John K. MacIver Institute敦促威斯康星州最高法院调查关于一名退休法官影响2020年选举案件的指控,指出由于他儿子担任法院书记员,可能存在偏见。 The John K. MacIver Institute urged the Wisconsin Supreme Court to investigate claims that a retired judge influenced a 2020 election case, citing potential bias due to his son’s role as court clerk.

John K. MacIver Institute于2026年3月6日向威斯康星州最高法院提交了一份见证人书状,敦促最高法院在涉及Jim Troupis法官的2020年选举相关案件中审查司法不当行为指控。 The John K. MacIver Institute filed an amicus brief with the Wisconsin Supreme Court on March 6, 2026, urging it to review allegations of judicial impropriety in a 2020 election-related case involving Judge Jim Troupis. 简短地要求进行证据听证,以审查关于一名退休法官(其子为现任法庭书记员)可能影响关键的巡回法院裁决,甚至可能起草这一裁决的声称。 The brief calls for an evidentiary hearing to examine claims that a retired judge, whose son is the current court clerk, may have influenced a key circuit court decision, possibly even drafting it. 巡回法院未经听证就驳回了这些关切,并提出了上诉。 The circuit court dismissed these concerns without a hearing, prompting the appeal. 研究所认为,不调查有可能损害公众对司法机构的信任,特别是在引人注目的政治案件中,并强调有必要保持公正性和透明度,以保持对法律制度的信心。 The institute argues that failing to investigate risks undermining public trust in the judiciary, especially in high-profile political cases, and emphasizes the need for impartiality and transparency to maintain confidence in the legal system.
