Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos on Thursday said impeachment proceedings against liberal state Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz are 'absolutely not' out of the question.
The Republican leader of Wisconsin’s Assembly refused to back down on Thursday from possibly impeaching a newly elected liberal state Supreme Court justice over her refusal to step aside in a redistricting case, even after two former conservative justices advised him against the unprecedented move. 'No, absolutely not,' Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said when asked at a news conference if impeachment of Justice Janet Protasiewicz was off the table.
Other justices, both conservative and liberal, have spoken out in the past on issues that could come before the court, although not always during their run for office like Protasiewicz did. Current justices have also accepted campaign cash from political parties and others with an interest in court cases and haven’t recused themselves. But none of them has faced threats of impeachment.
Both lawsuits ask that all 132 state lawmakers be up for election in 2024 in newly drawn districts.
