“No, absolutely not,” Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said when asked at a news conference if impeachment of Justice Janet Protasiewicz was off the table.
Impeachment has drawn bipartisan opposition and two former conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court justices, asked by Vos to investigate the possibility, told him in the past week it was not warranted.
Protasiewicz refused to recuse from the redistricting lawsuit last week and sided with the liberal majority in accepting the lawsuit.
Protasiewicz last week rejected those arguments, noting that other justices have accepted campaign cash and not recused from cases.
Oral arguments before the Wisconsin Supreme Court in the redistricting challenge are set for Nov. 21.
