Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser, and his bitch-chokin' hand.
I don’t really care who David Prosser is as a person, any more than I have any concern over who any public figure is in real life. Being that Prosser is a politician affiliated with one of the big two political parties in America, his identity is even less relevant. I know that America pushes its ideals of individualism to ridiculous heights (see: giving corporations the rights of people), but its citizens are fantastically deluded in thinking that candidates matter. If there’s a D and an R on the ballot, you’re voting for a party and not a person.
Justice Prosser, recently reelected (in theory) to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, is an R, and he’s jumped right into line with the rest of the Rs who have lost their minds and are dead set on imposing Dark Ages corporate Sharia law upon all us unworthy plebeians. The Republican Party hates the Taliban for its freedom.
I’m no fan of violence in the workplace, but if Justice Prosser wasn’t one of those hard Rs the recent allegations of him choking his fellow justice would have flown past all of our radars and remained a quiet matter for the authorities to deal with. As it stands, Prosser is a key part of the Republican Party’s attempt to create a one-party system in Wisconsin, which is a key part of the Republican Party’s attempt to create a one-party system in the United States, and so on.
So I’m going to say something that goes against the spirit of American justice: whether Prosser choked his colleague or not, I hope the allegations ruin his career. I hope David Prosser becomes the O.J. Simpson of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Because as a judge, he’s not a person, but an R, and right now the Rs are the arrogant, entitled, aristocratic, authoritarian enemies of freedom, and their rampage must be stopped.
In one thing, all the right wing hate speech is absolutely correct: at the moment, we’re living in a culture war, and there are only two, individual-less, sides to the conflict. There are the Republicans, fueled by aristocrats, zealots, and lackeys – and there is everyone else.
Everyone else, this is a fight, so fight to win.
You know who’s doing it right? Minnesota. Instead of doing the time-honored Democrat Kowtow, Governor Mark Dayton stuck to his guns, refused to budge on taxing the rich, and let the Republicans shoot their hostage. And good for him. Let the Republicans expose themselves as bastards so fixated on giving the rich a free ride that they’re willing to destroy the entire Minnesota government to get their way. Shit, the national government almost went into the same hole because the Republican Party hates women (see: Planned Parenthood). Why not defuse the Republican bomb by calling its bluff and blowing it up? What leverage does shrapnel have?
(Update: Never mind.)
Still, I hate placing my faith in any person in any position of power. So you know who else is doing it right? Every person who is still sufficiently pissed off in Wisconsin to keep fighting Scott Walker’s hostile takeover of the state. It’s goddamn disheartening to see that the Governor is so callous and programmed that the shouting of hundreds of thousands of angry protesters has rolled off his back like oil off a BP duck. It’s infuriating to see the Wisconsin R continue its unlubed gangbang of the state’s civil liberties and its citizens’ way of life (see: proposed redistricting, concealed carry). But getting infuriated has led to the people of Wisconsin standing up, getting awesome, and becoming the pinnacle of today’s American Dream.
By the way: hey, James Smith, you fucking scumbag, how’d sabotaging La Crosse’s recall election work out for you?
But here’s the problem: all of us in the way of right wing treads are facing some seriously crooked opposition who will destroy anyone in their way (see: Andrew Breitbart vs. Anthony Weiner). Against such ruthless assholes, we kind of have to take our victories where we can get them.
So when the swing vote in the Wisconsin Supreme Court goes to a dubiously-elected R who immediately smacks down a good chunk of the protesters’ progress, a well-timed story about said Justice Prosser, as the slang goes, choking a bitch provides great ammo that we’d be fools not to use.
Am I wrong for hoping that he actually did it?
My fellow Anti-Republicans, whatever you do, don’t quit. Don’t stop fighting. Fight clean if you can, but don’t be afraid to fight dirty if you must.
