KEEPING TRACK OF SENATOR JOHNSON'S LIES
After listening to Ron and Mark on AM 1500, I thought I would dissect Johnson's comments and keep track of his lies.
"members of the Supreme Court, I know all of them. I have had a number of visits with them about our law. All of them, every one of them, including the lady who just stepped down, Kathleen Blatz, was my seatmate for four years. She was the chief justice. You know what her response was? 'Dean, we all stand for election too, every six years.' She said 'We're not going to touch it.' That's what she said to me.' He also said that he had talked with two of the three justices named Anderson and that they had told him, 'Dean, we're not going to do it.'" Source: Star Tribune, March 16, 2006

3. "Dean, we're not going to do it" Source: Star Tribune, March 16, 2006
4. "I have, at no time, ever received any promises or commitments regarding any potential judicial cases from any member of the state Supreme Court." Source: Pioneer Press
The four comments above conflict with this statement from the West Central Tribune.
"He [Dean Johnson] also said he had only one conversation with a Supreme Court justice about the gay marriage issue when they bumped into each other at the Capitol, and that the conversation was brief and casual." Source: West Central Tribune, March 16, 2006
