Judge Rebecca Dallet, speaking at the “Women’s March” in Milwaukee (no pro-life women allowed), told the crowd of p—y hats that she deserves a spot on the state Supreme Court because she’s a woman.
“We need a woman on the Supreme Court who is going to look out for our rights,” Dallet said. Dallet didn’t elaborate which rights she would protect, but she recently came out against Act 10 which allowed state employees to not join unions and supported the illegal John Doe investigation into conservative groups.
According to the U.S. Census, there are over 2.9 million women in Wisconsin. According to Dallet, that would mean there are over 580,000 women judges in this state, a slight overpopulation of judges and lawyers in this state. Perhaps we should shut down the law school lest we continue to needlessly create more judges.
But if she meant that only one in five judges in Wisconsin happen to be women, we’ll leave that to Politifact to check (right after they verify whether Tony Evers has been a lifetime educator). That might be the best we can divine from the intellectual muddle of Dallet’s thinking.
Instead, let’s just note the shameful missed opportunity by Dallet to point out that five women have all faced the voters at different times and won their respective elections to the Supreme Court. Instead of worrying about quotas and what’s “fair,” the voters have spoken on the merits of their candidacies. Perhaps that’s what Dallet is really afraid of.
