There’s now a formal complaint over how one of the liberal candidates for the Wisconsin Supreme Court is campaigning.
A western Wisconsin man filed the complaint yesterday, he says Judge Janet Protasiewicz has violated the state’s Code of Judicial Conduct by talking openly about how she’d rule on cases that will likely come before the Supreme Court. Specifically, the complaint says Protasiewicz has called Wisconsin’s political maps ‘rigged,’ and has said she supports abortion and same sex marriage laws. Candidates for the court are not supposed to tip their hand about how they may rule. Wisconsin’s Republican Party says the court should, at the very least, order Protasiewicz to recuse herself from any case that she’s talked about during the campaign.
