Why is this man so angry?
This is really something to behold (YouTube, 6:49).
That's the same guy who collected $70K in $10K increments from out-of-State donors during the final days of his 2008 campaign, and during which he violated the Wisconsin code of judicial ethics by lying about his opponent, a sitting justice of the court. The ironies throughout this intemperate Republican rubber chicken spiel are just short of unbearable. Didn't anybody think to recall Gableman?*
The self-righteous affirmations of adherence to the text ring a bit hollow once you've literally rewritten the Wisconsin constitution and finally, he appears rather concerned about voter registration drives in predominantly** African-American Milwaukee neighborhoods.
So a little race hustling for the icing on the cake.
It's quite the remarkable performance: "Judicious."***
One thing's for sure, if Kloppenburg expected to settle this fellow down by her presence on the court, she must have been dreaming.
h/t Jim Rowen.
* As a member of the court, Michael Gableman presides over WisBar attorneys' compliance with ethical standards and practices. Seriously.
Where does Gableman's moral authority come from? You tell me.
** Exclusively, is probably more accurate.
*** That's one word that doesn't immediately spring to mind.
