wasp-Why don't you explain to all what a right wing wacko is so governor goofy doesn't appoint one. Might be helpful in case a left wing nut job applies.

One party rule has always been corrupt, no matter which party it is. Scott Walker has proved this at every turn. Not that Patriots mind.

Wisconsin republicans have control of all branches of government.

Democrats refer to this as "having a mandate".

I don't know how they will fill that judgeship in Marathon County, it is obvious from the Gazette comments, that all the highly intelligent people are living in Rock County. (Just ask them).

I don't think governor goofy much cares how they dress or what they know. Just so they are a right wing wacko will be enough.

But don't ask the new judge to follow a dress code. We wouldn't want to offend the fragile psychy of applicants in case they are transgender, Muslim, bi-racial, etc. By the way, isn't making judges wear black robes racist?
