I'd love to respond to some of what Judge Schimmel said, if I might. Sure. You know, he is paying good lip service to the principles of impartiality and open mindedness. But throughout this campaign, He [Judge Schimmel] has taken issues on cases pending before the Wisconsin Supreme Court, including cases like one involving an 1849 abortion law that if it were in effect, would criminalize pretty much all abortions in Wisconsin. He has openly said, when he's in front of audiences of his political allies that there is nothing wrong with that law and it should be enforced. (05:48–06:10)

CLAIM
