Wisconsin Democratic Sen. Herb Kohl said Wednesday he supports President Obamaâ??s nomination of Louis Butler as a federal judge in Western Wisconsin despite the nomination being turned back in the U.S. Senate on Christmas Eve. A justice on the state Supreme Court from 2004 to 2008, Butler was defeated for re-election by current Justice Michael Gableman. He is currently jurist in residence and a lecturer at the University of Wisconsin Law School.
