Here come the Feds.

I still don’t see any sanction - be it monetary or prison - on the prosecutors.

The above link is the same story at the CBS affiliate in Madistan, WI. One can read the responses at the end to get a feeling for the degree of delusion that exists there.

[Sir Napsalot]

Chilsom (spelling?) should sit in jail. At the very least he should face consequences, severe punishment. And those judges who rubber stamp the orders/investigations.

THEY want to make the Oregon bakers out as an example, the same should be made about the John Doe cases.

[Servant of the Cross]

I hope that someone is able to sue corrupt, biased, a**wipe state district attorney John Chisolm into bankruptcy for this unConstitutional invasion of property and rights without reason.

[Martin Tell]

Sue the bastards, their Party, their unions, the accomplices in the media, and the horses they rode in on. Take all their money, seize their houses, and kill their dogs. I won't be happy until all these guys are living in refrigerator cartons, and then I would seize those.

[jonno]

Is this related to the early morning JBT-raids that have occurred over the last few years? if so (as I recall), those being investigated were ordered to remain silent about the “investigation”.

If so, someone needs to pay a price - a counter-suit?

Hot Air’s take on the slap down of the John Doe investigation. Unfortunately, this is probably not the end. Many lawsuits shall (or should) follow.

Outstanding job by the Wisconsin SC!
This was an extremely important case that many of us have been following for some time.
And the article is correct that the decision is on Adequate and Independent state grounds which forecloses federal intervention.

[House Atreides]

“...A federal civil rights lawsuit was shut down by the 7th Circuit last year on the grounds that it was premature to involve the federal courts before the state courts had a chance to resolve the claims. That lawsuit, or one like it, may be revived. A state action for civil damages is also a possibility.”

I hope they financially nail the responsible ‘RAT statists to the wall and drain them of ALL their assets, both current and future.

[Norseman]

I wonder if it would be remotely possible to recall the two justices who ruled for the prosecutor in this case. The big stumbling block would be getting the nearly 600,000 signatures to effect a recall, but if that were done, I suspect a recall would be successful because of the egregious treatment of people in this so-called investigation. The ads would be devastating and GOP voters would turn out in droves.

But 600,000 signatures? Too many, way too many to get, I suspect. But they should be impeached for supporting this nonsense.

[meadsjn]

This decision does not punish the instigators of the John Doe II investigation, beyond tanking their reputations ...

Anything less than quick, fair trials, followed by swift and very public executions for the instigators and participants of these terrorist activities will be justice denied.

[darkangel82]

Wisconsin has a Republican AG. Just sayin’.

[FateAmenableToChange]

A state action for civil damages is also a possibility.

That opinion contains every code word necessary for the plaintiffs to assert a successful 18 USC § 1983 action, tort liability and probably state statutory liability against the prosecutors. I'm sure Wisconsin still has gobs of partisan democrat party political hack judges, so the victims will need to avoid those, but this opinion is about as clear a signal as possible that the prosecutor's immunity for personal liability may be about to go out the window.

[Shelayne]

This decision does not punish the instigators of the John Doe II investigation, beyond tanking their reputations for pursuing what a concurring justice calls “a fishing expedition into the lives, work, and thoughts of countless citizens.” A federal civil rights lawsuit was shut down by the 7th Circuit last year on the grounds that it was premature to involve the federal courts before the state courts had a chance to resolve the claims. That lawsuit, or one like it, may be revived. A state action for civil damages is also a possibility.

I hope it is more than a possibility. Chisholm and his little minions should lose more than their "reputations"!

[DB]

Civil cases against Chisholm and associates is not enough. What he and his associates did was criminal. Very criminal. There also needs to be reckoning of those who followed and/or enforced what he tried to impose such as the state police that conducted the raids he ordered all under the color of law. There should be no peace for these people for many years to come. What they did was vile.

Hot air’s take on yesterday’s action by the Wis. Supreme Court tossing the John Doe raids. Love the title of this one.
