Michael Popok: 我认为威斯康星州最高法院推翻了176年的堕胎禁令，这是一个重要的胜利，它表明了州级法院在保护妇女权利方面可以发挥关键作用。我强调了选举的重要性，尤其是在州一级，因为法官的选举直接影响着法院的组成和裁决结果。我回顾了Elon Musk试图通过资金影响威斯康星州最高法院选举的事件，但选民们拒绝了他的干预，这使得自由派法官能够维持多数席位，从而促成了这一有利于堕胎权的裁决。我认为这一事件突显了关注州级选举和法官人选的重要性，因为他们对诸如堕胎权等重要议题有着直接的影响。我呼吁大家更多地了解州级法官，并在选举中积极投票，以确保最高法院能够代表人民的意愿，从而在法律层面制衡像特朗普这样的政治力量。

Shownotes Transcript

In stunning fashion, the 4-3 liberal majority of the Wisconsin Supreme Court just struck down a 176-year-old ban on abortion on the state books, pushed by MAGA to deny a woman her reproductive freedom, and declared that abortion is legal in Wisconsin and protected by more modern state statutes. Michael Popok explains how elected State Supreme Courts are on the front line to protect democracy, and Wisconsin provides the roadmap on how to resist at the state level.
