As part of Republicans’ nationwide assault on voting rights, Wisconsin right-wingers pushed for a liberal justice on the state Supreme Court to recuse from a crucial redistricting case in which she could cast the tiebreaking vote. Rejecting recusal, Justice Janet Protasiewicz cited opinions from a litany of Republican judges, including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s recent decision not to recuse from a tax case.
Regarding her map statements, among the things she cited was a Supreme Court opinion written by another GOP appointee, Antonin Scalia. “I simply expressed my personal opinions as permitted by” the 2002 case Republican Party of Minnesota v. White, she wrote. There, Scalia wrote for the GOP-appointed majority that it was a violation of the First Amendment to bar judicial candidates from stating their views on disputed legal and political issues.
