  • Democrats filed their latest lawsuit the day after the Wisconsin Supreme Court flipped to majority liberal control in August after the election win by Justice Janet Protasiewicz. Her vote was the difference maker in the 4-3 December ruling tossing the Republican maps.

    WHAT CAN REPUBLICANS DO?
    Republicans are running out of options to stop the lines from being redrawn. They argued Protasiewicz shouldn’t hear the lawsuit because she said during her campaign that the GOP-drawn maps were “rigged” and “unfair.” But she did not recuse herself. Now Republicans are talking about raising that issue, and others, in an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court alleging due process violations.

    Poor argument of Republicans even by the Republican standard, but then again SCOTUS is hypocritical at the moment.
