Justice Prosser Reverses Himself, Will Recuse From Tea Party Case | Last week, ThinkProgress reported on Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser’s decision not to recuse himself from a campaign finance case brought by various Tea Party groups, despite the fact that his own attorney from his recent reelection campaign is arguing the case. Prosser’s decision to remain on the case rebuffed numerous judicial ethics experts who said that these circumstances require him to recuse. To his credit, Prosser has now reversed himself, and will recuse.
