Yes, I am aware that across the fruited plain, many States have renamed their most delusional insane asylums as their State Supreme Courts.
In Wisconsin, voters a month ago enacted a Constitutional Amendment, and the State Supreme Court performed one of it's finest acts in decades, and voted our new Chief Justice Roggensack. But the ultra libtard delusional super psycho Shirley Abrahamson is refusing to relinquish her chair. As Libtard Entitled Elite, she feels she is above the Laws of the State, or it's Constitution. Obeying the Laws of the State is only for the little people, the unwashed masses, the unliberated non-libtards.

MADISON — Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Patience Roggensack cast the deciding vote in her favor to replace longtime Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson in the first-of-its kind action, emails released Thursday to The Associated Press show.

Because vote-rigging is the republican way!

SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.

Yes, delusional Libtards (but I repeat myself) consider honest unadulterated elections in full accordance with the Constitutional Law to be "vote-rigging" while fraudulent illegal corrupt ballot-rigging and election-rigging intentionally violating every facet of Law is the "Democrat Way" to them.

As one of the 7 Supreme Court Justices, Justice Roggensack is obligated to vote in the election of the Chief Justice. Other Justices had already nominated her, and seconded the motion. Curiously, Shirley Abrahamson did not cast a vote, effectively also voting for Shirley Abrahamson, yet you fail to point this out - hypocrite much, 1kookoo?

Perhaps 1kookoo was implying that there are Democrat Officeholders who voted for their opponent in their election, thus holding ethical superiority. Does anybody have anecdotes of this occurring in America?

As a very wise man keeps saying: you can't make this stuff up, folks!

Not at all.

If you read my post (you CAN read - can't you?) the issue I have is someone being able to decide a vote by voting in favor their own personal interests. In this case it was by Roggensack voting for herself. In normal, honest dealings having a personal stake in the outcome of a vote is called 'conflict of interest' and there are rules to prevent that from happening. In the justice system judges and justices are required to recuse (look it up) themselves when they have one.

The honest and legal thing for Roggensack to have done was recuse herself.

But honesty isn't a republican virtue. I don't think anyone has ever accused a republican of that.

Not even other republicans.

Except when mandated by Constitutional Law. Besides, recusal is for JUDGING a CASE, not for voting in an election.

YES. She VOTED, not judged. There was no case before the court. No Judgement.

Wrong. You are confusing vote with Judgement of a Case. Get a clue.
Quote:

Follow the Constitutional Law and participate in the vote. But following the Law is not something Libtards are fluent with. The Law directs that she not:

recuse herself.

But honesty isn't a Democrat virtue. Despite all of the Justices being nonpartisan, in accordance with the Democrat shenanigans following the Hatch Act.

If she is a Justice then serving on the Court, she is legally directed to vote.
How much more clarity was needed for it to penetrate a Libtard delusion:

Question 1: "Election of chief justice. Shall section 4 (2) of article VII of the constitution be amended to direct that a chief justice of the supreme court shall be elected for a two-year term by a majority of the justices then serving on the court?"[8]

Judges should recuse themselves from cases where they have a conflict of interest or the appearance of one. Unfortunately Justices Ginsburg and Kagan, who have both performed gay wedding ceremonies, chose not to recuse themselves from the gay marriage case the Supreme Court heard last week. Pathetic!

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

WASHINGTON — When the conservative financier Charles Koch sent out invitations for a political retreat in Palm Springs later this month, he highlighted past appearances at the gathering of “notable leaders” like Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas of the Supreme Court.

A leading liberal group is now trying to use that connection to argue that Mr. Scalia and Mr. Thomas should disqualify themselves from hearing campaign finance cases because they may be biased toward Mr. Koch, a billionaire who has been a major player in financing conservative causes (and their benefactor).

Scalia and Thomas received TANGIBLE BENEFITS. That does NOT look like they're impartial.

Mother Jones is out with a new story today about a group of prominent conservatives, including the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, meeting weekly to plan a “30-front war seeking to fundamentally transform the nation,” according to documents obtained by the magazine.

And involving family ...

Justice Clarence Thomas ruled on Bush vs. Gore while his wife was collecting candidates' resumes to recommend to a new Bush administration.

... and again ...

Justice Antonin Scalia was part of the court majority siding with anti-abortion advocates who said a Massachusetts law allowing a buffer zone around abortion clinics violated the 1st Amendment — even though his wife had been on the board of a pro-life organization and served as a "crisis counselor" to pregnant women.

... and again.

There are direct ties to big business.

Political heavymonsanto.jpgweight Monsanto took on an Indiana soybean farmer today in the U.S. Supreme Court over Monsanto’s patents of its Roundup-resistant seed.
And, once again, Justice Clarence Thomas was on the bench, hearing the case with the other justices. Thomas worked as a corporate lawyer for Monsanto in the 1970s.

There are direct ties with individials who have cases before the court.

The ducks were all in a row for Justice Antonin Scalia and Vice President Dick Cheney after the Supreme Court granted certiorari in a case where the Vice President was one of the parties. Soon after the decision, the men went duck hunting in Louisiana. After questioning Scalia about this possible conflict of interest, the press, opposing parties, and amicus urged him to recuse himself from the case. He refuse ...

And this doesn't even cover page one of a google search supreme court conflict of interest.

Since both Roggensack and Abrahamson would need to be discounted, your delusional point is rendered mute.

Yes, Abrahamson has long destroyed the illusion of integrity or impartiality of the Court, and now Roggensack has restored it.

In an ideal world, this would be the case. Many conservatives have proposed this, but libtards always rail against it. The elections would be far more honest when every person employed by the government, receiving a paycheck from the government, or subsistence check from the government were excluded from voting. Even Heinlein suggested that the right to vote should be reserved for those who served in the Armed Forces.

But whiny libtards are adamantly opposed to such reasonable ethical, honest, patriotic ideas.

So, back to the topic.

Julie here seems to think that Roggensack is exempt from the Wisconsin CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT, SCR CHAPTER 60, which is written into the state code of law. Those laws require:

SCR 60.03 A judge SHALL avoid impropriety and the APPEARANCE of impropriety in ALL of the judge's activities .

(1) A judge shall respect and comply with the law and SHALL act at ALL times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and IMPARTIALITY of the judiciary.

These statutes contain the word SHALL - not should, or may. The word SHALL means must, no exceptions. They also contain the word ALL - not restricted to a subset like cases, but all dealings, which includes votes. And finally, they apply to even the APPEARANCE of impropriety, or undermining public confidence in the integrity and IMPARTIALITY of the judiciary.

What say you, julie? Do state laws apply to Roggensack?

ETA: yanno, if you're tired of looking like an idiot and a hypocrite you could always stop being them.

No, you were. You kept repeating that voters of an election where they had an interest, including fiscal interest, should not be allowed to vote. You seem to think that a sitting judge should forfeit their right to vote.
I keep agreeing with the Constitution - State and Federal - and you keep disagreeing with it and arguing against it.

You know, wouldn't it make sense for the good people of the State of Wisconsin to practice safe religion, since we've had many twisters hop around the state of Texas recently.

I'm not making light of the tragedy there, just following right wing logic, since God punishes the wicked and the abnormal (you call them Libtards). Only thing is that God's aim has been concentrated in the Sun Belt region of late. God forbid we call what's happening there as science because, as we all know, there's no such thing as climate change and global warming.

As a very wise man keeps saying: you can't make this stuff up, folks!

Yes, you can make this stuff up. All the time Republicans change voting laws in their favor:

WASHINGTON — The Republicans on the US Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday (May 26, 2015) to hear a case that will answer a long-contested question by Republicans about a bedrock principle of the American political system: the meaning of “one person one vote.”

The Republican controlled court’s ruling, expected in 2016, could be immensely consequential. Should the court agree with the two Republican Texas voters who brought the case, its ruling would shift political power from cities to rural areas, a move that would benefit Republicans.

The court has never resolved whether voting districts should have the same number of people, or the same number of eligible voters. To apportion the voting districts for Congress, the US Census counts every person every ten years, including non-voting slaves back when there were slaves and including women back when they could not vote. Counting all people amplifies the voting power of places with large numbers of residents who cannot vote, including children and immigrants who are here legally but are not citizens. Those places tend to be urban and to vote Democratic.

A ruling that districts must be based on equal numbers of voters would move political power away from cities, with their many immigrants and children, and toward older and more homogeneous rural areas controlled by Republicans.

Such a decision would be most significant in border states, like California, Texas, Arizona and Nevada, that have the largest proportions of noncitizens and children.

The Supreme Court over the past nearly 25 years has turned away at least three similar challenges, and many election law experts expressed surprise that the justices agreed to hear this one. But since Republican Chief Justice John G. Roberts has led the court, it has been active in other voting cases.

crickets.

It would seem 1kookoo has conceded my point, offering no argument to follow it. Only offering a claim to precede it.

Still conceded. Even her concession speech has no point, just repeating her lack of point.

In Wisconsin, voters a month ago enacted a Constitutional Amendment, and the State Supreme Court performed one of it's finest acts in decades, and voted our new Chief Justice Roggensack. But the ultra libtard delusional super psycho Shirley Abrahamson is refusing to relinquish her chair. As Libtard Entitled Elite, she feels she is above the Laws of the State, or it's Constitution. Obeying the Laws of the State is only for the little people, the unwashed masses, the unliberated non-libtards.

The bimbo filed suit against the Constitutionally obligated action.
Her case was just dismissed.

And yet - not a response to my post.

Still no cite julie? How are we to know those things you claim are 'constitutionally obligated duties' and not yet another one of your bogus claims? Post a cite - and include the section that states all MUST vote. Because if it's not a requirement for all, it's not an obligation - it's optional.

SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.

Still conceded. Even her concession speech has no point, just repeating her lack of point.

And still she has nothing to add, nothing to validate her claims, nothing to explain the obvious problem with her lack of logic.
