The conservative chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Monday told the new liberal majority in a scathing email that they had staged a “coup” and conducted an “illegal experiment” when they voted to weaken her powers and fire the director of state courts.
Chief Justice Annette Ziegler, in two emails obtained by The Associated Press, said that firing and hiring a new state court director was illegal and ordered interim state court director Audrey Skwierawski to stop signing orders without her knowledge or approval.
“This is nothing short of an unprecedented coup. For 40 years, the role of the Chief Justice has been understood and respected.”
Says that lady who literally stole the chief position from her predecessor by changing the rules with checks notes the majority rule she is now decrying.
The irony here is soooo delicious.
No one should respect this clown Ziegler. Obviously partisan and anti democratic hack.
And a bitch.
