At the end of June, the Wisconsin Supreme Court met to discuss its rules and procedures in open session for the last time.
From The Progressive, May 1959
You can catch the meeting on WisconsinEye, a statewide version of C-SPAN. e archived video footage shows right- wing Justice Michael Gableman pushing through a proposal to hold future administrative court proceedings behind closed doors. Gableman’s contemptuous treatment of the last two liberal justices on the court, Shirley Abraham- son and Ann Walsh Bradley— whom he sarcastically calls “Miss Sunshine”—is stomach-turning. So is his goal, which he accomplished: to make sure there are no more public meetings of this kind.
