MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin Supreme Court justice says reports that he placed his hands around a fellow justice’s neck during an argument in her office are false.
Justice David Prosser told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the allegations involving him and Justice Ann Walsh Bradley “will be proven false” once a “proper review of the matter and the facts surrounding it are made clear.”
Wisconsin Public Radio and the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism, quoting anonymous sources, reported Saturday that the alleged altercation occurred before the Supreme Court’s decision earlier this month upholding Gov. Scott Walker‘s bill to cut public employees’ collective bargaining rights.
Messages that The Associated Press left with several of the justices and Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubbs were not returned Saturday.

“She must have made some very good points. The left, as almost always, when they are faced with pertinent, logical facts, resort to violence.”
“So once again we see the liberals concept of ‘hands on justice?’”

Posted on June 26, 2011 at 2:41pmFor Wisconsin’s leftists, the fractious and contentious teachers’ unions vs. Scott Walker debacle was concluded in a most unsatisfactory way, as was this most recent election in which Prosser was challenged, elected, re-challenged, votes re-counted, etc. When the left does not get its way, what do they usually do? Center for American Progress? Think Progress? Yup, the busy worker bees at these and any number of other Soros-funded 527s spring into action and create havoc to paint the Conservative Prosser in a negative light. There were many other experienced and, one assumes older jurists present at the time of the incident. Let‘s hope that their political leanings won’t prevent them from providing accurate and TRUTHFUL testimony. I‘m inclined to believe it’s the usual leftist ‘Waah, waah, we didn‘t get our way legally so we’re gonna play dirty now’, since we’ve seen it so many times before.

Posted on June 26, 2011 at 2:08pmProsser, the Republican judge, says Bradley (the woman) “charged him” and he put his hands up to “defend himself” and his hand accidentally came into contact with her throat. ["She swung her face around and it just happened to come into contact with my fist!"] Uh huh.
There were four other Supreme Court justices present. It is under investigation. We’ll just see if this is the truth, or not.

They are going after Clarence Thomas with a vengeance, too. We need a way to remove these destructive justices who chose to go the way of “the ends justify the means” and “damn the constitution”….they have an agenda, and that is what drives them.

Posted on June 26, 2011 at 12:44pmHere in Wisconsin, there is sooooo much hatred of republicans. Gov. Walker is getting everything he wants and Prosser was elected to another term as a supreme. The dems have lost at everything they have tried. Now the dems are doing what they excel at, lie. None of what is reported has been investigated. The story is all based on rumors.

Posted on June 26, 2011 at 12:25pmHere’s what I know for sure: One of these two lost control. There were (by review of other sources) witnesses. The “he said/she said” routine should crumble quickly if others were present and speak to the truth. That’s a big assumption… hopefully the allegation that there were witnesses means more than one and not a collection of cheerleaders for one or the other. Whoever the aggressor was should be charged with assault and removed from the bench, if not disbarred.
Report Post »One of the two is playing CYOA and should be made a media punching bag for weeks to come; the other deserves an apology. Let’s see how long this circus act is played out and how the partisans spin it.
I’m not rooting for one side or the other, I just want the damn truth followed by legal and professional consequences.
