While a bitter taste still lingers from progressive wins at the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Chicago city hall, Republicans are savoring two electoral gains this week with long-term consequences: a new supermajority in the Wisconsin legislature and conservative school board wins in Chicago's suburbs.
In fact, state Rep. Dan Knodl's capture of a vacant Wisconsin state Senate seat on Tuesday already has Republicans contemplating using their new two-thirds majority in the chamber to possibly remove liberal officials like elected judges and district attorneys through impeachment.
Knodl said before he was elected, he would consider impeaching Milwaukee County court officials, including judges and George Soros-backed Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm.
Knodl said one of those he would consider voting to remove from office would be Janet Protasiewicz, a Milwaukee judge who won a vacant seat on the state Supreme Court Tuesday that tipped the court's majority to liberals' advantage with major rulings on abortion ahead.
