5. Chief Justice Annette Ziegler

What did Ronny have to say about the Chief Justice's past? Nothing I guess.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annette_Ziegler


"It came to light during the campaign that Ziegler had ruled on roughly a dozen cases affecting a bank of which her husband was a paid board member, and on 22 cases involving companies in which Ziegler personally owned more than $50,000 of stock."

https://web.archive.org/web/20080622234306/http://www.madison.com:80/wsj/topstories/288600

"In 2017, she joined a 5 to 2 decision to strike down a rule that would have required judges to recuse from cases where they had received lawful campaign contributions from one of the interested parties."

6. Because she talked about an issue?

No concerns for him with, say, Supreme Court justices getting kickbacks and not reporting or recusing? How about Ziegler not recusing when her husband stands to benefit from her judgment?

Those are times when one recuses.

One does NOT recuse for talking about an issue.
