All five Republican members of Congress from Wisconsin want Judge Janet Protasiewicz to remove herself from a case that challenges the state’s congressional maps.
Congressmen Glenn Grothman, Mike Gallagher, Bryan Steil, Tom Tiffany, and Scott Fitzgerald requested this after a liberal law firm called the Elias Law Group filed a motion to have Wisconsin’s congressional map redrawn by the Wisconsin Supreme Court, similar to how the court has redrawn the state’s legislative maps.
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) and the congressmen are arguing that Protasiewicz has already made up her mind on the case and may not be fair.
However, Protasiewicz has rejected calls to step down from the legislative map case and is not expected to change her position on the congressional maps.
