Georgia Supreme Court Pauses Commission Created To Check Prosecutors, Stalling Senate Effort To Rein In Fani Willis

The Georgia Supreme Court refused to accept the proposed rules for the state's new Prosecuting Attorneys Qualification Commission in a ruling made Wednesday, effectively pausing the Republican effort to provide oversight for the state's attorneys.

Georgia lawmakers passed SB 92 last year, creating the PAQC to provide oversight of elected district attorneys across the state, and it was signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp in May. While independent, the legislation requires the Georgia Supreme Court to accept the PAQC's draft standards and rules before the committee can enforce its decisions.

In its written ruling, the Georgia Supreme Court expressed "Grave doubts" about whether it has "The constitutional power to take any action on" accepting or declining PAQC's proposals, and instead declined to make any decision on the matter, indefinitely pausing the committee.

When Georgia State Senator Colton Moore began circulating a legislative petition calling for a special session to defund or impeach Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her indictment of former President Donald Trump and his allies, Governor Brian Kemp called Moore's plan a "Grifter scam," while other Republican critics pointed to the PAQC as a realistic alternative.

Hatchett was among the eight Senate Republicans who filed an ethics complaint against Willis shortly after the PAQC started in October.

He was joined by Senate Majority Leader Steve Gooch and six other Republican senators, and their complaint alleged that Willis harmed Georgia by choosing which cases to prosecute based on her political views.

At the time, Gooch told local media the PAQC "Complaint is just one of the tools at our disposal," and promised the Senate Republicans "Won't relent until" Willis "Feels the consequences of her misplaced priorities."

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
