: The GavelJAS, Brennan: WI Recusal Plan at Odds With Caperton
By Charlie Hall
Justice at Stake and the Brennan Center for Justice today submitted written testimony to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The groups said proposed changes to the state’s recusal rules “are in clear conflict with the holding of the United States Supreme Court in Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co.”
The 2009 Supreme Court ruling ordered a West Virginia judge off a case involving a coal executive who spent $3 million to help elect him.
The state Supreme Court’s proposal says that judges should “never” recuse from a case solely because of a litigant’s campaign spending. According to recent news reports, the court was scheduled today to discuss the proposal, which has excited intense controversy.
