The recent loss of Brad Schimel in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race is being interpreted by many as a sign of Donald Trump's weakening influence and potential Republican troubles ahead. However, this analysis argues that such interpretations are misleading.
• The significance of Schimel's defeat is exaggerated; it's not a clear indicator of Trump’s popularity or future Republican prospects in Wisconsin.
• Previous elections, such as Janet Protasiewicz's win in 2023 followed by Trump’s victory in 2024, show that judicial races don’t reliably reflect broader electoral trends.
• Schimel's loss establishes a liberal majority in the court until at least 2028, giving Democrats an advantage to challenge Republican legislative maps and potentially influence federal House districts.
• This judicial shift may lead to challenges against Scott Walker’s Act 10, which limited union power and introduced fiscal reforms; liberal forces may seek to have it overturned.
• The tactic of litigation as a means to achieve political goals, termed "Sue Until Blue," is prevalent, suggesting that when Democrats fail to win via legislation, they turn to the courts for favorable rulings.
• The recent election results represent a more profound shift in Wisconsin’s judicial landscape rather than a straightforward commentary on Trump or upcoming elections.
The situation in Wisconsin is not merely a reaction to Trump but reflects a broader strategic shift by the left toward judicial empowerment. Conservatives need to take proactive steps in judicial reform and build resilience to face continued challenges in the future.
