"Impeachment Threat Looms as Wisconsin Supreme Court Tackles Maps Case"
The liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case challenging the state's Republican-drawn legislative districts, despite objections from conservative justices and leading Republicans. Justice Janet Protasiewicz, a newly elected liberal justice, refused to recuse herself from the case, prompting threats of impeachment. Republicans argue that her previous statements and support for abortion rights violate judicial ethics codes. The decision to accept the case puts pressure on Republicans to decide whether to proceed with impeachment proceedings. The outcome of the case could have significant implications for the state's legislative maps and political control.
