RIP Judicial Decorum

[Point of Order]

Wis. Supreme Court Justice accused of choking female fellow justice, calling her and another "total *******." His defense apparently is that they had it coming.

Another blog is stating the opposite happened.

Prosser still should have been kicked off the bench for calling another justice a "total *****."

I'm really glad that 7,000 people in Brookfield supposedly voted for this guy.

Your own judicial chambers are a great place to get your ass kicked.

Great, a he said/she said case. Both of them should be suspended until one of those versions is proven as a lie.

Stitch, I'm with you on the "*****" comment. If Prosser's that out of control and can't check himself, he needs to be removed. The judge's chamber and courtroom is the last damn place to go postal in.

She is the Chief Justice.

There's too much smoke from this guy for there not to be a fire of some sort, IMO.

Honestly, if you are a judge and anything like this went down (whatever side you are on) - and it hasn't been reported until now - they should all be disbarred.

I blame the Illuminati.

When I clicked on this thread, I thought (hoped?) it was going to involve Justice Thomas offering Justice Sotomayor a can of Coke.

 

[HejiraHenry]

Pitch them both and let Walker appoint two new judges ... that would be OK with you guys, right?

 

[Point of Order]

I'd rather our criminal justice system actually get to the bottom of it.

Free PR tip: If you're accuse of "chokin' a *****" don't snatch the mic out of the TV guy's hand on camera.

well i'm a lawyer in florida and every day i deal with idiot and incompetent and power-hungry judges.

we lawyers call it 'black robe syndrome.' you put on the robe and instantly forget what it's like to be a lawyer who has a duty to clients and you become an arrogant total ****ing asshole.

i haven't been practicing all that long (four years) but i have yet to meet a circuit court judge that i respect.

Newly-elected (after a close and contentious election) Wisconsin State Supreme Court Justice, David Prosser, grabbed the microphone away from a local Fox-News/Channel-6 reporter who was attempting to elicit comments from Justice Prosser as to the allegations that Prosser had attacked a fellow State Supreme Court justice member in chambers – what several on-hand staffers who witnessed the incident described as a “chokehold”.
