The conservative chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court told the new liberal majority in a scathing email that they had staged a “coup” when they voted recently to weaken her powers and hire a new director of state courts.

I’m not so sure that’s accurate. In the article you’ve got someone hired by the Liberal Majority taking over the work of the Chief Justice, who did not agree to it, and then signing legal documents appointing new Judges with the Chief Justice’s name.
Sure, fuck Republicans, but that sounds super shady to me.
Your reading comprehension needs work:
firing and hiring a new state court director was illegal and ordered interim state court director Audrey Skwierawski to stop signing orders without her knowledge or approval.
The court director always signs with the chief justices name. That’s how it works.
The liberal majority replaced the director as is within their power. Ziegler can’t stop them so she’s throwing a tantrum and saying the new director can’t use her name… Ziegler has no standing to demand this. There is nothing inappropriate here. Ziegler is just mad she can’t run the show anymore.
She stole the chief justice position from the former chief anyway when the cons took the majority last time so if anything this is her comeuppance.
