Former Wisconsin justice advises against impeaching liberal court member over redistricting case
- Wisconsin Republicans considered impeaching liberal State Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz if she didn't recuse from a redistricting case.
- Protasiewicz rejected recusal requests citing campaign donations and prior comments, aligning with past conservative justices' decisions.
- Former conservative State Supreme Court Justice David Prosser advised Republican lawmakers that impeachment is unwarranted based on current information.
- Prosser stated impeachment should only be considered for criminal acts or indisputable corrupt conduct in office.
- The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in the redistricting case on November 21, focusing on legal questions around district contiguity and separation of powers.
