Annette Ziegler, the conservative chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, accused the court's liberal majority of staging a 'coup' when they voted to weaken her powers.
The conservative chief justice of theon Monday told the new liberal majority in a scathing email that they had staged a"coup" and conducted an"illegal experiment" when they voted to weaken her powers and fire the director of state courts.
Liberals gained a 4-3 majority on Aug. 1 when Justice Janet Protasiewicz began her 10-year term after winning election in April. Conservatives had held the majority for 15 years prior to that. The emails are the latest sign of broiling tensions on the court since liberals took control. Justice Rebecca Dallet, one of the four liberals, responded to Ziegler late Monday by saying she was"disappointed" that Ziegler was communicating through the media with a"deeply inappropriate, and at times partisan, tone and tenor."
"We are simply creating process so that a majority of the court can effectively work in the face of an intransigent and uncollegial chief who apparently insists on a public debate about issues for political purposes, rather than allow a court majority to function as it always has," Dallet said. "I had the legal authority and responsibility as well as the moral obligation to sign the orders for reserve judges," she told Ziegler.
