In April, Wisconsin supreme court justice Shirley Abrahamson filed a patently frivolous (and evidently perjured) lawsuit against the operation of a voter-adopted referendum that effectively displaced her as chief justice. The legal reasoning in her complaint is just the sort of activist nonsense that Abrahamson has been notorious for during her decades on the court.

Even after an Obama appointee issued a thorough ruling that granted summary judgment against her, Abrahamson filed an appeal with the Seventh Circuit.

I’m pleased to pass along the news from yesterday that Abrahamson has decided not to pursue her appeal. So now everyone can agree that Abrahamson is not appealing as a judge.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for Abrahamson to make Wisconsin taxpayers whole for the money the state spent defending against her frivolous claims. But perhaps the state will seek attorney’s fees.

We’ll also see if Abrahamson finally stops using her “chief justice” letterhead.
