Professor Kritzer Quoted in MinnPost Concerning Potential Electoral Opposition to Recently Appointed Associate Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court Karl Procaccini

In a MinnPost article concerning potential Republican opposition in 2024 to Karl Procaccini who was appointed to fill the associate justice position on the Minnesota Supreme Court created by the elevation of Natalie Hudson to the position of chief justice, Professor Kritzer observed that “The cases that have come before the Minnesota Supreme Court that it decided have not been the kinds of cases that have motivated outside groups, particularly business groups." He went on to note that in the extremely unlikely event that a challenger did defeat Procaccini [no incumbent has lot an election to the Court since 1946], it would not shift the political balance on the Court.
