The Wisconsin Supreme Court has two cases before it on redistricting that would need to be decided by March 2024 to have new maps in place for the 2024 elections. It's in the interest of Republicans to stall the case to hold on to GOP-designed maps that heavily favor them.

This week's Capitol Notes unpacks what-in-gosh-darn-is-happening-in-Wisconsin?! as Wisconsin Republicans raise the idea of impeaching Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz before she's even heard a case, and Democrats respond by mobilizing anti-impeachment efforts. JR Ross, editor of WisPolitics.com has talked to Republicans, he's talked to Democrats, and he lays out the motives behind the developments, and what we could expect as this unfolds. Tune in for more!
