When he made the comments, Fieger was angry at the judges for overturning a million-dollar medial malpractice ruling that he had won.
"In August 1999, shortly after the decision to overturn the judgment, Fieger called them 'three jackass Court of Appeals judges' on his radio talk show," an Associated Press article stated. "He also likened them to Adolph Hitler and other Nazis and in a separate tirade, declared 'war' on the judges and made crude remarks about them."
In 2001, Fieger was slapped with a professional misconduct charge by the Attorney Grievance Commission. Three years later, the Michigan Attorney Discipline Board stated that Fieger was indeed within his First Amendment rights when he made the on-air comments, but in July of the same year, the Supreme Court reversed the ruling.
