Wisconsin’s Assembly speaker said that Republicans may impeach recently sworn-in Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz if she doesn’t recuse herself from certain lawsuits.

“If there’s any semblance of honor on the state Supreme Court left, you cannot have a person who runs for the court prejudging a case and being open about it, and then acting on the case as if you’re an impartial observer,” Assembly Speaker Robin Vos told WSAU. “You cannot have a judge who said, you know, the maps are rigged because she bought into the argument that that’s why we’re winning elections, not the quality of our candidates, and then she sits on that trial acting like she’s gonna listen and hear both sides fairly—that just can’t happen.”
