[Lekooks] Vote in the primary for Supreme Court on Tuesday!

[Kerry Duma]

Dear fellow kooks,

*Please be sure to make time to vote in Tuesday's primary for state Supreme
Court! *

Scott Walker recently appointed Rebecca Bradley onto the court after the
death of Patrick Crooks.  She is a staunch conservative .  The two other,
more liberal candidates are JoAnne Kloppenburg and Martin Joseph Donald.

These days, so much legislation ends up in the courts, our supreme court
wields enormous power in how our state is run.

I don't want to endorse candidates on our LCUUC group email, but I
definitely have an opinion about who to vote for - email me if you'd like
to talk about it.

Here's an excerpt about Rebecca Bradley from an article in the
Journal/Sentinel in October when Bradley was appointed to the court by
Walker:

*She has served as president of the Milwaukee chapter of the Federalist
Society, a conservative lawyers group, and has belonged to the Republican
National Lawyers Association.*


*Bradley will join the court at a time when it has been divided bitterly,
both ideologically and personally, but said she expected to work well with
her new colleagues.*

*Bradley's appointment will give conservatives a 5-2 majority on the court.
Crooks had been a swing vote, sometimes siding with the conservatives and
sometimes siding with the liberals, but conservatives usually got their way
because they had an outright four-member majority. *

In faith,
Kerry
