Georgia bill is latest GOP effort targeting prosecutors
Source: AP
ATLANTA (AP) A new Georgia commission to discipline and remove wayward prosecutors would be the latest move nationwide to ratchet up oversight on what Republicans see as woke prosecutors who arent doing enough to fight crime.
The Georgia House voted 97-77 on Monday for Senate Bill 92 to create the commission. The Senate later sent the measure to Republican Gov. Brian Kemp for his signature or veto. Kemp has previously voiced support for the concept.

Carissa Hessick, a law professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said the Republican push tries to reverse a sea change in prosecution. Hessick, who directs the Prosecutors and Politics Project, said that for the first time voters are confronted with meaningful debate about prosecutors policies.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has decried the measure, claiming its a racist attack after voters elected 14 nonwhite district attorneys in Georgia in 2020. Willis pushed herself to the center of the controversy even as shes mulling charges against former President Donald Trump for interfering in Georgias 2020 election. Some have viewed it as Republican retribution against the Atlanta prosecutor.

"They" know Trump is guilty, they know that people in Georgia tried to sign up as un-elected
electors to present false ballots to change the outcome of the 2020 Presidential elections
which is illegal, and they don't give a shit about the rule of law. "They" don't want certain people
to vote or have their votes counted.
This is a Christo-Fascist move by people who can't accept the legal outcome to elections.
"The effort was born from frustrations involving a white Republican prosecutor in suburban Atlanta who was indicted for bribery related to sexual harassment claims. He lingered until he pleaded guilty to unprofessional conduct and resigned in 2022."
