Wisconsin voters then, by a big majority, elect Janet Protasiewicz to their state Supreme Court.
Wisconsin Republicans now want to impeach and remove the new Justice because she is flagrantly pro-democracy, but is still willing to rule on gerrymandering when it comes to the court.
Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson reacts to their reaction:
I'm 100% sympathetic with the view that Janet Protasiewicz should not have offered her opinion on Wisconsin's legislative boundaries during the campaign. However, the voters heard her, heard her opponent's criticism, and still chose her. Voters have the right to be wrong.

James expands on the plan by gerrymandered Wisconsin Republicans to use their gerrymander to preserve their gerrymander forever.
We’re watching another wall being erected around our state Capitol. Instead of protecting the law or our rights as Wisconsin citizens, the wall is being built to protect the members of our legislature. Every last one of them is more precious than the will of the voters in the last Supreme Court election.
