'BradCast' 8/22/2023 (Guest: Ernest A. Canning on WI GOP threat to impeach state Supreme Court Justice)
08-22-2023 (53.44 MB)
On today's 'BradCast': Wisconsin Republican state lawmakers are threatening to impeach a newly-elected state Supreme Court Justice just days after her swearing in to prevent the new liberal court majority from ruling on heavily-gerrymandered maps that have entrenched minority Republicans in power. BRAD BLOG legal analyst ERNEST A. CANNING discusses the Republican plot to quash two petitions asking the court to toss the state's heavily gerrymandered legislative maps as unconstitutional, and mandate new emergency elections for the state Senate. Canning explains the merits of the petitions, the Republicans' complaints, and the constitutional crisis brewing if the state's gerrymandered GOP-controlled legislature votes to impeach and remove Justice Janet Protasiewicz. Also today: Donald Trump's co-defendants have begun surrendering in the Fulton County, Georgia indictment of their multi-state conspiracy to steal the 2020 election. John Eastman, the architect of the unlawful scheme to pressure former Vice President Mike Pence to reject legitimate Electoral College votes, and Scott Hall, the MAGA operative who unlawfully breached the Coffee County, GA voting system, were booked and released on bond.
