Walker: Prosser Choking Scandal Is ‘Extremely Serious’ | In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s editorial board, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) called the recent scandal in which state Supreme Court Justice David Prosser allegedly grabbed another justice around the neck an “extremely serious” matter. Walker noted that the state is investigating it and said it would be inappropriate for him to “prejudge” Prosser. “But what I hear, if it’s true, obviously is extremely serious,” Walker said. “Even if it’s not the truth, but is somewhere in between the two, it is still a serious matter of grave concern, not just to me, but it should be for anybody in the state.” Watch the video here:
