AP News · 2nd former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice advises Republican leader against impeachmentBy Scott Bauer

“The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s newest justice has rejected calls from Republican legislative leaders to recuse herself from two lawsuits before the court involving the state’s legislative maps, which she has described as ‘rigged’ — a decision that could push the Assembly speaker to start impeachment proceedings,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

“This is vintage Vos—peevish, petulant, reflexively retributive. It is governance by temper tantrum, which is to say, it handily symbolizes the state GOP’s response to any challenge to its antidemocratic consolidation of power.” Robin Vos, speaker of Wisconsin Assembly, is “kind of a jerk”. plus.thebulwark.com/p/wisconsi #RobinVos #wisgop #gerrymandering #Wisconsin #wisconsinsupremecourt #janetprotasiewicz #MeaganWolfe

#Wisconsin #SupremeCourt Justice #RebeccaBradley wants #JanetProtasiewicz to abstain from cases that affect a campaign donor. In 2017, Bradley slammed such a restriction as unconstitutional.

Bradley wrote in 2017 that requiring justices to recuse themselves from cases involving campaign donors would be "shocking in its disregard for the Wisconsin Constitution and the #UnitedStates #Constitution."
