The former director of Wisconsin's court system filed five complaints against his replacement and the liberal state Supreme Court justices who voted to oust him, claiming his dismissal was politically motivated and the new appointment illegal.
Randy Koschnick was appointed to his role as the state's top nonjudicial court official in 2017, when conservatives held the majority. He filed his grievances on Tuesday with the Wisconsin Judicial Commission, an independent agency tasked with enforcing a code of conduct for judges and court commissioners in the state.He was fired one day after liberals secured a majority on the state Supreme Court in April.
He also filed complaints against Justices Ann Walsh Bradley, Rebecca Dallet, Jill Karofsky, and Janet Protasiewicz, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. But Skwierawski, who took leave from her position on the Milwaukee County Circuit Court on Aug. 3, said in a statement that she worked with legal experts and reviewed the law herself to make sure she was eligible to serve in her new role. As director of state courts, she will advise the state Supreme Court on how to improve its processes while also overseeing its budgets and operations.
"It is shameful," added Ziegler, a member of the three-justice conservative minority."I fear this is only the beginning."
