Wisconsin State Journal: Fact check: Did liberal high court candidate Janet Protasiewicz violate the judicial code of conduct?

Rob Yablon 01.26.23

"In separate interviews and panel discussions, liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Janet Protasiewicz has called the state’s legislative maps “rigged” and said the U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided. Conservatives, from the Republican Party of Wisconsin to a prominent radio host, have said Protasiewicz’s embrace of those stances violates the Wisconsin Code of Judicial Conduct because, if she’s elected, she could help decide cases challenging the state maps and Wisconsin’s near-complete abortion ban."
