Rebecca Bradley Changed? "...big money liberal elites...vicious, they lie...dirtier than ever." Not so much.

The ad below is..."Paid for by Citizens for Justice Rebecca Bradley, Patrick Knight, Treasurer."

Hey, She hasn't changed!!! The partisan, decidedly negative ad Rebecca Bradley approved and paid for proves she hasn't changed since 1992. What she said 24 years ago about queer loving, flag burning, radical, socialist, pot smoking liberals who voted for Bill Clinton when she was at Marquette University... 

"...We've just had an election which proves the majority of voters are either totally stupid or entirely evil..."    

...applies today. The "vicious" lies against Bradley mentioned in the ad below by crazy Sheriff Clarke were direct quotes from her own writings.

Bradley: "The PC movement is entirely the agenda of feminists, gays, liberal extremists and 1960's radicals who never left school and consequently are largely ignorant of the real world."

Proof - She's still the same Rebecca Bradley!!! "Paid for by Citizens for Justice Rebecca Bradley," repeats the theme she made against Clinton voters: 

"I’m Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke. I know a little something about what it’s like when the Big money liberal elites come gunning for you. They’ve got the media in their back pocket. They’re vicious, they lie, and this time, they’re out to get Justice Rebecca Bradley. I’d call it mudslinging but it’s dirtier than that."

I’m Justice Rebecca Bradley. It’s no surprise my opponent and her partisan allies are running a false, viciously personal smear campaign against me.

Her peers aren't impressed either:

Milwaukeee Bar Association Releases 2016 Judicial Poll Results regarding the qualifications of judicial candidates that appear on the ballot in Milwaukee County. 

Yikes, 138 say she's not qualified, compared to JoAnne Kloppenburg's 48. Not even close.

Or we could do what the press in Wisconsin has been doing for years, acting like it's so hard to know...

Defending Bradley's hate speech a twisted contradictory nightmare...

The bottom line for Rebecca Bradley; she has the temperament of a teenage "bad girl." It's obvious and embarrassing. Wisconsin's high court is already the laughing stock of the nation. But there's something else...

Even though the latest Kloppenburg-Bradley debate didn’t offer up anything new, something did occur to me that I think got lost in all the rhetoric. 

Rebecca Bradley has been attacking JoAnne Kloppenburg for being “liberal,” and warned that her presence on the court would result in left wing decisions. Aside from the fact the court, with or without Bradley, would still be an activist conservative one, Bradley then went on to inadvertently destroying her own argument.

In one instance, Bradley concedes her personal opinions are important in this race:

"I'm not the type of person who ever wants to hurt someone," Bradley said. "I've gone through a process of change, I've grown up, I've grown as a person."

But when Kloppenburg questioned any evidence of that change, Bradley flipped it around and claimed it didn't matter:

"We're people. We have opinions on the issues of the day. Once we put the black robe on ... we put those opinions aside."

If that were true, that would have to include everyone, even Kloppenburg. But it didn't.

And if you want to make the argument that only conservatives can push their feelings aside, what would explain the claim by Republicans that the GAB had to be dismantled because even judges can't leave their political leanings behind? They basically said an all partisan elections board was no different than a group of former judges, pretending to be non-partisan. 

Keep in mind that Kloppenburg isn’t the one with a history of exclusion, or bashing individuals for their sexual preference and their choice for president. Only Bradley has done that.

In one of the more bizarre media writings to date, Wisconsin State Journal columnist Chris Rickert somehow compared Bradley's homophobia, women invite rape, liberals voting for Bill Clinton are dumb, partisan Federalist Society membership, and birth control is murder documented statements to Kloppenburg's kind words for retiring union leader John Matthews: 

Now that state Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley has been outed as a reformed (she says) homophobe who leaves oral arguments early to speak before the state’s conservative business lobby ... Kloppenburg said she “couldn’t miss gathering with some of the best people in Wisconsin to honor the most amazing John Matthews.”

Ouch? Smooth Chris, that's the same? God it's fun watching these guys twist into pretzels trying to explain their vacuous unprincipled flip floppy positions.

Behold Bradley's sense of entitlement; "I deserve a little more respect than I'm receiving," after disrespecting AIDS victims & calling them degenerates.

I nearly spit out my coffee this morning after hearing a miffed Rebecca "bigot" Bradley whine about supporter frustration over a little hate speech. Poor baby. This is a hybrid form of the Fox News trick "some say...:" Wisconsin Public Radio:

"They cannot understand why the media is going after me like this. They cannot understand why the media is going after me like this. I'm somebody who has put myself out there to serve the people of Wisconsin, and I deserve a little more respect than I'm receiving." 

That's a fine example of Bradley's "hot headed" temperament. After JoAnne Kloppenburg pointed out how Bradley continues to espouse right wing positions on the issues (like contraception is murder), Bradley blew up and childishly attacked Kloppenburg (at 2:21)...not exactly the kind of behavior you want to see on the bench. The Milwaukee Bar Association Forum :



Bradley's "orginalist philosophy" is the preposterous idea that only conservative judges and justice know exactly what the founding fathers meant when they wrote the Constitution.

Kloppenburg highlighted Bradley's volatile temperament, lack of maturity and disrespect for the litigants/attorney's appearing before the state's highest court when she left during arguments to fund raise with WMC lobbyists. With the calm and precision of a Supreme Court justice, Kloppenburg laid it all out:



After Scott Walker tried and failed to unconstitutionally silence the protesters at the Capitol with a bizarre set of permits and free speech restrictions, the state asked the Court of Appeals to insert specific language that would make the law whole again, which they refused to do. Kloppenburg is on that court and wrote the decision. The State v Crute:



On an interesting side note, Bradley is outraged that the soft spoken Kloppenburg continually brings up how Scott Walker appointed her 3 times in 3 years. Bradley said Walker was just doing his "constitutional duty" when there was a vacancy...a duty Democrats like Obama don't have I guess, especially in their last year in office. Ironic?:



Soft spoken Kloppenburg is tough. Check out her closing statement. As for Bradley, has she got a bad case of projection or what...:

Bradley:"If people instead want to be dictated to and ruled by a majority of justices that happen to sit on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, they will elect Judge Kloppenburg."  

I'd like to remind Bradley that with or without her, there's still a conservative activist majority:
