NEXT
TUESDAY
VOTERS
STATEWIDE
WILL NARROW THE
FIELD
OF
CANDIDATES
RUNNING
FOR
THE
WISCONSIN SUPREME
COURT DOWN TO
TWO.
INCUMBENT
JUSTICE
DANIEL
KELLY
IS
CHALLENGED
BY
MARQUETTE
LAW
PROFESSOR ED
FALLONE
AND DANE
COUNTY
CIRCUIT
COURT
JUDGE JILL KAROFSKY.
ALL
THREE
HAVE
APPEARED
ON "HERE AND NOW."
HERE THEY ARE
SPEAKING
ABOUT
THEIR
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
IN THE
ORDER
OF
THEIR
APPEARANCES ON
OUR
PROGRAM. >>
OUR
ROLE
IN
THAT
IS
TO
SIMPLY
APPLY THE
LAW AS
IT
EXISTS.
WE'RE
THERE
TO
EXERCISE THE
JUDICIAL
POWER,
TO
APPLY
THE LAW
TO THE
CASE
IN
FRONT
OF
US.
PEOPLE
HAVE
NOT ASKED
US
TO
LEGISLATURE SLAIJ FROM
THE
BUNCH.
THEY'VE
GOT A
LEDGE ARCHITECTURE.
SO
WE
DON'T
MAKE
THE
LAW,
WE
DON'T
IGNORE THE
LAW,
WE
DON'T
PLAY FAVORITES WITH THE
LAW.
WE
SIMPLY
APPLY
THE
LAW
WITH
NEITHER
FEAR
NOR
FAVOR
FOR
ANY
PERSON OR
PARTY. >> I
HAVE
STOOD
FOR
THINGS
LIKE
FIGHTING
FOR
OUR
EQUAL
PROTECTION UNDER
THE
LAW,
FIGHTING
FOR
OUR
FREE
SPEECH,
PRINCIPLES GROUNDED
IN
OUR
CONSTITUTION.
THEY'RE
NOT
PARTISAN
PRINCIPLES.
THEY'RE THE
SAME
PRINCIPLES
I'LL
FIGHT FOR WHEN
I
TAKE
THE
OATH
OF OFFICE ON
THE
BENCH. >>
I'M
THE
ONLY
PERSON
IN
THIS
RACE
WHO HAS
BEEN A
TRIAL
COURT
JUDGE,
PRESIDING
OVER MORE THAN
1700
CASES LAST YEAR.
I
WILL
SEE
HOW
THE
LAW
IMPACTS
REAL PEOPLE.
I ALSO
HAVE
EXPERIENCE AS A
PROSECUTOR.
I
KNOW
HOW TO
BE
SMART
ON
CRIME.
I
KNOW
THE
IMPORTANCE OF
PROTECTING INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF
VICTIMS,
WITNESSES,
OF
DEFENDANTS, OF MEMBERS
OF
OUR
COMMUNITY. >>
