Park Hotel, Madison. Guest speaker is Wisconsin Institute for Discovery Director Jo Handelsman, who served in President Obama’s administration for three years as the associate director for science in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Rotary meetings are open

The courts are the final authority in this country, and ours has been looking out for special interests, instead of standing up for regular people.
What we need to do is fix our broken Wisconsin Supreme Court. Big-money special interests have taken over. Justices refuse to recuse themselves even when their donors — who’ve given massive amounts of money — want the court to rule a certain way. They’ve even closed administrative meetings so they can do more of their business out of the public’s view.
Judges are not legislators, nor are we executives. Our job as judges is to interpret and apply the law, based not on our personal or political beliefs, but by relying on statutes and the Constitution. Simply put, our job is to be arbiters of the law, not policy analysts or political activists.
Liberals who want to legislate from the Wisconsin Supreme Court hope to advance that agenda at the April 4 general election. They’ll get their wish even sooner if conservatives don’t get off their butts on February 20.
Big money can now pollute Wisconsin Supreme Court races more than ever before thanks to the GOP-dominated legislature, which recklessly rewrote our campaign finance law in 2015.
Waves usually just influence congressional seats. But a look at past wave elections tells a different story.
The unfortunate answer to why Walker is paying billions to create jobs we can’t fill is that Foxconn is a very costly campaign stunt.
There’s something scarily defective about Republicans who win perk-and-privilege elections so quickly wielding their power against those with the least – – even limiting the food the poor can eat.
Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s announced Republican challengers have, so far, run ridiculous campaigns that suggest they are more interested in currying favor with national political operatives than representing Wisconsinites.
Wisconsin instead picks winners and losers. How is that working?
Will Flanders, the research director for the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, joins Editor James Wigderson on this week’s episode of RightWisconsin Conversations.
