"Impeachment Study Panel Member Supports Rival, Raising Questions"
Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser, who is part of a secret panel investigating the impeachment of newly elected Justice Janet Protasiewicz for accepting Democratic Party money, had accepted donations from the state Republican Party while on the court. Prosser, along with two other former justices, was chosen by Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos to investigate the criteria for impeachment. The impeachment threat comes after Protasiewicz's win gave liberals a majority on the court, raising Democratic hopes of overturning Republican-drawn electoral maps and enacting progressive policies. Critics argue that the secret panel and the impeachment process are a charade.
