Georgia Supreme Court ruling prevents GOP-backed commission from beginning to discipline prosecutors
Georgia’s state Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to approve rules for a new commission to discipline and remove state prosecutors, meaning the commission can’t begin operating.
Some Republicans in Georgia want the new commission to discipline or remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for winning indictments of former President Donald Trump and 18 others.
In an unsigned order, justices said they have “grave doubts” about their ability to regulate the duties of district attorneys beyond the practice of law. They said that because lawmakers hadn’t expressly ordered justices to act, they were refusing to rule one way or the other.

Has become?
This is not a recent development.
The only thing that's changed is how blatant they are about it.
This has been the goal since at least the 80’s. I was raised with the intention of being a part of it.
Republicans want to rule, not govern. They have completely lost any respect for silly things like separation of powers and the will of the people. Republicans are the most serious threat to our democracy that the US has faced since the Civil War.
Prosecutors charge suspect #1.
Same Republicans: "Oh no you fuckin don't."
Cope & seethe, #fascist #GOP.
