Attorney for @govwalker says Justice David Prosser is vital to anti-worker agenda http://thkpr.gs/ei77ap

Prosser originally billed his reelection campaign as being about “protecting the conservative judicial majority and acting as a common sense complement to both the new [Walker] administration and Legislature.” Recently, however, he has attempted to claim independence. But Hagedorn’s e-mail laid it plain to Walker’s supporters: elect Prosser, or the governor’s agenda is in peril. From the e-mail:

“If Justice Prosser loses:

* The Supreme Court will shift from a 4-3 conservative majority to a 4-3 liberal majority.

* Governor Walker’s agenda could be stopped in its tracks by this new activist majority.

* Union bosses and their allies will be emboldened and further push to recall the brave Senators who voted for Governor Walker’s budget repair bill.

* (Chief Justice) Shirley Abrahamson and her allies will continue to drag down the reputation of the Court, with an additional vote to further push through their radical agenda.”

"In recent years, judicial elections have been among some of the nastiest in the country. But next week's election for a seat on the Wisconsin state supreme court might go down in history as one of the worst."

"Sadly, this is not the only example of Prosser fighting hard to protect his colleagues from judicial ethics rules. Last year, during a debate over whether one of his colleagues should be required to recuse from certain cases, Prosser erupted at the state’s chief justice, calling her a “bitch” and threatening to “destroy” her."
