[The Federalist] A nother leftist Wisconsin judge is in trouble for abusing the powers of the third branch. It’s the latest exhibit of power-grabbing local judges perhaps learning some dangerous lessons from rogue members of the federal judiciary.
Dane County Judge Ellen Berz has been given a seven-day suspension for incidents in which she was found to have acted impulsively and with bias, USA Today first reported. The disciplinary action comes after federal prosecutors charged a Milwaukee County judge for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant facing battery charges elude arrest.
The liberal-led Wisconsin Supreme Court handed down the punishment, insisting the one-week suspension is sufficient "to impress upon Judge Berz the necessity of patience, impartiality, and restraint in her work, and to demonstrate to the public the judiciary’s dedication to promoting professionalism among its members," according to the court’s ruling, issued Tuesday.
"We conclude as discipline for the misconduct, Judge Berz should be suspended without pay for a period of seven days, commencing June 26, 2025," states the ruling, obtained by Courthouse News.
