This IS a big deal in WI.
Prosser is a mirrow image of Gov Walker the teapartier! He is also the Justice who called another member (women) of the WI Supreme court a "bit**"

Ex-Gov. Lucey resigns as Prosser's honorary campaign co-chair, endorses Kloppenburg

Less than a week before Tuesday's election for Wisconsin Supreme Court justice, former Democratic Gov. Patrick Lucey on Thursday resigned as honorary co-chair of Justice David Prosser's re-election campaign and endorsed his opponent, state Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg.

Lucey said in a statement that he has followed Prosser's campaign "with increasing dismay and now alarm," adding that "Prosser has lost that most crucial of characteristics for a Supreme Court Justice — as for any judge — even-handed impartiality."

Lucey also cited Prosser's "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."

1. Great News!

I didn't understand why he supported Prosser in the first place.
