Wisconsin Judicial Commission to consider complaint against judges who signed Walker recall.  Appleton Post-Crescent,  4/24/2012)

Excerpt;    A Gannett Wisconsin Media investigation in mid-March found at least 29 judges signed the Walker recall — about 12 percent of the state’s county-level judiciary. That prompted the Landmark Legal Foundation to file a complaint against the judges.

The nine-member judicial commission includes two judges and two lawyers appointed by the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and five people outside the legal field appointed by the governor. 

Three of Walker’s appointees have made donations to the governor’s campaign or Republican candidates. Since January, Walker has appointed Saied Assef, Mark Barrette, Eileen Burnett, William E. Cullinan and Lynn M. Leazer to the commission.

Campaign finance records digitized by the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign show Barrette donated $1,300 to Walker in 2010 and Burnett donated $4,430 from 2009 to 2011. Assef has donated more than $10,000 to Republicans since 2004, but nothing to Walker.
