The problem with Prosser
The newspaper observes: “From calling the chief justice a ‘bitch’ during the run-up to the campaign, to issuing a news release indicating he would complement the new Republican governor, to trying to appeal in a ham-handed way to Milwaukee County voters by citing his rulings, Prosser — and not JoAnne Kloppenburg, the assistant state attorney general who is his opponent — looks like the rookie here.”
The Journal Sentinel goes even further, writing that Prosser “apparently could use some anger-management classes. His outburst at Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson — threatening ‘to destroy’ her — will be unforgivable for some voters. He deserved the public flogging he received for it; other justices claimed it wasn’t his first tirade. He should have shown more leadership in turning the court away from its embarrassing squabbling.”
