MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says impeaching Wisconsin’s newest Supreme Court Justice is not off the table if she rules on legislative maps.
Vos said Justice Janet Protasiewicz needs to recuse herself from lawsuits challenging those maps.
“I’m not a lawyer, but the most important thing in our legal system is the ability to have stare decisis where when a court makes a decision, every time a new person enters the court, you don’t upset everything just because you have new people on the court,” said Vos.
Vos has argued that Protasiewicz can’t fairly rule on the cases because she campaigned against them in her run for the Supreme Court.
Former State Supreme Court Justices David Prosser and Jon Wilcox have counseled Vos against impeachment.
