A liberal watchdog group filed a lawsuit on Monday against a three-person Republican-led panel investigating possible impeachment charges against Justice Janet Protasiewicz, Wisconsin's newest and most liberal state Supreme Court judge.

A liberal watchdog group filed a lawsuit on Monday against a three-person Republican-led panel investigating possible impeachment charges against Justice Janet Protasiewicz, Wisconsin's newest and most liberal state Supreme Court judge.

“[Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos] has convened a secret panel to quickly craft recommendations for the potential impeachment of a newly elected state Supreme Court justice — a fundamentally anti-democratic action that is of great public importance and interest," American Oversight Executive Director Heather Sawyer said in a written statement.

“This complaint is without merit and shows how desperate the Left is to change the subject away from the more important issue of the recusal of Justice Protasiewicz,” Vos said in a statement on Monday. On the campaign trail, Protasiewicz turned heads by pushing her positions on topics she may have to rule on, including the GOP-drawn electoral maps, which she described as"rigged" and"unfair."
