As you may know, retired Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O’Connor is coming to Milwaukee on Wednesday for the 150th Anniversary luncheon of the Milwaukee Bar Association.
After giving the keynote address at the MBA Luncheon, held at the Midwest Airlines Center, she will come to Marquette’s campus for a “Conversation on Judicial Independence” with Mike Gousha.
Anyone interested in her remarks on Wednesday should start by checking out her remarks yesterday at the University of Minnesota. In her remarks, she urged Minnesota legislators to change to a merit system with retention elections, something that her home state of Arizona recently adopted. She also railed on the recent Butler-Gableman race as being nasty and flooded with special interest money. See also here and here. I expect she’ll pick up similar themes during her remarks on Wednesday. Stay tuned…

I talked to a judge in Texas who said she made the same comments down there. I can tell you the legal community in the entire country is disgusted with what happened here.

A talk of this subject matter would be interesting as it would allow Chief Justice Abrahamson to vent while Justice-Elect Gableman is in attendance.
