This has NOTHING to do with wining. It has everything to do with delaying. In WI the incumbent in a contested election does not retain his position. IOW, Prosser’s seat is empty until the election is settled. They want the union case to get to the WI SC before Prosser is seated again.

I thought the new term started Aug 1st and Prosser’s old term expires at that time? So he is still a judge on the Wisconsin SC today?

If that is the case, then Scott Walker will have to just re-vote. I realize he is trying to avoid that and make certain that the courts don’t overstep their bounds, but this is too important to stand on ceremony. It is sickening to watch the libs walk all over the process.

That makes no sense at all. I can't imagine that actually being true -- how can an election whose results don't take effect yet affect the term granted by a previous election?
