Title has been changed. The original choice of wording was unacceptable for a title.
The poster knew this when he created the title as evidenced by his first comment.
Poster has also ignored a polite PM to correct the title even after being online for 9 hours after the initial request.
Posters privileges are suspend for ignoring the Moderators.
Poster has been left with other means of communicating if he wishes to.

Sorry, given the circumstances I just couldn't help myself with the title.

Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley issued a statement late Saturday saying that fellow Justice David Prosser choked her and disputing claims that she attacked him first.

"The facts are that I was demanding that he get out of my office and he put his hands around my neck in anger in a chokehold," she said. "Those are the facts and you can try to spin those facts and try to make it sound like I ran up to him and threw my neck into his hands, but that's only spin.

"Matters of abusive behavior in the workplace aren't resolved by competing press releases," she said.

"I'm confident the appropriate authorities will conduct a thorough investigation of this incident involving abusive behavior in the workplace."

Prosser acknowledged in March that he called Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson a "bitch" and threatened to "destroy" her during a closed-door meeting.

At the time, Prosser told the Journal Sentinel that the outburst to Abrahamson came after the chief justice took steps to undermine him politically and to embarrass him and other court conservatives.

"In the context of this, I said, 'You are a total bitch," Prosser said. "I probably overreacted, but I think it was entirely . . . warranted. They (Abrahamson and Bradley) are masters at deliberately goading people into perhaps incautious statements. This is bullying and abuse of very, very long standing."

In a March interview Bradley said Prosser had flashes of extreme anger on and off over the years.

“It’s been going on for years off and on,” she said in March of Prosser’s outbursts.

But another source told the Journal Sentinel that Bradley attacked Prosser.

"She charged him with fists raised," the source said.

Prosser "put his hands in a defensive posture," the source said. "He blocked her."

In doing so, the source said, he made contact with Bradley's neck.

Argument over decision

Another source said the justices were arguing over the timing of the release of the opinion, which legislative leaders had insisted they needed by June 14 because of their work on the state budget. As the justices discussed the case, Abrahamson said she didn't know whether the decision would come out this month, the source said.

At that point, Prosser said he'd lost all confidence in her leadership. Bradley then came across the room "with fists up," the source said. Prosser put up his hands to push her back.

Bradley then said she had been choked, according to the source. Another justice - the source wouldn't say who - responded, "You were not choked."

Meh, looks like the "bitch" was the one who attacked Prosser. Looks like this little hit piece the JS tried(the linked article is an "updated" one - the initial reports only cited the 1 witness and ignored the other 2. Maybe the "bitch" should resign for attacking Prosser...

Who gives a shit?

The have-nots asking for more from the haves as they enrage on why they have to actually pay for something or contribute to their retirement. Wisconsin is the crucible on whether or not our country can survive. It is our modern day Lexington/Concord.

Social and economic "justice" is what they want and they will not stop when reality hits them. Prep. When their free shit starts getting cut back it will start (where we are at now), when it's cut off then it has truly begun. Choose sides wisely and pay attention to what is happening in EU.

Nearly all law that applies in your everyday life is state law, not federal law and the state supreme court is the highest court in that regard. The court should be a body of august lawyers debating the law-probably heated discussions at times, but always civil.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court had a very high reputation for decades, but apparently it has slipped a lot since I left the state and lost contact with its legal system. This alleged behavior, if true, is absolutely abhorrent and a travesty.

I've seen lower court judges disciplined and even kicked off the bench for far less.

But what is one going to do?

It's not right to say "I hate Gov. Walker & the GOP, therefore Prossler's account is true."
It's not right to say "I approve of Gov. Walker & the GOP, therefore Bradley's account is true."

But, this is exactly how the popular media will handle this incident. The rest of us? What chance do we have to know what "the truth" is? And as I say this, we all know the usual suspects will chime in and accuse me of apologizing. Defending "my side".

And I'm willing to place everything I have, on some people, if one person cannot be thrown off the court, advocating for both thrown off the court, only because new elections could "shift the balance".

How does one separate out objectiveness and partisanship?

One is going to vote. That's all you can do and why you are seeing the conservative/freedom loving American awakening. "I have to work", is no longer an excuse for not voting.

If it comes to a judge choking out a liberal bitch, then so be it. We MUST defend this nation against all enemies both foreign and domestic. They took an oath, and they damn better well keep it.

I could not agree more. But, if there is nothing but an "He said. She said." why bother. We will never know the truth. The court systems of the Federal, State and local governments have descended into partisan politics. That's sad and will bring this nation to its knees. No judge in this land ought ever have an inital (R, D or whatever) behind their name.

Seriously, reel it in and stop posting drunk. You can't possibly be this big a moron. Or can you?

Yea but only leaks have come out so far and you know some of them may not be real or even there to see.

Of course the guy went off the deep end with his lang for another peer, per the OPs links, so he may need witness's if his story is true.

All enemies. Both foreign and domestic.

So you are only in favor of the rule of law applying to the other side? Basically that means you don't really believe in the rule of law...

I thought you righties liked the Constitution and "rights"? Or are you in favor of adding another amendment that says "The above applies to you only if you agree with me politically"?

If you are truly in favor of judges "choking a bitch" for no other reason than said bitches political leaning then you sir are the enemy.

I understand getting thumped for my original title, but not why a certain other poster in this thread apparently got a pass from the mods.
