Wisconsin's own impeachment investigation turns messy with panelist pick

Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has vowed to impeach Janet Protasiewicz , the state's newest high court judge.

She is accused of taking money from the Democratic Party and refusing to recuse herself from cases involving campaign donors.

Prosser , a former Justice , was picked for the three -person panel by Vos .

Democrats framed the state high court showdown as their last shot at stopping Republicans from keeping their grip on the battleground state, while conservatives slammed Protasiewicz 's impartiality. The race between Kelly and Protasiewicz was the most expensive election for a state Supreme Court in history, with an estimated $45 million pumped into it from special interest groups, including liberal megadonor George Soros and Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein , one of America 's wealthiest families who have two of the deepest pockets in conservative politics..
