Headline:
And this guy was a former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice:
While leading a taxpayer-funded review of Wisconsin's 2020 election, former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman violated several state rules governing attorney conduct including making false statements, disrupting court proceedings and making "derogatory and demeaning statements" toward a judge and opposing counsel, the state office that regulates attorneys in Wisconsin said Tuesday.
In a damning 75-page report, the Wisconsin Office of Lawyer Regulation asked that the state Supreme Court find Gableman violated court rules and impose sanctions on the former justice. The complaint details 10 alleged violations Gableman committed over the span of his controversial review.
Gableman was hired in 2021 by Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, under pressure from former President Donald Trump to substantiate his baseless claims that the 2020 presidential election had been "stolen." Trump was defeated by Joe Biden in Wisconsin by almost 21,000 votes that year, an outcome that has been substantiated through a recount, court decisions and multiple independent reviews.
