David Prosser, the deciding vote on the Supreme Court of Corporate Dictatorship Fitzwalkerstan, formerly Wisconsin, won his seat under dubious circumstances, when an election official, his former employee, \u201cfound\u201d just enough extra votes for him to win.  Her Access database was the only evidence considered.  There was no recount of actual ballots.  Prosser must think himself bullet proof, because he has no compunction about criminally assaulting another Justice.  However he can be removed.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"26prosser\"Earlier today, news broke that Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser allegedly grabbed fellow Justice Ann Walsh Bradley<\/a> around the neck during argument in her chambers last week. If these allegations prove true, Prosser is guilty of a very serious crime<\/a>. Under Wisconsin law, \u201c[w]hoever intentionally causes bodily harm or threatens to cause bodily harm to the person or family member of any judge\u2026is guilty of a Class H felony<\/strong>,\u201d except with certain exceptions that don\u2019t apply here.<\/p>\n

Sadly, this is not the first time Prosser stands accused of a sexist attack on one of his fellow justices \u2014 although it appears to be the first allegation where he actually laid hands on one of his colleagues. Last year, during an argument with Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson, Prosser called her a \u201cbitch\u201d<\/a> and threatened to \u201cdestroy\u201d her.<\/p>\n

Like all accused criminals, Prosser enjoys a presumption of innocence and he should not be condemned until the evidence clearly shows that he is guilty. Should the allegations prove true, however, there are at least four paths to remove Justice Prosser from office<\/strong>… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The four ways are <\/font>resignation, impeachment, removal by address, recall.  Click through to the original article for a detailed explanation of each.  I think recall the most likely possibility, however I endoese whatever nonviolent, legal means will remove him.<\/font><\/p>\n

Given Republican love for and open support of violence, I\u2019m not surprised.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
