In its two-page order, the court said it was acting to protect public confidence in Wisconsin courts during the criminal proceedings against Dugan. The order noted that the court was acting on its own initiative and was not responding to a request from anyone. Liberal justices control the court 4-3.

“It is ordered … that Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah C. Dugan is temporarily prohibited from exercising the powers of a circuit court judge in the state of Wisconsin, effective the date of this order and until further order of the court,” the justices wrote.

      it is a liberal-majority on the state supreme court.

      they made the move to protect the integrity of the judicial process–not to further a maga agenda.

        That’s what they said.

        But protect the integrity of the judicial process from who? From Homeland Security?

      These aren’t the fascists, they’re enablers. Just as culpable for the fascism, but doing it in pursuit of a facade of being above such trivial things as the real world context of the complaint.

      Fuck these spineless failures whistling their way to the grave.
