Wisconsin's Violent Judge


There are reports that Wisconsin Rethuglican State Supreme Court Justice David "Prossertute" Prosser was guilty of grabbing a fellow Justice around the neck in an argument in her chambers last week. Justice Ann Walsh Bradley asked Prossertute to leave her office when he became angry and grabbed her around the neck, during discussions about whether to curtail the collective bargaining rights of public employees.

This isn't the first time that the right-wing Justice has threatened a female jurist: last year during an argument, he called Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson a "bitch" and threatened to destroy her. A long time Rethuglican political hack, Prossertute served as the speaker of the State Assembly, and has voted in lockstep with corporate interests and right-wing causes. He won a very close, controversial election last year, after a Rethuglican county clerk "discovered" votes for him missing from an earlier tally, which put him ahead by 7,000 out of 1.5 million cast. Very convenient.

An anger management class won't help this out-of-control hack, but a voter recall of him would help Wisconsin.
