Last year, in anger, Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser put his hands around a fellow justice’s neck in what she described as a “chokehold.” Prosser has asked nearly every justice to recuse him or herself from the resulting ethics case against him because of personal conflicts; if enough justices do, he will avoid being sanctioned at all because the court will then not have a quorum and will be unable to meet on the case. If you had wrapped your hands around a co-worker’s neck in anger, what penalties do you think you would face?

 I would be fired, and possibly arrested

 I would be formally reprimanded and put on notice

 I would probably face no repercussions
