US Supreme Court Justice sworn in while running 100-mile marathon
August 6: New Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Jill Karofsky was sworn in while running a 100-mile (161-kilometre) ultramarathon.
Karofsky, who finished the run Sunday, was sworn in around 1 p.m. Saturday at the 35-mile marker of her route in south-central Wisconsin. State Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Dallet administered the oath of office in Basco, the Associated Press reported.
Karofsky began running Saturday at 6 a.m. WMTV-TV reports the run took her about 34 hours to complete. Karofsky shared an image of herself at mile 99 on Twitter around 3 p.m. Sunday. The liberal-leaning Karofsky defeated incumbent Daniel Kelly in April to narrow the court’s conservative majority to 4-3.
