"Justice" Bradley has her priorities straight...

As in leaving her JOB to make more money...

Justice Bradley leaves oral arguments early to speak to Chamber of Commerce

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley left oral arguments in a pending case before they had concluded so she could give a speech to the state chamber of commerce, a group that’s spent heavily in past court elections in favor of conservative candidates.

I wonder how the elected non-WMC owned Justices felt as they watched Rebecca Bradley get up and walk out, completely disrespecting the Court and everyone involved in the case being argued. She's just awful.

From the wbay.com article: Her spokeswoman Madison Wiberg says justices routinely excuse themselves for personal or scheduling reasons.

From Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article: Justice Ann Walsh Bradley indicated it's not common for other justices to step away from arguments — and invoked the name of the late Justice N. Patrick Crooks to make her point. Crooks died in September, and the governor appointed Rebecca Bradley to fill his spot.

"The only time that Justice Patrick Crooks in his almost 20 years on the bench left the bench early that I can recall is the day he left the bench early and died later that day in his chambers," Ann Walsh Bradley said.
