It's really a signal that the US has become a sliding democracy when the court system is so politicized. Judge nomination should never be dependent on politicians, and it should be based on merit of their career and formation to become a judge.
As it is, there is no clear separation of judicial power from political power. As for Wisconsin: hopefully the situation will change there, and the new court majority will break the current gerrymanders to make the state a democracy again.
Strongly agreed. To give a comparison, I'm a decently well informed Canadian. I don't know any of the judges in the Canadian Supreme Court. I can name every single one of the American Supreme Court judges and the various issues with several of them. The difference is night and day.
Exactly. It's crazy.
