Republican DA in charge of Prosser prosecution…Big Surprise.

At least Justice David Prosser will get a fair investigation into the allegations he choked a fellow Justice, from a fellow conservative. As we have seen around the nation, and what we know to be true, the good DA’s, judges and justices are all straight arrow Republicans who are more concerned about the law than politics.

Of course, this conservative DA is different:

jsonline: Sauk County District Attorney Patricia Barrett will serve as special prosecutor in the investigation of a physical altercation between two state Supreme Court justices. Barrett said she did not know how long her review of the case would take because she has not yet seen the sheriff's reports. She said she was not concerned about any politics associated with the case. Barrett was elected as a Republican, but said she has long advocated making district attorneys' positions non-partisan. "Politics should play no role in what we do," she said.

Meanwhile and far away...

Last week, the sheriff's department also provided its reports to the Wisconsin Judicial Commission, which oversees the state's ethics code for judges and is separately investigating the case. Jim Alexander, director of the commission, said there was no timeline for conducting its investigation.
