Wisconsin just elected a leftist Jewish woman to its Supreme Court. She defeated a Trump-backed sitting justice. That's not a good sign for November:
>Liberal Jill Karofsky defeats conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court justice Daniel Kelly
>Dane County Circuit Judge Jill Karofsky won the race for Wisconsin Supreme Court, narrowing the conservative majority after a tumultuous election conducted in the midst of a global pandemic, according to unofficial results released Monday.
>Karofsky’s victory marked the first time in a dozen years that a Supreme Court challenger beat an incumbent — and just the second time in more than half a century. Her win over Justice Daniel Kelly will shift conservative control of the court from 5-2 to 4-3...
>The differences between Karofsky and Kelly couldn't have been more stark.
>Kelly wrote a decision that found Madison could not bar guns on its buses, argued the U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage undermined democracy, compared abortion to murder, and praised a decision that upheld Act 10, the 2011 law that scaled back collective bargaining for public workers.
>Karofsky said she believes there are constitutional ways to put restrictions on guns, supports same-sex marriage, considers abortion to be a matter between a woman and her doctor, and backs collective bargaining.
>Karofsky signed the recall petition against Walker, the Republican governor who put Act 10 in place and later placed Kelly on the high court.
>President Donald Trump endorsed Kelly. Former Vice President Joe Biden endorsed Karofsky, as did U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders just before dropping out of the presidential race.
