Gableman, Butler clash at Supreme Court election forum
DODGEVILLE, Wis. (AP) - Burnett County Judge Michael Gableman says the reason he decided to run for the state Supreme Court is because he saw a pattern of decisions influenced by personal opinion.
At a forum in Dodgeville yesterday, Gableman said he would apply the plain language of the law.
Supreme Court Justice Louis Butler says his judicial philosophy is to uphold the U.S. and state constitutions and hold wrongdoers responsible.
Butler says any inference that he makes decisions based on personal preference or ideology is false.
The forum was sponsored by the Iowa County Bar Association and Grassroots Citizens of Wisconsin.
