Last year, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker ally, Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David(Women are bitches) Prosser cast the key vote in favor of a “justice-for-sale” ethics rule written by two corporate lobbying groups. Thanks to right wing partisan Justice Prosser, his colleagues are not required to recuse themselves from cases involving one or more of their major campaign donors. Now, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC), one of the lobbying groups that wrote the rule Prosser rubber stamped into law, is rewarding him by raising “unlimited and undisclosed” funds to keep "the rubber stamping Republicon", (Justice Prosser) on the Wisconsin State Supreme Court to continue doing the bidding of his Republicon, Koch, corporate, lobbyist friends:
Dear Wisconsin Citizens,
The ruling Republicons have been openly attempting to break Unions since their election in November, using their activist majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and grinding our democracy to a halt because Governor Scott Walker has refused to listen to the voices of Wisconsin citizens who want his extreme, destructive, illegal dictatorial rule to cease and desist. JoAnne Kloppenburg will need a strong TV ad campaign to educate the public about Justice Prosser’s radical right wing union busting support, which is in stark contrast to the common sense and law abiding approach of candidate JoAnne Kloppenburg. And, we will need to educate the public about Justice Prossers radical, one sided agenda, and how the Walker/Fitzgerald Union busters need to keep Prosser on the court to continue to advance and protect the radical decisions being made by Walker and his Republicon ruling class.
Please vote for JoAnne Kloppenburg on April 5th, 2011, as workers rights and many other rights are at stake as long as Wisconsin Republicon Supreme Court Justice Prosser continues his radical, right wing, one sided rulings against the majority of the Wisconsin Citizenry.
WMC (Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce), whose board of directors includes a high ranking executive with a Koch Industries company, has a record of spending exorbitant sums of money to ensure that the state supreme court is friendly to powerful corporate Republicon interest groups. In 2008, WMC spent $1.2 million to replace former Justice Louis Butler with an obscure conservative judge after Butler sided against wealthy interest groups in three court decisions. Butler is now an Obama nominee for a federal trial judgeship.
Moreover, WMC’s efforts to buy up seat after seat on the state supreme court for Republicons, would have been illegal just a few years ago. Wisconsin banned corporations from buying state elections in 1905, but that law effectively ceased to exist when the right leaning Supreme Court opened the floodgates of corporate campaign funds in its infamous Citizens United decision. A vote for JoAnne Kloppenburg is a vote for Justice and the rule of law, a vote however, for Wisconsin Republicon Justice Prosser, is a vote for continued, destructive, one sided, rubber stamping of Walker/Fitzgeralds extreme, radical, Republicon agenda for total rule of a once free and trusting Wisconsin people. Do Wisconsin voters want the rule of law applied by an unbiased judge, or do they want the rule of Republicon/Walker/Fitzgerald/Koch Klan/ seat stealer Justice Prosser and the bought and paid for Wisconsin Supreme Court?
