WI Supreme Court Takes McAdams' Case

[Disco Hippie]

Per the SCOTSOW opinion release schedule below, it seems they're waiting for the very last day of the 2017/18 term (Friday 6/29) to release the McAdams vs. Marquette decision.  No suprise there since they generally release the most controversial cases last.  How do scoopers think this will go?

Well, duh.  5-2 for McAdams.

edit: oops.

[Lighthouse 84]

Well, duh.  6-3 for McAdams.

6+3=9.  Interesting....

Sometimes I count myself and Rocky as Wisconsin Supreme Court Justices, which is a neat trick since he lives in Colorado.

I think it'll be 4-2 for McAdams with Gableman writing the opinion for the Court but Kelly writing a separate concurring opinion.  I'd also expect a harsh dissent from Abrahamson, joined by A.W. Bradley.  Also note that Ziegler is not participating bc she has some type of affiliation with MU.

Nothing today.  I guess a few decisions might dawdle through next week.

Two opinions scheduled for release on Tuesday 7/3. Not McAdams though.

Is the length of time that the court is taking to release an opinion on this case give any clues one way or the other? Serious question if the judges are actually examining their own beliefs and how the cases relates to the context of the law.

Nah, probably still trying to figure out why they took the case to begin with.

It's official.  Decision will be released on Friday 7/6

Slow news day, hey?

Looking forward to people twisting themselves in knots defending a court getting involved with in a contract dispute with a private employer.

A citizen felt that he was wronged and sought relief in the courts. Regardless of outcome he exercised his rights under the law.

Frankly, this never should have happened. I can't wait for the "Presidential Tweet."

Not surprised that you would be part of the hypocritical class here. You have a history of that kind of stuff.

Hypocrite? Hardly.

The man sued for justice. I have no idea how that will end up but he exercised his right as a citizen.

Marquette mishandled that entire matter.


By the way, we  recently filed another patent, this one on sequestration of carbon dioxide. And we didn't steal anyone else's intellectual property to do so.

What did you invent last month? (Besides pontificating incessantly on Scoop!)

There are doers and talkers and you, "Sultan," are the consummate pontificator.

Says the guy who plagiarized a white supremicist, was called on it, and ran away and hid for six months.

Prediction?

It's a conservative court so arguments aren't even really necessary. Will a single person be surprised if they don't rule for McAdams?

Courts in this country are about politics - not justice.

If that's your belief, stop posting in this thread. No politics zone, Brandi.

As someone who's lucky to have seen some early success, I've found one thing to be eternally true: anyone who feels the need to constantly bluster about his supposed accomplishments - and try to put others down in doing so - is proof that he has, in reality, accomplished nothing.

I agree with this analysis.

My guess is for decisions you don't agree with it is political, for those you do, it is justice.  Same for the other side.  We have courts for a reason, because laws can be interpreted differently and not always the way we want to see it through our own life experiences. 

Will wait to hear the decision before weighing in.
