"Examining GOP's Impeachment Probe and Gerrymandering in Wisconsin"

Republican Wisconsin state Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has formed a panel to investigate impeachment criteria against liberal state Supreme Court Justice Jill Protasiewicz, citing her comments on redistricting and campaign donations. The panel, consisting of three former Wisconsin Supreme Court justices, will conduct their work in the coming weeks. Vos introduced a bill for nonpartisan staff to draw new maps, but Governor Tony Evers plans to veto it. Republicans argue that Protasiewicz should recuse herself from redistricting lawsuits due to her previous comments, but she has yet to decide. Impeachment requires a simple majority in the Assembly and a two-thirds majority in the Senate, where Republicans hold large majorities.
