  1. @GaryRLundberg I don't have a subscription. Unlike #Protasiewicz, who I also supported, I didn't hear #Crawford make political statements during the campaign. She seems like an honest, responsible judge. I was proud to vote for her and proud #Wisconsin votes couldn't being bought.

  6. Republicans who control the Wisconsin state Senate 💥fired eight more of Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ appointees 💥Tuesday, including two Universities of Wisconsin #regents who voted against a deal that limited campus #diversity and four judicial #watchdogs who wouldn’t commit to punishing liberal state Supreme Court Justice Janet #Protasiewicz.
    The Senate also fired a member of the governor’s #domestic #abuse #council after Republicans accused the body of violating open records laws and taking what the GOP considered a stance against #white people, as well as a member of the deferred compensation board, which administers a state retirement program.
    The Senate has now fired 21 Evers appointees since the governor took office in 2019.
    The governor said in a statement Tuesday that he was “apoplectic” that Republican senators keep firing his appointees for no good reason.

  11. It’s this whole thing that’s scary going on in this country, that if you can’t defeat people’s votes then you do it in some other way.
    #Protasiewicz won #Wisconsin’s supreme court election in April, giving liberals a 4-3 majority on the court, their first in 15 years. But Republicans began to float #impeaching Protasiewicz before the results were even known.
    The party has already locked down control of the legislature, using aggressive #gerrymanders to protect itself from election defeats.
    It has also deflated the powers of the Democratic governor, Tony Evers, undercutting his #authority to appoint people to executive branch positions.

  16. "Quite simply, Protasiewicz’s victory represents an existential threat to the Wisconsin Republican Party because there are now two lawsuits challenging their gerrymandered maps. Though the state Supreme Court has not even yet said it will take either of the cases, Republicans are terrified their stranglehold on the state will be loosened."

  20. “Our country has never seen anything quite like what is unfolding in Wisconsin. …

    The Republican initiative is about more than trying to take out one political opponent in one state. Rather, it is part of a cross-national MAGA assault on truth, government institutions, the law and the vote itself."

    ~ Dennis Aftergut and Austin Sarat

  34. The Tennessee Expulsion Is a Glimpse of the Future

    Clearly, expelling two members of the Tennessee legislature was an explosive move and temporarily leaves their constituents no representation, at least until a special election is held.

    In fact, the state party is already raising money for the members to win back their seats.

    Meanwhile, there’s another story playing out 600 miles to the north that highlights another, potentially even more consequential use of hard-ball legislative power.

    While liberals were celebrating the election Tuesday of a #Wisconsin #Supreme #Court #justice who will tip the court to the left, voters in the state’s 8th senatorial district were sending #Republican #Dan #Knodl to Madison.

    That gives the GOP a Senate #supermajority and with it, the power to remove key officials through #impeachment — including judges.

    In late March, Knodl said he would “#certainly #consider” impeaching #Janet #Protasiewicz, the new state Supreme Court justice, though he was talking about her role as a county judge.

    Would Wisconsin Republicans impeach a justice simply because they don’t like the court’s rulings? Well, there is nothing hypothetical about how the state’s GOP legislature has used its power against other branches of government
