Wisconsin GOP leader creates panel to probe criteria for impeachment against liberal state Supreme Court justice
CBSN
Republican Wisconsin state Assembly Speaker Robin Vos announced Wednesday that he has created a panel to investigate impeachment criteria, as he considers taking that step against liberal state Supreme Court over comments she made during her winning campaign about redistricting and nearly $10 million in donations she received from the state Democratic Party.
The impeachment criteria panel being created by Vos will be made up of three former Wisconsin Supreme Court justices whom Vos told The Associated Press he would not name until after their work is done. Vos said they were not being paid and he expected their work to be complete in the "next few weeks."
The move to further investigate possible impeachment against Protasiewicz comes the day after Vos and Republicans introduced a bill, modeled after the law in Iowa, where new maps would be drawn by nonpartisan legislative staff and be approved by the GOP-controlled Legislature for 2024.
