And the Wisconsin Supreme Court Gets Weirder and Weirder………

This is technically assault

Now it appears that Republicans on the court wanted to proceed with an official photograph session before reporting anything to the capitol police:

In the wake of a physical altercation between two state Supreme Court justices, several of the judges discussed whether a planned photo session for the court should take priority over a meeting with the Capitol police chief.

The email exchange among all the justices came late in the afternoon on June 14, one day after the incident between Justices Ann Walsh Bradley and David Prosser. The emails were released to the Journal Sentinel first by Prosser and then by Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson after a request was made to each justice under the open records law.

The response to the request for Abrahamson's emails also suggests that she had considered putting out a public statement in response to the incident but did not release it.

Bradley told the Journal Sentinel that in the June 13 incident Prosser put his hands around her neck in what she called a "chokehold." Prosser has said other accounts quoting anonymous sources would be proved false, but he has not directly responded to Bradley's description of the incident.

So, one side says that Prosser put her in a choke hold, and the other says that she attacked his hands with her throat. (Which one sounds more credible to you, particularly since Prosser called the Chief Justice a "bitch" whom he would "destroy")

It gets weirder, because Prosser assaulted a reporter asking him about the matter, by grabbing a microphone out of his hands (yes, it is assault). (See vid)

Prosser is not presenting the image of a person who is in control of his behavior.
