We have talked about the two most important races coming up in the Spring Elections in Wisconsin on April 4.
The Republicans on the ballot are extremists. The Republican extremist who is running for State Senate (SD-8) suggests that he will impeach Judge Janet Protasiewicz if she wins the state-wide race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

In Wisconsin, please vote for: Judge Janet Protasiewicz (state-wide race) and Jodi Habush Sinykin (SD-8).
Vote against these Wisconsin extremists: Dan Kelly (state-wide) and Dan Knodl (SD-8)
Former Attorney General Eric Holder calls this the most important election of 2023.

Supreme Court Race: Electing Janet Protasiewicz would shift the balance of the Wisconsin Supreme Court from Republican to Democrat.
I don’t have to tell you all the great things that could potentially move in the right direction – and all the horrible things that could potentially be stopped – if Judge Janet Protasiewicz is elected on April 4.
State Senate Race (SD-8): Electing Jodi Habush Sinykin will keep Senate Republicans from the 2/3 majority that allow them to remove state officials who are impeached by the State Assembly.
Wisconsin Republicans are defending a two-thirds majority in the state Senate that they achieved in November but quickly lost after the retirement of longtime GOP state Sen. Alberta Darling of River Hills. If Knodl replaces Darling, Senate Republicans will have enough members to be able to remove state officials who are impeached by the state Assembly.
But wait, it’s worse than that!
The republican running against Jodi Habush Sinykin says that if he wins – which would mean that Senate Republicans would have the 2/3 majority – he will consider impeaching Judge Janet Protasiewicz if she is elected on April 4.
And here he is, the day after another school shooting.
I know most of the time it seems like elections don't matter, but if you live in Wisconsin, you can choose not to make this guy the swing vote on the state Supreme Court.

MADISON – Republican state Senate candidate Dan Knodl says if his election gives Senate Republicans a two-thirds majority, he would “certainly consider” support launching impeachment proceedings against Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Janet Protasiewicz.
Wisconsin Republicans are defending a two-thirds majority in the state Senate that they achieved in November but quickly lost after the retirement of longtime GOP state Sen. Alberta Darling of River Hills. If Knodl replaces Darling, Senate Republicans will have enough members to be able to remove state officials who are impeached by the state Assembly.
The Wisconsin Constitution allows lawmakers to remove state officials “for corrupt conduct in office, or for crimes and misdemeanors,” but Knodl said Sunday he would consider launching impeachment proceedings for criminal justice officials “who have failed” at their jobs.
Republican state Rep. Dan Knodl of Germantown and Democrat Jodi Habush Sinykin of Whitefish Bay will square off in an April 4 special election for the 8th Senate District.
In an appearance on WISN-TV’s political talk show “UpFront,” Knodl said the “Milwaukee County justice system is failing” and said he believes its prosecutors and circuit court judges “need to be looked at” including Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm and Protasiewicz.
“She has failed,” Knodl said. When asked directly if he would support impeaching Protasiewicz, Knodl said “I certainly would consider it.”
Knodl did not immediately say whether his comments meant he would consider voting in favor of impeaching Protasiewicz if she is elected to the state Supreme Court on Tuesday.
I think it’s fair to say at this point that all Republicans are authoritarians now. Whether they are active authoritarians or just supporting those who are, the Republican party has become the party of authoritarians. Appalling.
