We really don’t want to have nomination paper challenges - we don’t like kicking people off the ballot. But a candidate, and only the candidate, is responsible for their signatures. So please get extras? Our meetings will be shorter and you will be on the ballot!!! 4/fin

For example, people will list their address as “Milwaukee” even if they live in Shorewood (the post office will deliver if the address has either). Avoid this problem! Submit enough additional signatures that if someone wants to challenge you they’ll have a very hard time. 3/

So if you need 50, submit 75. If you need 2,000, submit 3,000. Why? Because without a doubt, if you submit 51, or 2,001, your opponent will find 2 failed signatures. Ordinary people are not always aware of what voting district they live in!! It’s not intentional!! 2/

I just finished writing a CLE on AI. So many lawyers believe in its infallibility so they simply paste it into every brief, including the order to show cause on why they should be sanctioned for using fake AI hallucinations in the first instance. I feel like people really want to believe in magic.

And a reminder - this is a non-partisan election! So use the non-partisan template you can find at our website! Elections.wi.gov!

Umm - we need to check your current abode for plants & rustic pottery first.

Don’t you find it odd that it’s a charity & not a government service?

It ain't so

It is communal - when we all have come together, as Jews across the nation and the world have come together to rejoice, to breathe a sigh of relief, and to look forward to a peaceful future.

Anonymous trolls are like cockroaches - they scatter from the light. Why not use your real name when you make absurd declarations? Afraid of the repercussions?

Please share and, if you are eligible to give, please give! Her top-notch legal team does not come cheap and we need to ensure she has the necessary resources to fully litigate her case!! 6/fin

More limits on the Hannah Dugan Legal Defense Fund: Employees of MKE County or working in the court complex, any atty likely to appear before Judge Dugan, member of WI judiciary & their families. 5/

The limits on the Hannah Dugan Legal Defense fund address who CANNOT give (summarizing): lobbyists, non-citizens, party to any matter in MKE courts, attys for any matter pending in MKE courts (like me), residents of MKE county (more) 4/

**There are significant limitations on who can give!**
It's clear from the list of people who can't give that a great deal of thought has gone into the administration of this fund so any possible conflicts of interest or ethical problems can be avoided.3/ www.hannahdugandefensefund.org/contribute

The Fund "will be professionally managed by a separate entity experienced in fund management; its work will be monitored by counsel experienced in professional ethics. [former WI Supreme Ct justice] Janine P. Geske will oversee and serve as a trustee of the fund." 2/

So stay tuned to this motion & arguments. It's one that wasn't on my radar but if successful is an absolute bar to these very unfortunate charges. 6/

Further, the motion explains that this immunity is "immunity from suit" - meaning that it is not a defense at trial, but is for the court to determine ahead of time. As in, now. As in, if successful the charges are dismissed at this stage in the proceedings. 5/

In summary: “Judges are entitled to absolute immunity for their judicial acts, without regard to the motive with which those acts are allegedly performed.”
