Madison - State Supreme Court candidate Ed Fallone said Thursday that if elected he would seek to reverse a court rule that says justices do not have to step aside in cases involving parties who gave them political donations.
The court passed the rule on a 4-3 vote in 2009, with Justice Patience Roggensack in the majority. Fallone is running against Roggensack in the April 2 election, so it appears that if he were elected he would have the votes to overturn the rule.
He said changing the rule would improve the reputation of the court because citizens would be less likely to think justices are beholden to special interests. "Even if a justice is pure as the driven snow and not influenced by (donations), the public perceives it as a problem," said Fallone, a Marquette University law professor.
Roggensack campaign adviser Brandon Scholz issued a statement dismissing Fallone's proposal as nothing but a political attack.
Screw you Patience. You're as corrupt as they come, and with the Walker bunch, that's mighty corrupt.
