David Prosser, the Wisconsin Strangler, has issues:
Wisconsin state Supreme Court Justice David Prosser, who has been publicly accused of putting Justice Ann Walsh Bradley in a chokehold, had another flare-up on Thursday — this time with a reporter.
The local Fox affiliate in Milwaukee sent reporter Mike Lowe to the state Capitol in Madison, seeking to track down the members of the Supreme Court, including Prosser, and repeatedly ask them for comment.
In all, Lowe caught up with four out of the seven Justices. Of course, the Justices predictably declined to comment on a matter that is under a pending investigation — especially a story that is embarrassing the court.
But when Prosser met up with Lowe, he quickly grabbed the microphone out of Lowe’s hand before just as quickly handed it right back to the surprised reporter — apparently realizing that was a really bad idea in front of a video camera
I think Prosser needs to retire, maybe spend his golden years choking those damn kids who won’t stay off of his lawn….

Oops.
Your honor, my client would never dream of… what? Oh. Well, yes it does appear that he’s trying to strangle the prosecutor, but I’m sure there’s, uhm, okay, look we seem to have pulled him off, may I continue? Now, as I was saying … oh for the luvva… Justice Prosser, put down that baliff! Bad client! And so, your Honor, in summary….
Well, you know, sometimes things aren’t exactly what they appear to be.
I hope you will give us the courtesy and compassion that Justice Prosser’s upcoming rehab deserves.
First, it was ‘yer-on-her’, now it’s ‘yer-on-him’. WTF, Prosser?
This must be another example of ‘justice on steroids’, like those cops who don’t like cell phone cameras.
Prosser needs some serious therapy in a lock down institution.
He’s like a white collar Ted Nugent… Gives a whole new meaning to the term “activist judge.” Of course, this is all OKIYAR. Hell, I assume Prosser ran on a platform of More Violent Outbursts, Less Justice, and that was how he convinced (albeit a narrow majority) of voters that he was the perfect choice for the Supreme Court.
Dear Justice Prosser,
I like the cut of your jib, Sir!
Let’s get together and compare notes when Sarah, that fat kid of hers and I come to fleece your town.
Best,
Ragin’ Todd Palin
Obviously, somebody is feelin’ a twitchy bit guilty about how he got elected.
You know, and not just that. D’you think Justice Prosser could be shitting bricks that the assault was caught on videotape? Is it unreasonable to think there are security cams running in chambers during deliberations, or even 24/7?
No wonder all the “no comments” from the other Justices. The good people of Wisconsin will be able to watch the whole thing eventually.
Title is an instant classic. You, sir, are a super genius. And not the Wile E. Coyote kind.
Radio silence on Althouse- suhPRAHZ! suhPRAHZ! Must be cracking the box early.
How can you expect anyone to pay attention to the Wisconsin Supreme Court when you have Wembely’s feed me/take me for a walk/pay attention to me gaddamit look look in the same frame, right below the stuff about the Wisconsin Supreme Court?
Nah, methinks all the wingnuts are just holding back, hoping against hope that Breitbart has another Weiner story with which to distract the pliable media.
Lifelong assholism exacerbated in late 60′s/early 70′s? Gotta suspect dementia is settling into the neighborhood between Davey’s ears…

I blame the brown acid.
Maybe there is video, doubt there’s sound. While monitoring is routine, remember that the government types usually exempt themselves from rules they impose on the rest of us.
I’m not so sure Prosser won, but we’ll never find out now. With the ruling the Court gave on the legislature’s flouting of the open meeting law (Prosser being the tiebreaker) WI got what they voted for. Just like them voting Walker in as governor, or Johnson in as Senator instead of Feingold. Let’s not forget how these clowns got into office.
Probably, and while that would help the Republican cause by taking the attention of the angry partisan Republican, it won’t help Justice Compulsively Grabby any. Guy’s going to be hard to defend if he can’t even control himself with suspicion high and the cameras rolling.
Sort of reminds me of this guy. “Oh yeah? You say I clamped someone? Anyone who says that gets clamped!”
Belated spew alert!!1!!!11!!!!
(God, I’m still laughing.)
@ petesh….
“I blame the brown acid.”
Speaking of Acid….check out the trailer for this new film….it’s looks like just about all of the original film Kesey shot of the of the Merry Pranksters and the Acid Tests …and the adventures “On The Bus” named Further.
There all there ( and looking quite young )….The Dead..Neal Cassady…Mountain Girl…
Some of us Dirty Fucking Hippies have been waiting decades to see this stuff.
Cowboy Neal at the wheel….

That should have read “Their all there”….ack.
Christ, I hope this Neal Cassady bloke’s not running for office, what, with the dead mountain girl and all….
@ gunsbeforebutter
Heh….Definitely reads funny….
Old Egyptian proverb…
” In the land of the dark, the ship of the Sun is piloted by the Grateful Dead.”
Of course Neal has long been dead and Mountain Girl is alive and gorgeous as ever…
It just goes to prove . . . In WI even a homicidal maniac can make good.
Tinted windowpane?
Hell, if you’re a Repub, finding a dead intern, who was suspected of having an affair with you just a few months earlier, which lead to a divorce from your wife, as you were a sitting US Congressperson of which you then promptly resign, leads to a major job promotion and pay increase to a major slot on MSNBC, thereby having an incredible influence over America’s public discourse and voting patterns. This is what happened for Joe Scarburied:

So if Neal runs as a Repub, I’d say he’s already got it locked up, no matter who turns up dead.
