It will not be right until the DA is in jail and broke.

Unfortuneately — it will not deter the statists from doing this kind of thing again.

Actually, I think it would have been “Wisconsin’s Shame” if the court had sided with the prosecutors.

Chisolm is filth and should be thrown in a landfill.

Now, every person involved should be thrown in jail. That includes the jackboots who did the raid. And while they sit in prison, they can thank God that none of the people whose homes they raided shot back.

If you want evidence, as if any is needed, that the Dems would be very happy to keep political prosecutions and terror campaigns in place, just read the “Dissent” by the Dem hack on the court. Her only consideration was that she wanted her side to win and if some citizens have to be raided by the police and have all their personal possessions taken to keep the Dems in charge and her side on top, so be it. She’ll figure out a legal analysis to get there, just like any other Dem hack on any other court.

What time is the press conference being scheduled for Attorney General Loretta Lynch to announce the investigation into whether or not there were civil rights violations?

http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2015/07/16/key-excerpts-from-wisconsin-court-ruling-ending-scott-walker-probe/

Majority opinion:

• The justice says the special prosecutor, Francis Schmitz, rooted his probe in “vague, overbroad” sections of the state’s campaign finance law, giving him too much discretion:

The lack of clarity in Ch. 11, which the special prosecutor relies upon, leads us to the unsettling conclusion that it is left to government bureaucrats and/or individual prosecutors to determine how much coordination between campaign committees and independent groups is “too much” coordination. In essence, under his theory, every candidate, in every campaign in which an issue advocacy group participates, would get their own John Doe proceeding and their own special prosecutor to determine the extent of any coordination. This is not, and cannot, be the law in a democracy…

The special prosecutor has disregarded the vital principle that in our nation and our state political speech is a fundamental right and is afforded the highest level of protection. The special prosecutor’s theories…would assure that such political speech will be investigated with paramilitary-style home invasions conducted in the pre-dawn hours and then prosecuted and punished. In short, the special prosecutor completely ignores the command that, when seeking to regulate issue advocacy groups, such regulation must be done with “narrow specificity.”

• The justice defends the decision by a state judge presiding over the investigation to quash subpoenas in the case:

John Doe judges are given enormous discretion to control the scope and conduct of a John Doe proceeding. With this important point in mind, we now turn to the specific issue before us: whether Reserve Judge Peterson violated a plain legal duty when he quashed the subpoenas and search warrants and ordered the return of all seized property. He did not.

• The opinion concludes with another reprimand of the special prosecutor:

Our lengthy discussion of these three cases can be distilled into a few simple, but important, points. It is utterly clear that the special prosecutor has employed theories of law that do not exist in order to investigate citizens who were wholly innocent of any wrongdoing. In other words, the special prosecutor was the instigator of a “perfect storm” of wrongs that was visited upon the innocent Unnamed Movants and those who dared to associate with them.

Chislom will suffer massive civil judgements, but not one single criminal charge will be levied against him. He and his minions should have to do some hard time for their crimes against law-abiding citizens.

He should also be forced to resign to prevent him from having any opportunity to use any public resources (not even the benefit of a taxpayer funded cell phone) whatsoever to defend himself against the civil suits
