Roggensack, Fallone Advance in Wisconsin Supreme Court Primary

The state will choose between Pat Roggensack, who has served on the State Supreme Court since 2003, and Ed Fallone, a Marquette University Law professor who teaches constitutional, corporate and criminal law, as their justice.

Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Pat Roggensack of Madison and Marquette University law professor Ed Fallone of Whitefish Bay will square off in the April 2 election for the high court after advancing in Tuesday's primary.

With 93 percent of the votes counted statewide as of 10:36 p.m., Roggensack captured more than 63 percent of the ballots cast, while Fallone had 30 percent, according to Patch's media partners at WISN 12.

Vince Megna was eliminated from the race and had garnered about 6 percent of the vote.

Roggensack has served on the State Supreme Court since 2003. Fallone, 48, teaches constitutional, corporate and criminal law. Megna, 68, of Menomonee Falls, is a lemon law lawyer who works for Aiken & Scoptur, S.C. in Milwaukee.

Roggensack will win the next election too.

It would be highly unusual if she lost. Historically the Incumbent wins 95% of Wisconsin State Supreme Court elections. Which is why Kloppenberg's narrow defeat was so remarkable.

Unless Fallone finds some free stuff to give away.

You can bet Keith Schmitz will get in line.

Fallone has 0 (zero) judicial experience. Roggensack has 7 years as an Appellate Court Judge and 10 years as a Supreme Court Justice, with a stellar record of fairness.
Clearly, Pat Roggensack is the choice and should be re-elected.

Seems to me that more and more people in the great state of Wisconsin are rejecting any attempt to overturn Act 10.

As Obama spends us into a new civil war, Wisconsin voters are sticking with what works.

What a surprise! Who could have predicted these results? Answer, only me, a groundhog, and the rest of the Wisconsin population.

Justice Roggensack is one of the highest regarded members of the the WI Supreme court. Shes a Fair Judge to ALL sides as she follows the actual law and not an agenda. All Supreme courts would be lucky to have her.

Hi Anthony, The proposed WalMart site is on the southeast corner of 4 Mile and North Green BayRead More Road, just south of the Mosquito Inn.

There are not too many areas that can be easily accessed by the main roads. If a corner parcel wasRead More bought somewhere (perhaps Hwy 31 & Six mile) not a suggestion nor is it large enough. There would still be complaints. Who there be as much complaining if the Industrial building expanded onto the same parcel of land?
