Weekly Best of Dom Salvia Show for Feb 8
Catch up on the best of this week's shows!
First, from Tuesday's second hour with Nick Ramos. Why has the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign filed an ethics complaint against Judge Brad Schimel?
Next, from Tuesday's first hour with Maggie Daun. The upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election pits Judge Susan Crawford against Judge Brad Schimel. Maggie's choice for Judge Crawford is quite clear, but not because Maggie will only vote for a progressive-aligned candidate.
Then, from Thursday's first hour with Earl Ingram. This combined segment highlights what Wisconsin lawmakers are doing to protect us from the wreckage brought by President Trump's administration.
Finally, as we always end our shows, something good. From Monday's second hour with Harvey Kaye.
Impropriety- appearance and actuality (Hour 2)
Nick Ramos, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, joins us to break down their formal ethics complaint against judge Brad Schimel. Schimel is also, of course, a candidate for Wisconsin's highest court. And he's been going around 'joking' about begging on his hands and knees for campaign support. Meaning money. He's 'joking' about begging for money. As a judge. In direct violation of Wisconsin's Supreme Court code of ethics. Nick joins us to discuss how and why WDC filed their complaint and what they hope to achieve with it. Beyond this apparent financial impropriety, Nick and Dom discuss another of Schimel's concerning behaviors- pre-judging cases that are likely to appear before Wisconsin's highest court. We're especially concerned with his already well established position on Wisconsin's 1849 abortion law.
We finish the hour turning to the once Proud Boys, you can call 'em the Broke Boys now. Or really you can call them anything except the Proud Boys, as they've lost ownership of their name in a bit of truly tasty just desserts.
Join Dom Salvia every afternoon from 4-6pm for news (some), humor (more), and great conversation (always)! Listen throughout the state of Wisconsin on the Civic Media network and worldwide on the Civic Media app. Call or text to join the fun at 855-752-4842.
