Untouchable: Prosser's mind finally snaps! Get this guy off the Supreme Court Bench!!!

Want proof Wisconsin has a conservative activist Supreme Court, controlled by a majority of authoritarian Justices who think they're all above the law?

Look no further than the case presented below by Justice David Prosser.

You'll see how easy it is for this particular justice to reshape the facts, the law, and to stretch reality to
fit the outcome he desires. This is nothing short of shocking. First, a short summary:
WSJ: The three alleged ethics violations stem from a June 13 incident in which Prosser acknowledges putting his hands around the neck of Justice Ann Walsh Bradley "to protect himself" and a February 2010 incident in which he admits calling Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson "a total bitch."
Prosser's twisted response is breathtaking:
State Supreme Court Justice David Prosser said that the Wisconsin Judicial Commission's investigation into his alleged ethical violations is itself a violation of his constitutional rights, according to a court filing. Prosser said that the commission "may not investigate or prosecute protected speech, advocacy and etiquette of Wisconsin Supreme Court justices when they are deliberating in confidential closed conferences. For an outside agency dominated by gubernatorial appointees to seek to breach the confidentiality of closed Supreme Court conferences in order to monitor, oversee and prosecute the speech and lawful conduct of justices would violate the separation of powers and disrupt the work of the Supreme Court.”

He also charged that the complaint is "frivolous" because all of the justices either witnessed or participated in at least one of the alleged incidents and "will never be able to sit as judges in this case."

Allowing complaints like the one filed against him also would deny justices the ability to defend themselves without violating the court's ethical rules requiring them to maintain confidentiality, Prosser said in his response.
Prosser was just reelected by conservative voters. If they have any standards at all, they would have to admit, there is something seriously wrong with him.
