Janet Protasiewicz impeachment threat -- how did Wisconsin get here?

[RandySF]

Wisconsin Republicans didn't exactly invent the idea of asking a Supreme Court Justice to recuse herself on cases they consider to pose a conflict of interest.

Recusal controversies have been bubbling up with the Wisconsin Supreme Court for years.

What's new this time is that the state GOP is threatening to impeach liberal Justice Janet Protasiewicz if she doesn't stay away from cases involving Wisconsin's legislative district maps.

Why do Republicans and conservative justices want Protasiewicz to recuse, or abstain from ruling on certain cases? Can lawmakers really impeach her if she doesn't, stopping her from doing her job even though voters elected her? Would Protasiqwicz have any recourse?

1. The ReThug Nazis in Wisconsin got a taste of power,..

... when Scott Walker was installed as governor. The Fascist Nazi ReThug Party refuses to relinquish any power they lost in election cycles because they feel they should now rule for the duration and absolute perpetuity.

Nazi/Fascists seek to capture the means of governance, retain that power and authority forever to exclusively serve their political agendas only, to the vehement exclusion of the viewpoints of all others.

Fuck American Democracy,.. a Fascist/Theocracy takeover sensitive to the needs of a Hyper-Capitalist Oligarchy is the new prevailing fashion for the USA.

At your peril - if you seek to block or impede their way as we rush to the warm embrace of Fascism popping up around us in a multitude of ways.
