Wisconsin’s Republican-controlled Legislature is talking about impeaching a newly elected liberal state Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz, even before she has heard a case.
The state Democratic Party is not part of either redistricting lawsuit, but supports the efforts.
If she does step aside, the court would be divided 3-3 between liberal and conservative justices. However, conservative Justice Brian Hagedorn has sided with liberals on major cases in the past, angering Republicans. There are also state rules laying out when a judge must step aside from a case. Those generally include any time their impartiality on a case can be called into question, such as having a personal bias toward one of those suing, having a financial interest or making statements as a candidate that “commits, or appears to commit” the judge to ruling one way or another.
If the Assembly impeached her, Protasiewicz would be barred from any duties as a justice until the Senate acted. That could effectively stop her from voting on redistricting without removing her from office and creating a vacancy that Democratic Gov. Tony Evers would fill. and has not committed to moving ahead.
