- Now back to politics and a look at candidates running for
the State Supreme Court.
Wisconsin will elect a new Supreme Court justice to fill
the vacancy left by Michael Gableman's retirement.
Three candidates so far have announced their intent to run
for the seat.
Tim Burns, Rebecca Dallet and Michael Screnock.
In a comparison drawn by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel,
the candidates give mixed responses on issues
such as Wisconsin's voter ID law and the 2011 redistricting.
Burns and Dallet expressed concern over both issues.
Screnock, who worked at the law firm that drew Wisconsin's
2011 maps, approves of legal arguments to keep courts
out of the redistricting process.
The candidates also named current justices they admire.
Burns and Dallet cite the two liberal justices
on Wisconsin's court and Screnock names the late
conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
The primary election will be in February.
