MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — State Supreme Court justice Brian Hagedorn says he’s concerned about politicization of the Court.
Hagedorn said people should stop thinking of the court as some political tool.
“That shouldn’t be true on the right, it shouldn’t be true on the left,” said Hagedorn. ” So whatever happens in a race, I think it’s important for the public to know that we are deciding cases based on the law, at least that’s what we ought to be doing at the end of the day.”
Justice Janet Protasiewicz will be sworn in this week to replace retiring Justice Patience Roggensack. That will shift the court’s majority from conservative to progressive, but Hagedorn has been seen as a swing vote already in several high profile cases.
