James

joins us to talk about Washington County Circuit Court Judge
Annette Ziegler's victory over immigration attorney Linda
Clifford for a key seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court April 3,
2007 by a 58-42 percent margin. With 98 percent of the vote
counted Ziegler (right) tallied 472,284 votes to Clifford’s
337,661 votes.
Ziegler will
take office on August 1st for a 10 year term, and will become
one of seven members on the Court. She will become one of
three "rule of law" justices and maintain the current balance on
the Court which is often characterized as having three
conservative Justices, three liberal Justices and one swing
vote.
AJP
congratulates our Partner in Wisconsin, Wisconsin Manufacturers
and Commerce, for the leading role it took in supporting Judge
Ziegler's election.
Another key
Supreme Court seat will be contested in 2008.
