The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

I don’t know whether it’s the beer, cheese, or the close proximity of the UW campus and the 40-year bong residue from both the campus and the East Side of Madison bracketing the Capitol.

The bad news is that the position of Chief Justice is assigned by seniority, and the next two most-seniur Justices are Bradley and Patrick Crooks, the other two liberals on the Court.

I’m convinced that someone has put something in either the beer or the cheese.

The report given in the National Review seems to be the most detailed accounting of what happened given to date. That said, one has to wonder what, if anything, will happen to Justice Bradley should it prove to be true that she accosted Justice Prosser and all he did was try to push her off of him? It seems that there were numerous witnesses in the room, including the person that had to physically pull her off of Justice Prosser. If the report is true, it is also telling that none of the Justices felt it necessary for Justice Prosser to get “anger management” counseling. As the report says, if he did nothing wrong, why would he need it? Perhaps it is Justice Bradley that is in need of such counseling. And, if all of this is true, it is Justice Bradley that should be tendering her resignation.

As to Chief Justice Abrahamson, given her complete lack of control over the Court and, it appears, her contribution to the acrimony, perhaps the first resignation demanded should be hers. She doesn’t necessarily have to resign from the Court, but should step down from her position as Chief Justice.

Given the way the left has jumped all over this, wouldn’t it be delicious irony if Bradley and Abrahamson had to resign and Scott Walker was given the ability to replace two of the three liberal Justices on the Court? The sight of that many heads in Madison exploding all at once would be awesome to see!
