1
00:05:04.815 --> 00:05:07.664 size:90%
what the law means and what our opinions

2
00:05:07.665 --> 00:05:10.360 size:90%
ought to say. And I am really looking forward to having

3
00:05:01.605 --> 00:05:04.664 size:90%
conversations about what the law says,

4
00:04:54.225 --> 00:04:56.264 size:90%
that it's structured now with the justices is on it, I

5
00:04:59.145 --> 00:05:01.604 size:90%
to have some incredibly meaningful and important

6
00:04:56.265 --> 00:04:58.911 size:90%
think that there could be lots of opportunities for us

7
00:04:51.405 --> 00:04:54.224 size:90%
I think that the court, with the way

8
00:04:49.904 --> 00:04:51.404 size:90%
for decisions to come?

9
00:04:46.454 --> 00:04:48.708 size:90%
What does a more even split mean, if anything,

10
00:04:44.024 --> 00:04:45.943 size:90%
conservatives still hold a majority.

11
00:04:41.654 --> 00:04:43.754 size:90%
Even with your election to the Supreme Court,

12
00:04:40.664 --> 00:04:41.653 size:90%
sit on that case.

13
00:04:37.964 --> 00:04:40.610 size:90%
comes to the Wisconsin state Supreme Court, I will not

14
00:04:35.084 --> 00:04:37.534 size:90%
Wisconsin is a litigant, is a party in a case that

15
00:04:32.414 --> 00:04:35.083 size:90%
keep this promise, that if the Democratic Party of

16
00:04:29.564 --> 00:04:31.934 size:90%
I have said, and I will

17
00:04:27.103 --> 00:04:29.563 size:90%
came before the court involving the party?

18
00:04:24.493 --> 00:04:27.102 size:90%
Do you believe you would have to recuse in any case that

19
00:04:21.013 --> 00:04:23.383 size:90%
Party gave you $1.3 million.

20
00:04:17.953 --> 00:04:21.012 size:90%
This question on your campaign, the Democratic

21
00:04:16.052 --> 00:04:17.952 size:90%
of Wisconsin elected us to do.

22
00:04:13.082 --> 00:04:15.189 size:90%
aside so we can do the work that the people

23
00:04:10.022 --> 00:04:12.227 size:90%
Wisconsin beer and we can put our differences

24
00:04:07.112 --> 00:04:09.415 size:90%
of my colleagues over a cup of coffee or a good

25
00:04:04.202 --> 00:04:06.946 size:90%
social distancing being over so I can sit down with each

26
00:04:00.872 --> 00:04:03.111 size:90%
But I'm looking forward to the

27
00:03:59.672 --> 00:04:00.672 size:90%
we disagree.

28
00:03:57.392 --> 00:03:59.671 size:90%
areas where we agree. There are going to be areas where

29
00:03:55.262 --> 00:03:57.391 size:90%
I think, like I have said before, there are going to be

30
00:03:52.562 --> 00:03:54.931 size:90%
justices have already reached out to me.

31
00:03:50.972 --> 00:03:52.561 size:90%
I don't think it's going to be a problem. Several the

32
00:03:50.461 --> 00:03:50.971 size:90%
election?

33
00:03:47.731 --> 00:03:50.460 size:90%
especially given the animosity born of this past

34
00:03:45.331 --> 00:03:47.730 size:90%
How do you expect to grow collegiality on the court,

35
00:03:43.091 --> 00:03:45.330 size:90%
members of their family and we didn't have that.

36
00:03:40.571 --> 00:03:43.090 size:90%
in a way that would be safe for them and safe for

37
00:03:37.751 --> 00:03:40.170 size:90%
people could exercise their right to vote

38
00:03:34.841 --> 00:03:37.750 size:90%
on April 7th. We should have had an election where

39
00:03:31.961 --> 00:03:34.540 size:90%
And like I said, we shouldn't have had an election

40
00:03:30.641 --> 00:03:31.641 size:90%
in elections.

41
00:03:27.611 --> 00:03:30.611 size:90%
and not more difficult for people to participate

42
00:03:24.641 --> 00:03:27.551 size:90%
make it easier for people to participate in elections

43
00:03:21.821 --> 00:03:24.640 size:90%
need to do whatever we can to try to

44
00:03:19.691 --> 00:03:21.820 size:90%
I think, and I've said this in the campaign, that we

45
00:03:18.900 --> 00:03:19.690 size:90%
going forward?

46
00:03:15.600 --> 00:03:18.780 size:90%
to mail-in voting in lieu of in-person

47
00:03:13.410 --> 00:03:15.599 size:90%
In the midst of this pandemic, would you support moving

48
00:03:08.749 --> 00:03:11.599 size:90%
but a court that has justices on it

49
00:03:11.629 --> 00:03:13.409 size:90%
who are committed to following the law.

50
00:03:05.539 --> 00:03:08.508 size:90%
-- in this state is a court that is not partisan,

51
00:03:02.119 --> 00:03:04.969 size:90%
people did. It is clear that what people want on this

52
00:02:59.269 --> 00:03:02.118 size:90%
is -- makes me feel very, very emotional for what those

53
00:02:56.119 --> 00:02:58.878 size:90%
me cry. Thinking about those pictures right now

54
00:02:47.559 --> 00:02:50.269 size:90%
People braved COVID-19.

55
00:02:50.329 --> 00:02:52.926 size:90%
They wore masks and they wore gloves and they went to

56
00:02:53.149 --> 00:02:55.795 size:90%
the polling places. And looking at those pictures made

57
00:02:45.889 --> 00:02:47.538 size:90%
But people were willing to do that.

58
00:02:44.629 --> 00:02:45.648 size:90%
in this election.

59
00:02:41.239 --> 00:02:44.388 size:90%
and voicing their vote, having their voice heard

60
00:02:35.569 --> 00:02:38.208 size:90%
People never should have been put in the position where

61
00:02:34.339 --> 00:02:35.358 size:90%
on April 7th.

62
00:02:38.209 --> 00:02:40.969 size:90%
they had to choose between their own health and safety

63
00:02:31.339 --> 00:02:34.278 size:90%
First of all, we never should have had an election

64
00:02:28.249 --> 00:02:31.338 size:90%
What is your kind of lingering response to that?

65
00:02:25.489 --> 00:02:26.919 size:90%
the face of COVID-19.

66
00:02:22.459 --> 00:02:24.321 size:90%
vote in places like Milwaukee, even in

67
00:02:19.489 --> 00:02:21.645 size:90%
Now, as you've just said, people came out to

68
00:02:18.079 --> 00:02:19.488 size:90%
wanted a change on the court.

69
00:02:15.169 --> 00:02:17.570 size:90%
The message was loud and it was clear that people

70
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.018 size:90%
We won by over 10 points.

71
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:12.978 size:90%
and they came out strong.

72
00:02:08.089 --> 00:02:11.268 size:90%
despite efforts to suppress the vote, people voted

73
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.444 size:90%
beyond, but I know that in this election that

74
00:02:03.139 --> 00:02:05.238 size:90%
I don't know what's going to happen in November or

75
00:01:56.479 --> 00:01:59.223 size:90%
campaign and that they want state Supreme Court justices

76
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:56.478 size:90%
in the state of Wisconsin heard the message of our

77
00:01:59.808 --> 00:02:02.778 size:90%
who are committed to following the rule of law.

78
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.318 size:90%
I think our election is an indicator that people

79
00:01:50.808 --> 00:01:51.438 size:90%
in November?

80
00:01:47.958 --> 00:01:50.807 size:90%
is a bellwether for liberals

81
00:01:42.018 --> 00:01:44.957 size:90%
Do you feel as though your victory over the incumbent

82
00:01:44.988 --> 00:01:47.508 size:90%
who was endorsed by Donald Trump

83
00:01:41.358 --> 00:01:42.017 size:90%
Crosse.

84
00:01:35.148 --> 00:01:37.059 size:90%
really strong returns from southwestern

85
00:01:38.448 --> 00:01:40.359 size:90%
Wisconsin, especially in places like La

86
00:01:31.938 --> 00:01:35.027 size:90%
in yet. And then we were also starting to see

87
00:01:23.868 --> 00:01:27.048 size:90%
counties." We also knew that the votes in Milwaukee,

88
00:01:27.468 --> 00:01:29.387 size:90%
in the county of Milwaukee and the city of Milwaukee,

89
00:01:29.418 --> 00:01:31.937 size:90%
and Dane County and particularly Madison, had not come

90
00:01:16.738 --> 00:01:18.968 size:90%
Outagamie, which I guess now are called the "BOW

91
00:01:19.218 --> 00:01:21.797 size:90%
counties." So we were doing -- holding our margins in

92
00:01:21.798 --> 00:01:23.652 size:90%
the "WOW counties" and we were doing well in the "BOW

93
00:01:10.488 --> 00:01:12.987 size:90%
We knew that we were winning and Winnebago, that we

94
00:01:13.398 --> 00:01:16.097 size:90%
were winning in Brown and that we were winning in

95
00:01:07.518 --> 00:01:10.068 size:90%
of Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington.

96
00:01:04.668 --> 00:01:07.487 size:90%
our own as far as the margins in the "WOW counties"

97
00:01:01.582 --> 00:01:02.954 size:90%
We knew that we were holding

98
00:00:56.722 --> 00:00:58.762 size:90%
Press called the election for you.

99
00:00:58.782 --> 00:01:01.581 size:90%
What were the early indicators that you had won?

100
00:00:53.302 --> 00:00:56.721 size:90%
you declared victory long before the Associated

101
00:00:50.402 --> 00:00:53.115 size:90%
Now on election-return day,

102
00:00:48.791 --> 00:00:50.401 size:90%
the Wisconsin State Supreme Court.

103
00:00:46.381 --> 00:00:48.790 size:90%
And I'm honored that I'm going to be the next justice on

104
00:00:43.291 --> 00:00:46.320 size:90%
Thank you. And I'm very, very humbled.

105
00:00:39.751 --> 00:00:43.290 size:90%
And I suppose we should say congratulations.

106
00:00:38.161 --> 00:00:39.750 size:90%
It's really wonderful to be with you.

107
00:00:36.781 --> 00:00:38.140 size:90%
Thank you so much for having me.

108
00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:36.780 size:90%
being here.

109
00:00:33.570 --> 00:00:36.179 size:90%
in Madison. And Justice-elect, thanks very much for

110
00:00:30.540 --> 00:00:33.389 size:90%
Justice-elect Jill Karofsky joined us from her home

111
00:00:27.390 --> 00:00:29.869 size:90%
top court. It now stands at 4-3.

112
00:00:24.570 --> 00:00:26.824 size:90%
term, cutting the conservative majority in the

113
00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:24.259 size:90%
rode a wave of Democratic support to win a 10-year

114
00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:21.419 size:90%
elections. Dane County Judge Jill Karofsky

115
00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:05.699 size:90%
Wisconsin grabbed headlines this week, most notably

116
00:00:15.510 --> 00:00:18.239 size:90%
And there could be repercussions for the November

117
00:00:12.090 --> 00:00:15.060 size:90%
to lose his seat on the court since 1967.

118
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.548 size:90%
Daniel Kelly became only the third incumbent justice

119
00:00:05.730 --> 00:00:08.519 size:90%
an upset win in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

120
00:05:10.755 --> 00:05:13.425 size:90%
those discussions and to being part of those opinions

121
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.399 size:90%
The results of the controversial spring election in

122
00:05:13.575 --> 00:05:14.325 size:90%
from the court.
