Wisconsin Supreme Court Election: Liberal Victory Signals GOP Troubles.

Janet Protasiewicz, a liberal, won a seat on the Wisconsin state Supreme Court, flipping the ideological balance of the court to the bench’s liberal bloc for the first time in 15 years. However, newly elected Republican state senator Dan Knodl said he would consider impeaching Protasiewicz from her current position as a judge on the Milwaukee County Circuit Court. Democrats fear that Republicans in the Legislature would make a move against Protasiewicz's seat in the Supreme Court. Republicans now have a supermajority in the chamber, giving them the ability to pursue removal proceedings of certain elected officials if the Assembly votes to impeach them.
