Democrats secured a 4-3 liberal majority in the Wisconsin Supreme Court with the election of Judge Janet Protasiewicz. However, speculation has arisen that Republicans could impeach Protasiewicz to topple the new majority. Only one judge in Wisconsin history has faced an impeachment trial, and the Senate ultimately acquitted him in 1853.
