On Tuesday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court became a liberal-majority court for the first time in 15 years. On Wednesday, the four liberal justices voted to fire Director of State Courts Randy Koschnick. The termination was announced in a short letter (pdf) signed by Justice Ann Walsh Bradley, informing him his role would end that same day, without specifying a reason.
Chief Justice Annette Kingsland Ziegler followed the announcement with a long statement denouncing her colleagues’ “unprecedented dangerous conduct” as a “raw exercise of overreaching power.”
