Bopp Found A Loophole, What's Next For Gableman?

Audio text excerpt from Gableman's misleading campaign ad against Justice Louis Butler is as follows:
Gableman Decision Excerpt:
...Louis Butler worked to put criminals on the street. Like Reuben Lee Mitchell, who raped an 11-year-old girl with learning disabilities. Butler found a loophole. Mitchell went on to molest another child.

JS Online Excerpt:
Deininger wrote in his concurring opinion. "Justice Gableman's counsel virtually conceded at oral argument that the advertisement is misleading . . . " He quoted Gableman's attorney, James Bopp Jr., at length, noting that during oral arguments Bopp said, "Would you feel safe having somebody on the Supreme Court that is willing to find a loophole for a scum bag like Reuben Lee Mitchell?"
Gableman Decision Excerpt: (Page 19)
Accordingly, we have concluded that we must recommend that the Commission’s complaint against Justice Gableman be dismissed. It is more than a bit ironic that Justice Gableman has been represented in this matter by an able lawyer who, it might be argued, “found a loophole.”
CAW Excerpt:
Two of the judges found a way to split hairs -- finding the language technically true, but misleading. And then finding a judge can't be disciplined for misleading the public. It is unbelievable. As Judge Deininger said, "Justice Gableman...'found a loophole.'"
JG Excerpt:
Gableman attorney Jim Bopp called the ruling a complete vindication.
...a complete vindication for defense attorneys.
