US EditionWisconsin impeachment review panel includes former GOP speaker, conservative justice
- A panel of former Wisconsin Supreme Court justices, including Republican David Prosser, has been selected to investigate the impeachment of Justice Janet Protasiewicz, who accepted Democratic Party money. Prosser himself had accepted donations from the state Republican Party while on the court.
- The impeachment threat against Protasiewicz arises from her win, which gave liberals a majority on the court and raised hopes of overturning Republican laws and gerrymandered electoral maps in favor of Democrats. Prosser has a history of not recusing himself from cases involving issues he had voted on as a lawmaker.
- Speaker Robin Vos, who initiated the impeachment discussion, believes Protasiewicz should step down if she doesn't recuse herself from hearing Democratic-backed redistricting lawsuits. Democrats criticize the process as a joke, regardless of who is on the panel.

Wisconsin’s April 2023 state Supreme Court election was historic. It was the nation’s most expensive judicial race ever, with over US$50 million in total spending, and it broke turnout records for an off-cycle spring election. Janet Protasiewicz, a Milwaukee circuit court judge and self-described progressive, won an 11-percentage point victory, shifting the court’s ideological balance of power at a moment when major legal clashes over abortion a…
