We wrote earlier about Supreme Court Justice and candidate David Prosser.
He's the guy who, in a meeting with other justices, called the Chief Justice a "total bitch," then threatened "I will destroy you ... and it won't be a ground war." That's judicial temperament, Republican-style.
Prosser is the next shoe to drop in Wisconsin. He's the incumbent in a hot April 5 race with JoAnn Kloppenberg for a 10-year seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. More from the Wisconsin Gazette (my emphasis):
The conservative candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court is incumbent Justice David Prosser. He is part of a slim conservative majority on the increasingly contentious high court. Some have raised serious concerns regarding what appears to be an increased level of partisanship from Prosser leading up to this election.
In an early campaign press release, Prosser announced his plan to be a “complement” to the new right-wing Republican state Legislature and governor. ... Although some have suggested that the problematic press release simply was a poor choice of words, Prosser went on to immediately court support at a Republican women’s group.
Prosser has been a speaker at right-wing events, where he’s shared the spotlight with some of the most ardent foes of equality. A good example is the Defending the American Dream Summit, which was sponsored by a coalition that reads like a who’s who of right-wing Wisconsin extremist groups, including the Wisconsin Family Council.
