http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/09/wis_justice_gableman_issues_correction_--_says_bra.php?ref=fpbWisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, a conservative, is responding to criticism from the court's liberals, regarding his allegation to investigators that liberal Justice Ann Walsh Bradley hit him during a court meeting on September 18, 2008 -- a date when the court did not meet. Gableman's answer is that he is correcting a lapse of memory: It did happen on September 18 --Â but in 2009.
Gableman made the allegation during the investigation of a physical altercation in June, about which Bradley accused Justice David Prosser, the leader of the court's conservatives, of grabbing her neck in a "chokehold." Prosser replied to investigators that Bradley charged at him, and he reflexively put up his hands to block her, accidentally making contact with her neck. Ultimately, no charges were filed.
However, the court's liberals -- Bradley, Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson, and Justice Patrick Crooks -- all informed the Wisconsin State Journal that the court didn't even meet on September 18, 2008, nor any other day that week, due to a request by conservative Justice Patience Roggensack that the court take a two-week period off. Bradley told the paper: "Justice Gableman recounts an event that never happened on a date that, according to my records, it could not have occurred."
