Prosser: 'Nuclear Blast' and 'Still Standing'

When Justice David Prosser addressed his supporters shortly after 1:30 AM this morning, he didn't mince words in commenting on the methods utilized by JoAnne Kloppenburg and her proponents during the campaign.

"We're optimistic. We expect later today to bring good results," Prosser told a handful of supporters who had stayed until the wee morning hours at the Seven Seas restaurant in Delafield.

"This is truly an historic election," Prosser said. "There is little doubt there's going to be a recount in this race, no matter who comes out on top -- tomorrow or today or whenever. But I'm very pleased we have sustained the most difficult assault on a person's character in the whole history of the Wisconsin judicial system. We're still in this race, I've weathered the nuclear blast and I'm still standing.

"There is no question about my gratitude to the people of Wisconsin" Prosser said, to applause and shouts of "Ten more years."

In this judicial race, Kloppenburg's team used the Ted Kennedy method - "Borking."



Robert Bork didn't survive Kennedy's character assassination. Kennedy shamelessly lied about Bork, but he and the Democrats won the political battle.

For Leftists, the ends justify the means. They aren't confined by the limits of decency. They go nuclear.

Kloppenburg and her allies shouldn't be proud of their tactics.

Prosser is correct. He weathered a vicious, sustained assault on his character.

Hopefully, in the end, Prosser will win "ten more years" on the Supreme Court and Kloppenburg won't be rewarded for her viciousness.

We know the Leftists don't go quietly. Powerful special interests, unions, stop at nothing. We know conscience isn't an issue for them.

Will this Supreme Court race go on and on until the Leftists arrive at the result they want, Al Franken-style?

Will the Supreme Court race end up being decided by the Supreme Court?

That would be a mess. They'd all have to recuse themselves.
