A series of complaints lodged against Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz by Republican activists unable to accept another conservative election loss has been rejected by a state judicial panel, bringing to a close the latest attempt by anti-democratic conservatives to unseat a duly-elected official.
According to the Associated Press, Protasiewicz released a letter from the Wisconsin Judicial Commission saying it found no grounds to pursue complaints that she made unethical comments during the campaign. Protasiewicz flipped a seat on the court, giving Democrats a majority, something Republicans cannot abide. Republicans, therefore, intended to use an adverse ruling by the commission to justify Protasiewicz’s impeachment. With the commission’s ruling, the state GOP will have to fabricate other grounds.
