Wis Supreme Court Judge Accused of Choking Fellow Judge

Post Reply New Topic

I think that what Inuyasha is saying (correct me if I am wrong--I am only trying to waddle through your obtuse sentence structure) is that either choking or bitch-slapping a judge is fine, so long as she is a "Liberal."

Wisconsin is probably one of the most toxic political environments in the whole country. Our politicians regularly threaten each other with violence.(generally coming from one side of the aisle) I doubt Prosser choked anybody but there probably was some sort of mutual confrontation between the two. Kinda reminds me of Maxine Waters and Dave Obey(coincidentally also a Wisconsin democrat) also getting into it a few years ago. Doubt anything comes of it.

You don't believe liberals, but you do believe conservatives? Why is that?

Actually, I've seen a news story on this Prosser guy, and from what I've heard, he's positively certifiable. Years ago, while acting as an attorney before the Wisconsin supreme court, in front of the whole court room he had called a female judge (the same one?) a b***h. To bad they don't perform a sanity test on state supreme court members.

This is normal behavior for a politician especially in this state. There really no decorum at all in the politics of this state.

Prosser is exhibiting classic victim-blaming behavior. In addition to claiming that it was his co-worker's fault that his hands ended up around her neck, he also claims that it was the other Judge's fault that he called her a b***h.

he is being investigated by the police for assault:

Gordon Hintz, a democrat state assemblyman, threatened to literally kill Michele Litjens, a republican state assemblywoman, on the floor of the state assembly earlier this year. That was like a week or two after he got busted in a prostitution ring. Something tells your outrage is motivated by something other than a damsel in distress.

If you charge somebody with your hands up, then you're the aggressor. It doesn't matter if you're man or woman, you can't do that. If they want to investigate then go right ahead, there were plenty witnesses. I somehow doubt anything comes of this since it apparently happened like a month or so ago and there are contradicting stories. If it turns out she is the one lying or exaggerating her story, then she should resign. If he's lying, he should be charged and resign. Either way, Scott Walker chooses the replacement. The budget repair bill is law and has been upheld in court. Nothing changes.

What you guys don't realize how desperate the state democrats in this state have been in since Walker has taken office. Just a complete contempt of the democratic process, it's been embarrassing. They lost the election and they haven't stopped crying since.

It's funny, in a sad way, that these same people were crying about heated rhetoric after the tragedy in Arizona while they're foaming at the mouths now. It's only a matter of time until some nutjob takes them seriously and tries something.

The woman judge is claiming that he 'put his hands around her neck in anger.' Curling your hands around someone's neck is not the same as blocking with your hands.

I had a woman literally run straight into me once in a Friday night capture-the-flag game (incidentally, I suspect that the reason more adults don't play games like this is that adults have a lot more mass and can injure themselves and others when stuff like this happens, more so than kids) - I put up my hands to stop her (I was guarding the flag) and she just ran into me. I guess she expected me to move... anyway, point being that my hands were at body-level, not neck-level. Even if they had been at neck level (which would have been a deliberate clothesline), they wouldn't have ended up curled around her neck. Even if Prosser did initially put up his hands to protect himself, it changed to something else when he grabbed her neck.
