In the top story on the front page of Sunday's paper, the Wisconsin State Journal reported that three groups that have fought in court to end the "John Doe" investigation into suspected election campaign wrongdoing — Club for Growth, Citizens for a Strong America and Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce — spent more than $8 million over the past seven years to get four justices who make up the court majority elected to the office.

The fate of this criminal probe now rests with our state's highest court. And four of the court's seven members have had millions of dollars spent on their behalf by interest groups that are known targets of the investigation.
