Republicans in the Wisconsin senate are asking the state Supreme Court to remove one of their own from the coming case on redistricting.
A dozen Republican state senators yesterday asked the court to remove Justice Janet Protasiewicz from the case because of her comments during last spring’s election. Protasiewicz called the maps ‘rigged’ and ‘unfair,’ and said she’d give them a second look. The Republicans say she prejudiced herself with those statements. Progressive groups have asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court to redraw the maps, which they say are too favorable to Republicans.
