GET ME REWRITE: Robin Vos conducts another master class in GOP hypocrisy

 

Headline:  Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. 9/5/2023

So now Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is sending a not-so-veiled threat to use the Republican’s two-thirds majority in the Wisconsin state Senate to impeach Justice Janet Protasiewicz if she does not recuse herself from the redistricting case (“Vos urges recusal on maps cases,” Aug. 14). 

I would ask Vos if he recognizes this quote: “We elect judges in Wisconsin; therefore, judicial recusal rules have the potential to impact the effectiveness of citizens’ votes cast for judges. Stated otherwise, when a judge is disqualified from participation, the votes of all who voted to elect that judge are canceled for all issues presented by that case.” 

The author of that quote? Conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice (later Chief Justice) Patience Drake Roggensack. In 2010.
