I understand I'm in a different position. Judges have to be independent. They must give everybody a fair chance to get justice in front of them. That conflicts again with my opponent. She [my opponent] has blatantly disregarded precedent, recent precedent, to achieve a political objective. And that was in a case where she ruled that releasing the private voting information of some Wisconsin voters, it was okay so that some individual's private voting data would have been released to the public.
