Madison- Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu (R-Oostburg) issued the following statement in response to the new liberal majority’s unconstitutional appointment:
“On only their 3rd day, the liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court has telegraphed their intention to disregard the Constitution they’ve sworn to uphold to achieve partisan revenge.
Wisconsinites should be troubled by this blatant disregard for the Constitution and rule of law.”
Article VII Section 10 of the Wisconsin Constitution states, “No judge of any court of record shall hold any other office of public trust, except a judicial office, during the term for which elected”
The Supreme Court Rules state, “The director of state courts shall be the chief nonjudicial officer of the court system in the state.”
Judge Skwierawski’s term on the Milwaukee County Circuit Court does not expire until July 31, 2025
