Physical threats accompany frivolous complaints in effort to intimidate judges and other public officials
MADISON, WIWisconsin Supreme Court Justice Jill Karofsky today voluntarily disclosed she faced a frivolous disciplinary complaint, alongside previously disclosed physical threats, in the wake of oral argument in Trump v Biden. The complaint was recently dismissed by the Wisconsin Judicial Commission approximately 18 months after first being filed. The disclosure happened in an interview on the Amicus podcast hosted by Dahlia Lithwick of Slate which was posted online this morning.

This complaint was designed to intimidate, and I have waived my right to confidentiality because this campaign of harassment facing me and other public officials across the country, simply for standing up for the rule of law and for our democracy, must stop, said Justice Karofsky. Whether its facing physical threats, anti-semitic harassment, or weaponization of our systems of accountability, the pillars of our democracy are under siege.
In addition to the interview on Amicus, Justice Karofsky is shining a light on the attempt to intimidate her into silence by releasing today all available documents related to her disciplinary case. She has waived her right to confidentiality on this matter.
