The conservative meltdown on Wisconsin's Supreme Court just got worse
Now Wisconsin's other far-right justice is losing her shit over the fact that liberals just took a majority on the state Supreme Court for the first time in 15 years.
Even before progressive Janet Protasiewicz was sworn in on Aug. 1 following her landslide victory at the ballot box earlier this year, conservative Justice Rebecca Bradley began having an epic meltdown, as chronicled in delicious detail by law professor Quinn Yeargain. Most telling of all was her rant that her fellow jurists amounted to no more than "politicians wearing robes." That, of course, was pure projection: Just last week, Bradley was seen attending the Republican presidential debate in Milwaukee and partying at a Koch event afterward.
But Bradley's comrade in arms, Chief Justice Annette Ziegler, is no less apoplectic. Ziegler now appears to be leaking internal court emails venting about her liberal colleagues that she thinks will make them look bad. In reality, they only reflect poorly on her.
