"Supreme Court Denies Lawsuit to Halt Janet Protasiewicz's Impeachment"

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has declined to hear a lawsuit seeking to block any attempt by the state Legislature to impeach Justice Janet Protasiewicz, a new member of the court. Republican lawmakers have raised concerns about Protasiewicz's impartiality in hearing redistricting lawsuits, as she previously criticized the GOP-drawn maps during her campaign. The lawsuit argued that proceeding with impeachment would violate the constitutional rights of voters who elected Protasiewicz, but the court's decision not to hear the case means the impeachment possibility remains.
