Why would she recuse herself?!?!? This is EXACTLY why the majority of Wisconsinites voted for the progressive judge. I know I make this comment often here, but fuck Robin Vos.
Because Republicans are whiny bitches when they don't get their way. Wisconsin lawmakers no longer have a rubber stamp state government for whatever they want and they don't like it.
I'm sure they will try to pass laws to lessen what the state supreme court can do or some such nonsense.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A state judiciary disciplinary panel has rejected several complaints lodged against Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz that alleged she violated the judicial code of ethics for comments she made during the campaign.
In recent weeks, Republican lawmakers have been floating the possibility of impeaching Protasiewicz over her comments calling the legislative maps they drew “unfair” and “rigged.”
In the letter to Protasiewicz, Judicial Commission Executive Director Jeremiah Van Hecke referred to “several complaints” it had received and dismissed without action.
The complaints also alleged that she had made false comments about her opponent, Republican-backed Dan Kelly, in two campaign ads and in social media posts, according to the commission’s letter.
Republicans, including Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, allege Protasiewicz has prejudged redistricting cases pending before the Supreme Court because of comments she made during her campaign.
They also say she can’t fairly hear the cases because she took nearly $10 million in campaign donations from the Wisconsin Democratic Party, which did not file the lawsuits but has long pushed for new maps.
