"Gableman’s calls from DA office under investigation

Justice says calls to fund-raisers were not political

Posted: Oct. 11, 2008

Already facing possible discipline from a Judicial Commission complaint, state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman also is now under investigation by the Office of Lawyer Regulation for long-distance calls to campaign fund-raisers and donors from his office when he was a district attorney.

Gableman has acknowledged making the calls as Ashland County district attorney in 2002, but has repeatedly said they were not political. One of the fund-raisers he called said she talked to Gableman around that time about scheduling a campaign event for then-Gov. Scott McCallum. " . . . . . and gableman was then appoointed by mccallum 2 months later. Not political my ass.

1. Raise your hand if you think anything more than a slap on the hand will come from this...

:shrug:

I didn't think so either.

The day some review board actually slaps some real punishment on a lawyer for breaking the law I'll take back every thing I've ever said about the law profession.

2. Disgraceful

It is disgraceful this man was elected. Shows what a lot of money will buy. And I agree, there will be little if no repercussions coming out of this. He and Annette Zigler make quite a pair.
