Shirley Abrahamson is 75 and running for another 10 year term on the Wisconsin Supreme against challenger Randy Koschnick 49. Now, they say age is a subject that should be off limits, and I agree if you are talking about their ability to do the job. I am questioning her desire to complete the full term. That isn't and should not be off limits. Shirley is obviously not going to be on the bench at 85 and will likely retire in the next 2-3 years. We have seen this time and time again. Therefore, she would win the election as a placeholder for the Governor to appoint a new Justice for a majority of the term…by the way...did you know that’s how Shirley got into this gig? yeah...she's an appointment....yes, she has run several successful elections since that time, but only after being appointed....should incumbency be the sole reason to keep someone in office? Her record is definitely not the reason as she is clearly out of touch with what the citizens of Wisconsin want as pointed out by the cases cited here: http://www.koschnickforjustice.com/cases.html
Yeah I know, the source above is her opponents site, but that doesn't change the cited cases facts...you could look them up yourself if you prefer.
Let's vote to change the status quo and get someone who understands their place in the 3 branches...understands that they are but one, not 2 and/or 3 of the branches....not just another elite judicial activist living in an ivory tower in Madison...keeping her simply because she is already there.

You're nuts if you think she's running to be a placeholder for a couple of years, retire, and then let someone appoint her replacement.
It shows just how little you understand her and her desire to serve Wisconsin. She passed on at least two overtures to be appointed to the Seventh Circuit years ago; to her, this is the Court where she can be of the most service.
I know this is fear mongering, trying to get people to worry about who Doyle might appoint, but I know for a fact that she is not going step down mid-term. No matter how many times you say it, it has no merit.
1) Shirley has said, "Don't count me out for running in another 10 years."
2) She has won 3 statewide elections since her appointment. Therefore, your statement about her being appointed in 1976 really has no relevance.
Hahahah you are hilarious... LOL......two more 10 year terms?... a justice on the bench at 95 years of age?....that's a good one! and to know "for a fact" she wont ever retire...even she doesn't know that...talk about clouded judgment...your is worse that hers.
