HERE'S THE REAL REASON THEY NEED THE MAJORITY AND CHIEF JUSTICE
Not only does the RW need to maintain their majority control over the decision made by the Court, they also need the Chief Justice on "their side" controlling the agenda. The most important case they will decide this year will be on the continuation or demise of the second John Doe Probe.
RW donor groups The Wisconsin Club for Growth and Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce are under investigation for coordinating with Republican campaigns, particularly Scott Walkers. If those groups sound familiar, it's because they are the same groups that have spent tens of millions of dollars buying a State Supreme Court majority. None of the Justices that have received assistance from these groups have recused themselves and, because they have the majority of votes, none of them will be forced to recuse.
And here's where things become really interesting (from The New Yorker article):

With conservative political organizations under scrutiny, Walker petitioned the Wisconsin Supreme Court to decide whether state law justified the probe. Last December, the court agreed to hear the case and took the unusual step of scheduling oral argument over two days instead of one. Then it took a more unusual step and cancelled the argument, saying that it plans to rule on the matter based solely on briefs submitted in the case.

That's right. The Supremes won't be hearing ANY arguments in this case. The results, already a foregone conclusion considering the long history of ideological voting from the RW Justices, won't have any public scrutiny at all since there won't be oral arguments or any arguments at all. And that's exactly what Scott Walker and the Wisconsin GOP want. They have had electoral success coordinating with those heavily financed groups and don't want any pesky legal troubles continuing that great deal. Walker, in particular, doesn't want a John Doe Probe following him around to early Republican primary states, either. He'll keep on using a heavy cologne to overpower the smell that surrounds him.
The RW controls the Wisconsin Governors office, legislature, and now totally owns our State Supreme Court lock, stock and barrel. The only thing that stands in their way are elections and RW front groups are standing by with more tens of millions of dollars turning Wisconsin into their very own Burger King where they get to have it their way all the time.
When the stench of corruption from the Wisconsin Supreme Court reaches the pages of The New Yorker, you know it's bad.
