위스콘신 엑자미너(사설): 진정으로 공정하려면 위스콘신 법원은 거대한 정치 자금으로부터 자유로워야 합니다.
위스콘신 대법원 선거에서 전례 없는 터무니없이 많은 정치자금이 모이고 쓰이고 있는 것은 우리 주에서 상당히 새롭고 끔찍한 발전입니다. 항상 여기서는 이런 식이었던 것은 아니었고, 계속될 수도 없고 계속되어서는 안 됩니다.

While it is disappointing that the U.S. Supreme Court chose to ignore such clear conflicts for the Wisconsin justices, the issues behind the case are far from dead. Recent revelations about the 2011-2012 recall elections have raised troubling new questions about Governor Walker and those who engaged in possible illegal activity.
