Specifically, school choice, concealed carry, public safety (through expanded rights for criminals), Voter ID and other issues could all go by the wayside if David Prosser loses to JoAnne Kloppenburg.
Marquette Law School professor and conservative activist attorney Rick Esenberg was in part of the discussion, agreed with Sykes' analysis of what's at stake, and also suggested that Kloppenberg could be barred under a US Supreme Court bias standard (Capterton, related to a West Virginia coal case), off cases in which organized labor had an interest because of its financial support for the Kloppenburg campaign.
Why this same standard has not been applied to Justices Ziegler and Gableman in cases where the WMC and other business interests are connected is a good question.
Sykes has now opened the microphone to the fiscal crisis-monger Cong. Paul Ryan, so another Republican conservative gets his allotment of free air time on the state's leading AM station to press a partisan, extreme viewpoint.
I assume, Jeff Stone and Alberta Darling are no doubt cooling their heels somewhere, waiting their turn on WGOP.
Is Sykes wrong?
ReplyDeleteProsser let WMC write the ethics rule that allows him to hear cases involving WMC even though they spend millions of dollars to elect him. And Kloppenburg is the one with a problem? Yes, Sykes is wrong.
