If convicted and removed the governor can appoint a new justice.

But...

The fun part is they don't have to convict, under WI law if a justice is impeached they are barred from trying cases until the Senate tries them.

If they move forward my money is on impeachment and delay, since that kills the majority (that the people of WI voted for, on the basis that she opposed the horrific district maps) and everyone's job is safe for another election cycle.
