WALKER: PROSSER CHOKING SCANDAL IS ‘EXTREMELY SERIOUS’ | In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s editorial board, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) called the recent scandal in which state Supreme Court Justice David Prosser allegedly grabbed another justice around the neck an “extremely serious” matter. Walker noted that the state is investigating it and said it would be inappropriate for him to “prejudge” Prosser. “But what I hear, if it’s true, obviously is extremely serious,” Walker said. “Even if it’s not the truth, but is somewhere in between the two, it is still a serious matter of grave concern, not just to me, but it should be for anybody in the state.” Watch Walker’s full answer:

:eyes:

when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor?

And he's unlucky that it's not Sarah Palin's bus, which would only run him over half way. ;-)

That was great!!

"It's very serious, and we don't take these things lightly in Wisconsin." Governor Walker said speaking to reporters outside the Justices' chambers. Then lifted his bullhorn and addressed his policemen, who darkened the halls with their impressive SWAT uniforms and gleaming equipment, "You have your orders - take her away. If you encounter any resistance, don't hesitate!"

And she was being a "total bitch" all the while, which is another aggravating circumstance at least, and may even merit an additional charge.

With Walker, I have a cringe factor - anything I presume to believe, that must mean that Walker is coming at it from a completely 180 degree opposite position.

So since I believe Prosser should be toast, in all actuality Walker really is indicating that Bradley is toast.

they are placing the blame on Bradley.

The sound of the bus running over Prosser. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

...pols, cops, military and the like.

They Serve to Protect Each Other.

This is bizarre.

I suppose one should be grateful that a republican recognizes that choking women isn't socially acceptable, even when the choker is another republican....

Then Walker appoints a replacement drone.

at the following Spring elections.

How many ballots will be found on personal laptops, and in bags with no seals?

:thumbsup:

Other wise they would hold it, on the year following.

“But what I hear, if it’s true, obviously is extremely serious,” Walker said. “Even if it’s not the truth, but is somewhere in between the two, it is still a serious matter of grave concern, not just to me, but it should be for anybody in the state.”

This statement seems to ramble on. I mean, maybe his full answer is something like:

But what I hear, if it’s true and not false or maybe true in the middle or maybe a little to one side or the other, obviously is extremely serious, or maybe not so obvious but rather somewhat suggested or rather a little more obvious than suggested,” Walker said. “Even if it’s not the truth, but is somewhere in between the two, and even if the truth is leaning toward one side or the other as I suggested, it is still a serious matter of grave concern or a grave matter of serous concern, not just to me but to others as well, well, maybe more to others or maybe to others in between me and the others, maybe folks closer to me but probably more to the others, but it should be for anybody in the state, and that includes our city and our county, and even our school district, and maybe water district, too.

and is willing to throw him under the bus now.

They already offered to provide him a bus.

relationship violence flourishes still, and rape survivors are vilified.

and it will come back with a finding of innocence. That's the Repuke way.

BTW, the mainstream media should be getting on this and the Thomas scandal more!

it really is... I pay taxes to the wealthy and have to tolerate sociopaths, religious extremists and bullshit artistry.

been divided up by corporations?

Walker - little Kocher.

He doesn't act without his Marching Orders, just like Scott et al.

You can tell from this line: "Even if it’s not the truth, but is somewhere in between the two, it is still a serious matter of grave concern, not just to me, but it should be for anybody in the state.”

Translation: Both Prosser and Bradley are at fault, but the real fault lies with Chief Justice Abrahamson for letting her court get so out of control. She should resign immediately.

That's the play here.

I really am worried about this statement. Walker always takes shit off into a new tangent and I am near-certain this is a slam on Bradley, not Prosser.

down. But really, I do not have to wonder--its Shirley Abrahaman -the Chief Justice who he wants out. Prosser is too important to him. After all, Prosser voted to eliminate collective bargaining for Walker. And it seems Prosser was pushing to get it out before they had to add it to the budget bill. I am not at all sure that the
Repups had the votes to pass it again.

I hadn't thought of this

Prosser is a criminal and a flight risk. He should be behind bars until his trial.

I think there were a total of 5 people in the room.

conservative judge on the court.

If Prosser is losing it that fast, that he goes off like he has been, I'm thinking he's beginning to feel guilty about what they are doing. Or just figured it out and is sickened at being a part of it. Either way, Walker can't afford having someone in his position, blowing it.

We've got enough nutfuckers here.

and appoint someone else while they are still in charge. In Walker's mind it will make him look evenhanded to the public. Anything else makes them look like they support violence against judges.

"The bus leaves at noon, be under it,"

It's only serious when they get caught, isn't it...

Boys will be boys, you know...
