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.
