Wisconsin GOP leader begs SCOTUS to boot liberal judge from gerrymandering case

Wisconsin's Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos appeared to suggest he'd push the U.S. Supreme Court to block his state justices from ruling on gerrymandered legislative districts on Monday — citing the fact that newly-elected Judge Janet Protasiewicz should not be allowed to hear the matter.

"Justice Protasiewicz should have recused herself. We think the United States Supreme Court precedent compels her recusal, and the United States Supreme Court will have the last word here," said Vos. “Justice Protasiewicz is asking to be taken at her word that she will apply the law. Given the Wisconsin Supreme Court is limiting its review of the redistricting case to two questions, legal contiguity and separation of powers, applying the law should be straightforward."

"The Wisconsin Supreme Court addressed these very questions less than two years ago, and the law remains the same,” he added.
