Bradley-Prosser confrontation gets even sillier
hot ^ | 6/28/11 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 06/28/2011 11:11:12 AM PDT by Nachum

Christian Schneider brings us the latest news from the scuffle between Wisconsin state Supreme Court justices David Prosser and Ann Walsh Bradley, which has taken on more of the characteristics of a Jerry Springer episode than a First Monday in October vibe. According to more sources, Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson involved law enforcement, which got uninvolved as soon as possible in the claims and counterclaims, a path open to them since Bradley didn’t choose to file charges. Instead, Schneider reports that sources believe Bradley and Abrahamson chose to leak the story to a left-wing website in order to embarrass Prosser in retaliation:

On Monday night, Bradley called Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubbs to talk to him about the incident. On the morning of Wednesday, June 15, Tubbs joined the justices in a closed-door meeting, where he discussed “issues relating to workplace violence.”

During the meeting, Chief Justice Abrahamson actually reenacted the incident on Chief Tubbs — no doubt an amusing sight, as the diminutive Abrahamson mimicked choking the tall, portly police chief. During her demonstration, Abrahamson emphasized that Prosser had exerted “pressure” on Bradley’s throat.

Just another silly liberal who can’t “win” in the arena of ideas and tries to use the force of The State to get her way.

He probably did. By using logic on her and causing her to yell.

If you want to ready what happened from eyewitness reports, read this: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/270679/more-details-emerge-wisconsin-s-chokegate-christian-schneider

I read somewhere that she’d previously called the cops (or threatened to) because someone used a profanity.

Liberals...

From everything I can discern from the reporting thus far, there are no witnesses and no marks.

That means no charges.

I agree with commenter Jenna

One person is not allowed to move aggressively into another person’s private space. Since Judge Bradley was the aggressor who moved into Judge Prosser’s private space, she was in the wrong and he had no obligation to move.

NUFF SAID!

Prosser’s first mistake was to beleive that he had an agreement with a Liberal. All the rest merely follows.

If he actually did choke some lefty judge, that would be an endearing quality as far as I’m concerned.

Wow! That article deserves its own thread :

“There was no pressure,” interrupted the justice who had initially broken up the incident between Bradley and Prosser. “That’s only because you broke us apart,” shot back Bradley. This exchange led several meeting attendees to believe Bradley was making up the charge, as they took her rejoinder as an admission that there was no pressure applied to her neck.

During the Wednesday meeting, Bradley urged the justices present to take a vote on whether Prosser should be forced into anger-management counseling. The threat was implicit — if they didn’t vote her way, she would be forced to “take the next step” against Prosser, which they took to mean filing a restraining order against him. The other justices balked, wondering whether they even had the authority to order Prosser into any type of counseling. Some thought it would be “demeaning” to Prosser to have to go to counseling when he had done nothing wrong. In the end, Bradley realized she didn’t have enough justices on her side and no vote was taken.

To date, Bradley has not filed any kind of charges against Prosser. Instead, the story was leaked to the George Soros–funded Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism, who used three anonymous sources to back up Bradley’s story. There were six justices present at the time of the incident, four of whom would be more likely to back Prosser’s version of the story. That leaves Abrahamson and Bradley as the only two remaining justices present. One source present speculated the third source may have been Bradley’s law clerk, who likely didn’t actually see the confrontation but may have head Bradley shout “I was choked.”

Emphasis added.

That lying bitch Bradley didn’t press charges for the same reason Weiner didn’t file a police report when somebody “hacked” his account.

There were 6 witnesses, 4 of whom say it did not happen.

Can Scott Walker nominate Prosser as Chief Justice, replacing this bitch?

The woman did attempt to murder the man in cold blood.

Don't give her credit just because she didn't succeed.

She needs to be sent to prison. Prosser should have her prosecuted.
