Are people who still believe marriage ought to be the union of one man and one woman now disqualified from judicial office?
That seems to be the burning issue in Wisconsin’s latest Supreme Court election to take place April 2, between two Appeals Court judges, conservative Brian Hagedorn and left-leaning Lisa Neubauer. Controversies earlier in the election included Senate Democrats suggesting that judicial nominees who believe Catholic “dogma” or even belong to the Knights of Columbus are not suited for the federal bench. In the latest episode, on Feb. 21, the Realtors Association withdrew their support of Hagedorn because he sits on the board of The Augustine Academy, a Christian school that follows traditional Christian teaching, reserving sexual activity for marriage between one man and one woman.
