9. Think Progress Justice Who Upheld Gov. Anti-Union Law Received Over $10k Worth Of Free Services

Gableman joined the state supreme court in 2008 after corporate lobbyists and other right-wing groups spent $1.3 million to elect him to his current job. Wisconsin voters are far from powerless against Gableman’s casual approach to judicial ethics, however. Because Gableman has served more than a year of his current term in elected office, Wisconsin election law allows him to be recalled.

It was a one nasty campaign. One of the first in this state where the supreme campaign was bought.
