Judge's speech not exactly a blockbuster

Federal Judge Diane Sykes makes what is essentially a political speech at Marquette, chastising the Wisconsin Supreme Court, of which she is a former member, for what she calls its activism. It's no doubt designed to get her some attention from the right in case a better judicial job opens up (or to make them wish she hadn't been passed over for US Supreme Court).

Ex-hubby Charlie hypes it in advance, promises a bombshell that will rock the Wisconsin judiciary to its foundations. Other right-wing bloggers (you can guess who they are) join in.

So far, nothing in the mainstream news media.

Brace yourself for the campaign to get the state's newspapers to write about it. It might actually be worth a short story. But it is not the blockbuster either Sykes thinks it is. It's all pretty predictable stuff from an ambitious conservative judge who knows how to use the alternative media.

The court's not conservative since she left. Big surprise. Big deal.

Maybe she should just write an op ed column.

UPDATE: She gets her op ed.
