The candidates for Wisconsin Supreme Court, as expected, disagreed entirely during their only debate yesterday. Liberal Judge Janet Protasiewicz and Dan Kelly met on the stage for their only time this campaign. Protasiewicz tried to paint Kelly as extreme on abortion, while Kelly hammered at Protasiewicz for light sentences for criminals and her politicization of the race for the high court.
