% AND TAKE AND MAYBE AN ALTERNATE
% COMPROMISE PROPOSAL.
% >> IN ELECTION NEWS, FOR THE
% PAST TWO YEARS, EVERY MAJOR
% DECISION BY THE WISCONSIN
% SUPREME COURT HAS BEEN MADE BY
% ONE MAN, JUSTICE BRAN HAGEDORN
% HE OFTEN GIVES A 4-3 ADVANTAGE
% BUT HE SIDES WITH THE THREE
% LIBERALS INFURIATING HIS
% CONSERVATIVE COLLEAGUES.
% "HERE & NOW" REPORTER ZAC
% SCHULTZ REPORTS HOW HAGEDORN'S
% STREAK ON THE COURT HAS BECOME A
% FACTOR IN THE PRIMARY ELECTION
% COMING UP NEXT TUESDAY, FEBRUARY
% 21.
% >> I THINK IT'S NO SECRET HE AND
% I DISAGREED ON SIGNIFICANT
% CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTIONS.
% >> OF THE FOUR CANDIDATES
% RUNNING FOR THE WISCONSIN
% SUPREME COURT, DANIEL KELLY IS
% THE MOST OUTSPOKEN ABOUT JUSTICE
% BRIAN HAGEDORN.
% >> IT'S NOT PERSONAL OPINION,
% IT'S NOT PREFERENCES.
% THIS IS WHAT THE LAW REQUIRES.
% SO WE DISAGREE ON A PROFOUND
% LEVEL ON SIGNIFICANT ISSUES.
% >> KELLY AND HAGEDORN WERE ON
% THE COURT TOGETHER ONE YEAR
% BEFORE KELLY LOST HIS
% RE-ELECTION BID IN 2020.
% THEY WERE ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF
% THE WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE VERSUS
% POLE IN BATTLING THE PANDEMIC.
% AFTER KELLY LOST HAGEDORN'S
% PROMINENCE INCREASED AND HE
% SIDED WITH LIBERALS TO KEEP THE
% GREEN PARTY CANDIDATES OFF THE
% BALLOT AND IN THE GO FORWARD
% WHERE DONALD TRUMP TRIED TO
% THROW OUT SOME ELECTIONS.
% >> HE WAS ELECTED AND WHEN HIS
% TERM WAS UP IF HE CHOOSES TO RUN
% AGAIN HE WILL NEED TO MAKE A
% REPORT OF HIS WORK TO THE PEOPLE
% OF WISCONSIN.
% >> BRIAN HAGEDORN DECLINED TO
% COMMENT FOR THE STORY.
% HIS TERM IS NOT OVER UNTIL 2029
% BUT IT HASN'T STOPPED KELLY FROM
% USING HAGEDORN AS A FOIL TELLING
% VOTERS THEY SHOULDN'T SERVE FOR
% CANDIDATE DOROW BECAUSE SHE
% COULD BE ANOTHER HAGEDORN.
% >> YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ELECT
% A CANDIDATE TO FIND OUT IF THEY
% ARE A CONSTITUTIONAL
% CONSERVATIVE.%THAT WAS THE P
OSITION WE WERE IN
% WITH BRIAN HAGEDORN.
% IT DOESN'T WORK OUT SO WELL.
% >> JENNIFER DOROW HAD LITTLE TO
% SAY ABOUT JUSTICE HAGEDORN
% EXCEPT TO NOTE WHOEVER WINS THE
% ELECTION WILL BE SERVING WITH
% HIM ON THE COURT.
% >> I CAN'T SPEAK FOR HIM OR HIS
% METHODOLOGY.
% WHAT I CAN DO IS FOCUS ON WHAT I
% WILL BRING TO THE COURT AND THAT
% IS AN UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO
% BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL TO APPLY
% THE LAW TO THE FACTS OF EACH
% CASE.
% TO BRING COLLEGIALITY TO THE
% COURT AS WELL.
% TO WORK WITH ALL OF THE JUSTICES
% ON THE BENCH AS WE WRESTLE WITH
% REALLY IMPORTANT ISSUES.
% >> THE TWO LIBERAL CANDIDATES
% ALSO DON'T WANT TO BE DIRECTLY
% COMPARED TO HAGEDORN BECAUSE
% HE'S A CONSERVATIVE BUT DO LIKE
% HIS IMAGE AS INDEPENDENT.
% >> WHEN BRIAN KELLY CALLED OUT
% HAGEDORN AS SUPREMELY UNRELIABLE
% BECAUSE HE VOTED AGAINST THE
% BLOCK AND EXERTED HIS
% INDEPENDENT THOUGHT AND HE'S
% LABELLED AS SUPREMELY
% UNRELIABLE?
% LIKE IT'S A BAD THING?
% >> I SEE HIM DOING WHAT JUDGES
% AND JUSTICES HOPEFULLY DO, DOES
% NOT BECOME SO RIGID IN IDEOLOGY
% YOU CAN'T LISTEN OR BE MOVED BY
% THE FACTS IN FRONT OF YOU.
% THAT'S WHAT WE ALL SHOULD AS
% SPIRE TO BE ABLE TO DO IS MOVE
% INSIDE THAT SPACE BECAUSE THE
% FACTS CAN SOMETIMES PULL YOU IN
% THE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.
% >> IF MITCHELL WINS THEY WOULD
% CREATE A MAJORITY.
% WOULD VOTERS EXPECT THEM TO
% OCCASIONALLY FRUSTRATE %SUPP
ORTERS BY SHOWING
% INDEPENDENCE?%>> I THINK THE
IDEA YOU CAN
% ANTICIPATE WHAT PEOPLE RULE IS
% WHY OUR COURTS LOSE LEGITIMACY.
% IT SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE THE
% CURIOSITY OF THE FACTS BROUGHT
% BEFORE YOU NOT PEOPLE SAYING
% WELL, I KNOW WHAT THEY WOULD DO
% AND EXACTLY HOW TO FRAME THE
% CASE BASED ON WHO IS IN THE
% SEAT.%>> BE INDEPENDENT IS W
HAT
% EVERYBODY SHOULD DO.
% YOU SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PRE
% DETERMINE WHAT A SUPREME COURT'S
% GOING TO DO.
% THEY SHOULD BE FOLLOWING THE
% LAW, UPHOLDING THE CONSTITUTION
% AND YOU HEAR LOOK AT THIS.
% ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS JUSTICE
% HAGEDORN DIDN'T DO WHAT WE
% THOUGHT HE'D DO AND NOW HE'S
% SUPREMELY UNRELIABLE?
% MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED
