Madison – Earlier today, Justice Protasiewicz declined the GOP’s request for her to recuse herself from two redistricting cases. Senator Melissa Agard (D-Madison) released the following statement:
“Justice Protasiewicz is absolutely correct to not recuse herself from the redistricting case before the Wisconsin State Supreme Court. As a duly elected Justice who won by a staggering 11 points, she has been entrusted to carry out her duties on the bench.
“Despite Republican’s desperate efforts to hold onto their gerrymandered majority, their push for recusal was never more than a blatant political maneuver and an effort to ignore the will of the people.”
