"Political Showdown: Wisconsin Republicans Push for Impeachment of Liberal State Supreme Court Justice"

TL;DR Summary
Republicans in Wisconsin are considering impeaching a newly seated liberal justice on the state's Supreme Court, Justice Janet Protasiewicz, in an effort to prevent the court's new 4-to-3 liberal majority from overturning Republican-drawn state legislative maps and legalizing abortion in the state. This move has raised concerns about democracy and the legitimacy of elections in Wisconsin, where Republicans have previously disputed the outcome of the 2020 presidential contest. Democrats are launching a $4 million counteroffensive to oppose the impeachment, while Republicans argue that Justice Protasiewicz should recuse herself from relevant cases.
