One Good Accusation Deserves another? Justice Gableman tries to prove Justice Anne Walsh Bradley the Court Abuser.

UPDATE: Yeah, right!!!  TPM:

Allegation that liberal Justice Ann Walsh Bradley hit him during a court meeting on September 18, 2008 -- a date when the court did not meet. Gableman's answer is that he is correcting a lapse of memory: It did happen on September 18 -- but in 2009. In any event, the incident happened exactly as I related it to the officers and as it was set forth in the report. While Justice Bradley might not be able to recall it, I certainly do." 

Justice Michael Gableman lied his way in the court, avoided punishment due to a decision by his conservative cohort Justice Prosser, and now has a tale to tell about Justice Bradley. What is it about the media pass these conservative activist justices are given for provably inaccurate statements?

One thing for sure, high court women justices are a tough intimidating bunch. 

WSJ: Three Wisconsin Supreme Court justices are disputing an allegation by Justice Michael Gableman that Justice Ann Walsh Bradley rapped him on the head during a 2008 meeting at which they were reportedly present.

Gableman relayed the alleged incident to Dane County Sheriff's deputies during the investigation into a June 13 altercation between Bradley and Justice David Prosser. The event took place during a meeting with the other justices on Sept. 18, 2008, Gableman said, a date he said he remembers because it was his birthday and just weeks after he joined the court … Gableman said he was in a meeting with other justices, including Justice Patrick Crooks, who he said was "reading the horoscopes." Gableman said he made a joking comment to Abrahamson, calling her by her first name … In response, Gableman said, "Justice Bradley came over to him, hit him on the back of the head and told him that he needed to show respect to the chief," according to sheriff's reports. He said he believed Bradley wasn't being playful because no one was laughing at the time.

Asked to respond to the allegation, Bradley said in an email to the Wisconsin State Journal that "Justice Gableman recounts an event that never happened on a date that, according to my records, it could not have occurred. "And Abrahamson said that, according to her records, "no meeting, conference or oral argument of the court occurred on September 18, 2008, or on any day that week." She said she asked Bradley and Crooks to check their records, which also show no meetings that week. And, she said, Justice Patience Roggensack earlier requested that the court not schedule anything between Sept. 15 and Sept. 29 that year.

Former Supreme Court Justice Janine Geske called the contradiction between Gableman's account and the denials by the three justices "disturbing" and the account itself "bizarre." "I have known Justice Bradley for 20 years. I cannot imagine her hitting another justice in anger because he (Gableman) called Justice Abrahamson 'Shirley' — because everybody calls her Shirley," said Geske, adding that even the custodial staff at the court refers to the chief justice by her first name.

Gableman is a zealot conservative, bought and paid for Wisconsin Manufacturing and Commerce. His credibility dissipated quickly after this recent comment about his good friend David Prosser:

Gableman also insisted to the detectives that Prosser never put his hands on Bradley's neck. But even Prosser acknowledged doing that, calling it a "total reflex."
