The Wisconsin Judicial Commission has cleared the liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court justices of any wrongdoing in the hiring of the state court director. This comes after Justice Rebecca Dallet faced several complaints regarding the hiring process. In response, the liberal justices criticized the commission, claiming it has been hijacked by partisan actors. They called for the commission to dismiss meritless complaints more efficiently and hold those who violate the rules accountable. The controversy arose when the liberal justices fired the former director, who was conservative, and hired a new director. The former director then filed complaints against the justices and his replacement, alleging the hiring was unconstitutional. The commission, however, found no evidence of misconduct and dismissed the complaints. The justices expressed their disappointment with the time it took to address the complaints and called for better protection of judicial independence in the state. The former director defended his actions, claiming he had a constitutional right and a duty to expose corrupt public officials.
