So, if I choke someone at work, I can't be investigated by a Repug Sheriff?

Sheriff Turns Wis. 'Chokehold' Investigation Over To Subordinates


It appears to now be politically difficult to even find a proper venue for investigating the alleged physical altercation at the Wisconsin Supreme Court -- in which liberal Justice Ann Walsh Bradley has accused conservative Justice David Prosser of grabbing her neck in a chokehold, during an argument over the court's recent decision regarding the upholding of Gov. Scott Walker's anti-public employee union legislation.

Dane County (Madison) Sheriff Dave Mahoney, who was elected as a Democrat in a partisan election, has separated himself from the investigation, following complaints by some conservative activists -- and also following the investigation having been transferred to him on Monday by the Capitol Police, who had originally been investigating the matter.

Some conservatives had complained that in this past spring election for the state Supreme Court, Mahoney had endorsed Prosser's opponent JoAnn Kloppenburg. In addition, he has previously endorsed Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson -- whom Prosser has previously called a "total bitch," and when the incident was later reported said the comment was "entirely warranted"

Should I try that if I am ever pulled over on the road? 'Officer, are you a republican? Then you can't touch this.' /sarcasm off.

2. Remember -- laws don't apply to the GOP

:sarcasm:

Those fuckstains seriously think they don't have to play by the rules -- and nothing makes my blood boil more than a complicit spineless democrat who lets them get away with it.

3. Sure.

If he pulled out all the stops to make sure somebody else got your job, somebody he'd like to see in your position even today.

It's called "conflict of interest." Not everybody avoids them. But being upset because somebody has done the right thing and tried to avoid one doesn't strike me as wise, albeit it may be very partisan.
