James Rowen tells us that just isn't the case with Jeff Wagner:
Conservative 620 WTMJ radio talker Jeff Wagner also has a blog, and in this posting calls Wisconsin State Supreme Court Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson both a "big loser" in the Butler-Gableman race, and then a few paragraphs later "a solid favorite" to win re-election next year.
A little wobbly logic there, eh?
We've done pretty well over the years with the ones we got versus the incompeptent losers we might have gotten.
ReplyDeleteCapper, obviously I am an idiot, but I do not understand how this is "wobbly logic."
ReplyDeleteAbrahamson and her ideological ilk lost in the past election. Their solid stranglehold on the court has been loosened. Now, there is a chance of some moderation. Hence, she was one of the big losers.
At the same time, she is obviously a favorite for reelection. She is personable and a good politician, and has good name recognition. It is even less likely that a solid jurist will run against someone with her experience than they were to run against a partial term appointee who had lost previously. And, liberal groups are going to make her reelection an even more imprtant cause than they made Butler's reelection. Why isn't she a favorite? Are you conceding that the electorate does not want liberal activists on the Supreme Court?
Croc-
ReplyDeleteYou are far from an idiot. I have enough of those to contend with to know you, sir, do not fit those parameters.
I do believe that Mr. Rowen was pointing out to the poor way Wagner presented his argument. I personally did not hear the segment, but his post is rather disjointed.
