Another Wisconsin Impeachment Scheme Blows Up In Rep. Vos' Face
Since Wisconsin Speaker Robin Vos was having difficulty to get people on board with his threat to impeach Justice Janet Protasiewicz, he decided to bring aboard a panel of former State Supreme Court Justices to look into the possibility of an impeachment and give guidance what to look like. Vos played this panel close to his chest and didn't volunteer any information about said panel.
It was later discovered that former Justice David Prosser was one of the people Vos brought on board to do this. It looked like a foregone conclusion on how things would turn out. Prosser, when he was on the bench, prided himself as being a "rubber stamp" for Scott Walker and the Republicans. He had even written the opinion supporting Act 10, the union busting law, without reading any of the briefs or doing any legal research.
Furthermore, Prosser is no stranger to judicial ethical problems. While a Justice, he had called then Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson a "bitch" and threatened to destroy her. He even went so far as to physically attack and strangle Justice Ann Walsh Bradley.
