Willis's Current Status These are excerpts from a recent New York Times article: After revelations of Fani T. Willis’s romance with a subordinate sent the Georgia criminal case against Donald J. Trump down a two-month detour worthy of a soap opera, a judge’s ruling on Friday resolved a major...

Which is why it would be best for Willis to recuse herself from the case. She has in her office a guy named Floyd who is said to be an eminently qualified RICO prosecutor. I'd love to see Willis step back and let him take the point.

Not a Bad Idea Will Wills do what's best for the case and appoint a conflict-free prosecutor to run the case, or will she do what's best for her ego and run the case herself?

The Ruling is In; Willis Not Disqualified "The judge overseeing the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants has declined to outright disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, but ruled that either she or prosecutor Nathan Wade...

A winning strategy.

Yesterday, Cannon ruled against Trump on his "constitutional vagueness" claim. https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4533210-trump-documents-case-judge-rejects-dismissal-bid/ I'm hoping she dismisses the case outright on Trump's "personal records" argument. The dismissal can then be...

Abortion affects people the same no matter what month, year, or election cycle it is. This issue does not come and go like some other policy issues do. Since SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade, abortion rights have consistently motivated people to the polls. Anti-abortion Republicans have much to...

"Looking ahead to November, the presidential race could decide more than just who the next president is. It could also determine which party controls the Senate or House or even a state’s legislature. And that’s because of something political science calls the “coattail effect,” which is when...

You know the answer to that. Trump was not running when these ballot questions were decided. But I would not count the Trump coattail chickens before they hatch in 2024. Abortion rights are a stand-alone issue and the majority of voters will vote against any politician who threatens to take...

GOP Scraps Early Voting Initiative "In a victory for the extremist wing of the Republican Party, it looks like Donald Trump’s hand-picked leadership team at the Republican National Committee has officially scrapped the GOP’s plan to encourage early voting this election cycle. Instead, the party...

Quote of the Week Soon to be down to a two-vote margin, MAGA Mike Johnson's grip is slipping, and the House Republicans hate each more than ever. See the sourced article. “'I'd rather sit down with Hannibal Lecter and eat my own liver,' said one House Republican when asked if they are...

I'm with them. Go scorched earth. Burn the GOP down. Let MAGA rise from the ashes. I said some time ago we're watching the demise of the Republican Party. Go MAGA! Let's put the GOP out of its misery and Make America Great Again!!!

MAGA House Republicans seem to be doing everything in their power to convert their majority into next year's minority. MAGA may well be better off with more MAGA members in leadership roles, at least in the eyes of their fellow MAGA activists. I guess it matters little whether they win elections...

Judge McAfee ended the third sentence of his latest ruling with a period. In fact, he ended every other sentence in that ruling with a period too. His propensity to end sentences clearly illustrates the additional pattern of letting Willis off the hook. Only someone with TDS would not see...

Buck's Abrupt Departure Disrupts Johnson, Boebert and GOP https://www.salon.com/2024/03/13/mike-johnson-blindsided-as-abrupt-departure-shrinks-majority--and-puts-lauren-boebert-at-risk/

A Hint? This idea is floating around online now that Judge McAfee dismissed six of the 41 counts of the GA RICO indictment. "... if McAfee had been planning to remove Willis from the case, he wouldn't have taken the time to write such a detailed order because her disqualification would have...

Didn't the House Republicans Say Something About Impeaching Biden? "House Republicans are increasingly acknowledging that they don’t have the votes to impeach President Joe Biden ...: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/13/house-gop-biden-impeachment-plans-00146622

Judge Dismisses 6 Counts of the GA RICO Case https://apnews.com/article/georgia-election-interference-2020-trump-46e0b68c25719c404130f7e6eab69dcd 1. Bad news for and bad look for Willis. A better prosecutor would write better indictments. "It's a screw-up by prosecutors when you bring a charge...

Actually, Carroll's claims against Trump are highly credible. They were closely scrutinized in a court of law and the court ruled in her favor. People may disagree, and they may continue to claim that Carroll's claims are not credible, and now claim that the court itself is not credible, but the...
