When judge Randy Koschnick isn’t busy making rulings on traffic citations that get overturned on appeal, he apparently likes to spend his free time in his chambers making phone calls. Now I’m sure you’re probably wondering why Randy Koschnick’s in-chambers activities are something worth discussing, but thanks to some heads-up citizen reporting by fellow blogger Emily Mills, it’s come to light that judge Koschnick is fond of spending his time in chambers making phone calls to groups like the Wisconsin Family Council, the same organization that led the charge to enshrine discrimination against gay Wisconsinites into our state constitution. Interestingly enough, judge Koschnick also exchanged phone calls and emails with Patti Chmielewski, the Jefferson County contact for Wisconsin Right to Life, an organization that coincidentally enough just endorsed Koschnick’s candidacy for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Now I’m no expert on the rules that govern the kinds of activities judges – who are presumed to be nonpartisan – are prohibited from engaging in on state time, but I know if I spent any time engaging in politically-related activities at my job, I’d get canned in a heartbeat. Then again, considering Randy Koschnick was “warmly received upon making a visit to the Dunn County Republican Party Caucus” this past Saturday, one can only wonder how non-partisan he really is.
H/T to Emily at the Lost Albatross.
you really need to double check your facts.
how can anyone read and trust what you write?
please, take a journalism class at the very least.
oh, and by the way, try to be a real journalist.
Louis- Care to let him know what is wrong so he can correct it?
Louis, what facts did I get wrong?
As for your comment about me trying to be a journalist, I’d just say that’s not the point of this blog. If I had wanted to be a journalist, I would have gone to school for journalism.
