One Wisconsin Now, a political action group in the Badger state, announced yesterday that their petition calling on Wisconsin Supreme Court justice, and possible felon, David Prosser to resign has gathered 10,000 signatures since going live last Monday.
The people of Wisconsin have decided it's time for Prosser to go.
More than 10,000 concerned citizens have signed One Wisconsin Now's petition launched Monday calling for the resignation of Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser. One Wisconsin Now started the petition after Justice Ann Walsh Bradley said Prosser put her in a "chokehold" during an argument over Prosser's effort to muscle through a court decision in favor of GOP Sen. Scott Fitzgerald, who endorsed Prosser's 2011 re-election campaign.
Video of Prosser's intemperance on the flip...
One Wisconsin Now includes this video montage on their petition page, including footage of Prosser charging a Democratic colleague while serving in the state legislature and of him yelling from the bench dressed in his judicial robes:
Here is the text of the petition:
Supreme Court Justice David Prosser Must Resign
Dear Justice Prosser
The Wisconsin's Supreme Court should be a place of civility, honor and integrity. Your actions toward your fellow Justices have come under fire before, but now you have gone too far.
Your aggression toward another Justice on the Supreme Court is inexcusable and horrible.
I am calling on you to resign immediately in the wake of these current reports and to apologize for the shame you have brought to the state's highest court.
