Wisconsin Republicans Back Down From Threat To Impeach Liberal State Supreme Court Justice

Wisconsin Republicans threatened to impeach newly elected liberal State Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz over her campaign statements.
Democrats launched a campaign pressuring Republicans not to impeach, leading them to retreat from the threat.
Republicans argued Justice Protasiewicz's campaign statements about legislative maps being "rigged" justified impeachment.
There was little appetite among Wisconsin Senate Republicans for actually going through with impeachment.
The Republican focus will now be on Justice Protasiewicz's rulings and appealing any decisions against GOP-drawn maps to the U.S. Supreme Court.
