MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin judge on Friday ordered the former chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court to produce records related to her work advising the Republican Assembly speaker on whether to impeach a current justice. Former Chief Justice Patience Roggensack was one of three former Supreme Court justices asked by Assembly Speaker Robin Vos to give him advice on pursuing impeachment. The liberal watchdog group American Oversight filed a lawsuit seeking records from Vos and the three former justices. Wilcox told The Associated Press he did not produce a report, but verbally told Vos impeachment was not warranted. On Friday, Dane County Circuit Judge Frank Remington issued an order giving Roggensack 30 days to produce any records she has.

Wisconsin Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos asked three former conservative Supreme Court justices for advice on impeachment. The third, former Chief Justice Patience Roggensack, has not said what her advice was and Vos has repeatedly refused to disclose it. American Oversight wants the judge to order the former justices to meet in public and to release records related to their work. Prosser released the email he sent Vos that included his impeachment advice, as well as voicemail messages from Roggensack and text messages they exchanged. Neither Wilcox, Roggensack, nor Vos’ office have responded to its requests for records, American Oversight said.

Wisconsin’s Judicial Election Donnybrook

Judicial elections used to be sleepy, nonpartisan affairs, but not anymore. A race for an open Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin has become a brawl with the Democratic candidate all but declaring how she’ll rule on cases. Conservatives on the Wisconsin court hold a 4-3 majority, but conservative Justice Patience Roggensack is retiring. Democrats are giddy at the prospect of controlling the court for the first time in more than a decade, and they’re not hiding their ambition to turn it into a policy engine.
A nonpartisan election for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court is turning out to be one of the most partisan contests in the country, one that could change the political trajectory of the crucial swing state and determine the outcome of fights over an 1849 abortion law and voting access. The state’s highest court has had a reliable 4-3 conservative majority in recent years that has upheld laws passed by Republicans and challenged in court, including legislation barring labor contracts that require the payment of union dues; voting-access rules; and the makeup of legislative districts. The pending retirement of conservative-leaning Justice Patience Roggensack has given Democrats a chance to flip the seat and has brought national attention to an off-year election.
Waukesha County Judge Jennifer Dorow is running for the state's Supreme Court in November. Dorow and her husband, Brian, have also applied to open an indoor gun range, Jezebel reported. The gun range would host weddings and holiday events and serve alcohol, city documents show. Dorow announced her candidacy for the Wisconsin Supreme Court in late November 2022. He also defended the proposal request for a liquor license in the same space as the gun range.
