The conservative chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court told the new liberal majority in a scathing email that they had staged a “coup” when they voted recently to weaken her powers and hire a new director of state courts.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“You are making a mess of the judiciary, the court and the institution for years to come,” Ziegler wrote to her fellow justices and Skwierawski.
Liberals gained a 4-3 majority on Aug. 1 when Justice Janet Protasiewicz began her 10-year term after winning election in April.
She also defended her action signing orders assigning reserve judges, saying state law clearly gives her that authority.
“I had the legal authority and responsibility as well as the moral obligation to sign the orders for reserve judges,” she told Ziegler.
Ziegler sent a scathing email to all of the justices once again accusing liberals of acting illegally, causing harm to the court’s internal operations and public perception.
Ziegler refused to schedule weekly meetings with what she called the unconstitutional “invented committee” created by the liberal justices.
