Oh, the melodrama! Justice Janet Protasiewiczn, that liberal darling, has once again raised eyebrows with her audacity. Despite conservatives’ calls for her recusal, Protasiewiczn has defiantly declared that she will not step aside from election cases. Can you believe it? The nerve!
Let’s back up a little and set the scene. Earlier this year, Protasiewiczn swept into victory on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, spewing all sorts of nonsense about the state’s legislative maps being “rigged” and “unfair.” Well, conservatives weren’t too happy about that, naturally. They argued that her bias on this issue should disqualify her from any election-related cases. It’s like asking a cookie monster to judge a bake-off. Ridiculous, isn’t it?
But Protasiewiczn, the self-proclaimed champion of justice, refuses to budge. She’s sticking to her guns and asserting her right to be involved in these cases. The nerve of this woman! Doesn’t she understand the importance of an impartial system? It’s like she’s playing a game of Monopoly and has already decided who’s going to win before anyone’s even rolled the dice.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is not one to let something like this slide. He threatened to start impeachment proceedings if Protasiewiczn didn’t step aside. Respect! Vos knows that justice should be blindfolded, like Lady Justice herself, not swayed by personal biases or political agendas. But Protasiewiczn seems to have forgotten that important detail. Maybe she needs a pair of glasses to see clearly, or better yet, a reality check!

Conservatives aren’t the only ones unhappy with Protasiewiczn’s decision. Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce Executive Director Scott Manley called her out for violating the Judicial Code of Ethics and denying due process to the litigants. I couldn’t have said it better myself, Scott! It’s outrageous that Protasiewiczn would clasp onto her position and trample over the rights of those seeking justice. It’s like she’s playing a twisted game of Simon Says, except she’s the only one who knows the rule and everyone else is left in the dark.
In the end, Protasiewiczn’s refusal to recuse herself from election cases is yet another slap in the face to conservatives in Wisconsin. It’s a reminder that the justice system is not immune to the whims and biases of those who hold power. We can only hope that justice will prevail despite Protasiewiczn’s clear agenda. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and our eyes wide open, folks!
