Appleton, WI Newspaper Endorses Kloppenburg

by Giles Goat Boy

...Prosser is an intemperate figure given to partisan rhetoric. This is troubling in a justice.

...We are deeply troubled by the incident, made public during this campaign, in which Prosser blew up at Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson, calling her a "bitch" and threatening to "destroy her."

What that indicates is an injudicious personality, plain and simple. It's unacceptable behavior in any circumstance -- and surely it's worst of all in a Supreme Court Justice, whose entire job is to make rational decisions without prejudice.

...It's a very revealing episode, and frankly there is no defending it.
