored by The State Bar of Wisconsin and a Madison TV station. As expected, Protasiewicz talked about her “values,” and Kelly hammered at her being overtly political with those values. “I have been clear that any decision that I render will be made based solely on the law and the Constitution,” Protasiewicz said. “I have told everyone ‘I am making no promises to you.'"
