Naw.

DEFINITELY Naw.

Basically all you need to know is that Kavanaugh ended those hearing complaining about liberals and anti-Trump conspiracies, which means he has absolutely no qualification to be on the Supreme Court, which is supposed to be the last bastion of partisan free politics left in the country.

This is of course not the case, but they are at least supposed to pretend.

It's very sad. Basically the only sliver of hope Wisconsin has of not being a de facto one-party state (with minority vote count holding a supermajority of power) is that the Wisconsin Supreme Court seats are filled by elections. Any other elected position the Republicans legislate power away from if they lose (and of course give power to if they win), and the state court is currently their rubber stamp machine. They gambled on the health of the people in the state that during a pandemic surely they could solidify their control of the court with lower liberal turnout, and they lost.

The bad part is even if the Republicans' blatant use of political power to stay in power is ended by the court no longer being a rubber stamp machine, the court will still have been politicized. It's very sad even the courts are now partisan tools.
