MADISON, Wis. -- Former Democratic Gov. Patrick Lucey is withdrawing his support for incumbent Justice David Prosser for Wisconsin Supreme Court and is throwing it to Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg.

Lucey released a statement to the media Thursday evening saying the campaign has revealed what he called "a disturbing distemper and lack of civility" in Prosser, though he did not cite specifics.
"I have followed with increasing dismay and now alarm the campaign of Justice David Prosser, whom I endorsed at the outset of his campaign and in whose campaign I serve as the honorary co-chairman," Lucey said in the statement. "I can no longer in good conscience lend my name and support to Justice Prosser's candidacy. Too much has come to light that Justice Prosser has lost that most crucial of characteristics for a Supreme Court Justice -- as for any judge -- even-handed impartiality. Along with that failing has come a disturbing distemper and lack of civility that does not bode well for the High Court in the face of demands that are sure to be placed on it in these times of great political and legal volatility."

At the same time, Lucey said he has continued to be impressed by Kloppenburg, saying she has shown the proper judicial temperament.

1. I wonder why he even endorsed him as well as be campaign co-chair?

Considering the jerk served in the Assembly and his politics had to have been obvious. As well as being appointed originally by the scumbag Tommy Thompson.

What is with all these Republicans that are born in Chicago or other places outside Wisconsin?

Prosser - Chicago
Fitzgerald scumbags - Chicago
Walker - Colorado Springs

2. I guess up until now, getting Kochs to back you in Wisconsin has been pretty easy for Rethugs

so they all loaded up their trucks and moved to Wisconsin to have easier access to Koch and their money to buy them their positions and screw the people and the Unions. That's just a guess, I'm sure I'm way off base.
Closer to their bankers and advisors, the Koch Klan Korp.
