HRC at WI Dinner inserts self into State Supreme Court race

(and Thank goodness, too. This is a very important Supreme Court race in Wisconsin and it also demonstrates the differences between Clinton and Sanders--Clinton talks about many different issues and Sanders sticks pretty much to the sins of Wall Street)

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took aim at state Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley during her Saturday night speech at the Founder's Day Dinner in Milwaukee.

Clinton argued that there's no place on any court for someone like Bradley, citing the justice's comments about women, survivors of sexual assault, and gays and lesbians.

Clinton also criticized Bradley's track record and compared it to the speech used in the Republican primary, especially by national GOP front-runner Donald Trump, according to an aide for the Democratic front-runner.

"There is no place on any Supreme Court or any court in this country, no place at all for Rebecca Bradley's decades-long track record of dangerous rhetoric against women, survivors of sexual assault and the LGBT community," Clinton said.

She added, "No to discrimination, no to hate speech and no to Bradley."

She also drew connections between Bradley and Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who appointed Bradley to three judicial positions in three years.
