Justice Michael Gableman Tells “Bizzare” Story, Needs To Stick To His Coloring Book

September 1, 2011

I have commented on CP that Justice Michael Gableman must surely write his opinions in crayon.  Gableman is by far the least intelligent and probing mind on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. 

Simply put I find Micheal Gableman a dolt.

Gableman’s tactics were slimy while seeking election to the court, and his theatrics have not changed since serving.

Now Justice Gableman  has made a serious claim against another justice that is being countered with one word.

Bizarre.

The claim by Gableman is that Justice Ann Walsh Bradley rapped him on the head during a 2008 meeting at which they were reportedly present.

The problem with Gableman’s story is that no conference took place on the day he describes, and no one agrees with his colorful memory.  (Like a box of  crayons.)

It appears to me that Gableman is looking to ingratiate himself further with the right-wing that has deep-seated animosities with some members of the court.  Gableman has not had much ‘air-time ‘ since  Justice Prosser received so much coverage over the famed  neck squeeze on Justice Bradley.  Therefore Gableman is ginning a hapless story to get some free press. 

I suspect most state residents are tired of the rancor and division that is taking place in the court, and making headlines every other week.  As such I have a partial solution to this latest episode.

Micheal Gableman should just get back to his coloring book.

Asked to respond to the allegation, Bradley said in an email to the Wisconsin State Journal that “Justice Gableman recounts an event that never happened on a date that, according to my records, it could not have occurred.”

And Abrahamson said that, according to her records, “no meeting, conference or oral argument of the court occurred on September 18, 2008, or on any day that week.” Her calendar showed she had appointments outside the Capitol that day, including in Milwaukee, she said.

She said she asked Bradley and Crooks to check their records, which also show no meetings that week. And, she said, Justice Patience Roggensack earlier requested that the court not schedule anything between Sept. 15 and Sept. 29 that year.

“Such a request is ordinarily granted, as appears to have been the case here,” Abrahamson told the State Journal. “To the best of my recollection (and Justice Crooks’s recollection is the same) no incident as described (and no similar incident) ever occurred in our presence.”

Messages left with Gableman, Prosser and Justice Annette Ziegler were not returned. Roggensack declined to comment.

Former Supreme Court Justice Janine Geske called the contradiction between Gableman’s account and the denials by the three justices “disturbing” and the account itself “bizarre.”
