Why Prosecutor Should Appeal John Doe Case
State Supreme Court had huge conflict, Schmitz should appeal to U.S. Supreme Court.
By Matthew Rothschild - Aug 5th, 2015 10:44 am
Special prosecutor Francis Schmitz has an obligation to appeal the decision by the Wisconsin State Supreme Court to dismiss the John Doe investigation. That decision legalized coordination between candidates and outside groups so long as those groups dont say Vote For or Vote Against a certain candidate.
Schmitz was investigating alleged coordination between Scott Walker and several outside groups during the recall elections in 2011 and 2012, but the Wisconsin Supreme Court ordered him to close that investigation.
Schmitz has two solid grounds for appealing that order to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The first is that the conservative justices who ruled against him, 4-2, were biased and should have recused themselves.
The second is that those justices misread the U.S. Supreme Court precedents on campaign finance law and the First Amendment............more details........

Thanks!
