How about 2027?
What does this mean
for the next state
Supreme Court race?
Who wants to go there?
Well, we talked last week
about how nobody was talking
about this court election
as the most important
in a generation or whatever.
And then enter Ben Wikler,
the former chair
of the Democratic Party.
He sent out this
email today of
and he was explaining
why he thought for Democrats
and liberals,
it was actually,
hugely important
because essentially this
guarantees liberal control
past the point of the census.
And so into the next
redistricting cycle,
everything comes back
to redistricting.
And Zac likes to say.
I if I'm going to be watching
to see if Republicans
or conservatives
even run a candidate.
The inverse of that happened
when the GOP
was running the table
on these elections.
And there's been a few
talk radio people
wondering, like,
who would want to run
for a seat
in the minority
of the Supreme Court
after someone
just got
clobbered by 20 points?
It sucks to be
in the minority,
and we've seen that in both
the legislature
and on the Supreme Court,
where we had
now two consecutive
conservative
incumbent justices
who were
well within the normal age
range
to seek another ten year
term, decide.
I don't want to be
in the minority
on this court.
I'd rather go somewhere else.
So I think
those patterns tell you
a lot more than what
any of the the press release
as well.
