Well, I'm just glad you back online. I've been on my ass for three weeks with a kidney infection (that I wrongly thought was a kidney stone at first...) but finally off antibiotics and steroids: So take all the time you need..
Only caveat: Re. Fani Wills case against Himself: The GA GOP gerrymandered Lege is moving to rein in 'runaway prosecutors":
Georgia’s Republican-led state legislature is considering a set of bills that would establish a commission with the power to remove prosecutors and district attorneys from their posts.
Republicans, including Gov. Brian Kemp, say additional oversight is necessary to prevent “soft on crime” prosecutors from endangering Georgians. But Democrats are taking note of the timing – Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is deciding whether to pursue indictments following her office’s investigation into former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia – as well as the fact that several GOP champions of the effort, including current Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, have been targeted in Willis’ investigation.
They have also raised concerns about undermining the will of the voters and removing minority prosecutors.
House Bill 231 would create the “Prosecuting Attorneys Oversight Commission, which shall have the power to discipline, remove, and cause involuntary retirement of appointed or elected district attorneys or solicitors-general.”
The commission would consist of eight members. Five would be on an investigative panel tasked with investigating “alleged conduct constituting grounds for discipline” and the other three would be a part of a hearing panel that adjudicates charges and issues “disciplinary and incapacity orders.”
The standards of conduct that would justify a prosecutor’s removal include mental and physical incapacity, being convicted of a crime and “conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice which brings the office into disrepute.”
Yas, yas, I can see what they're up to with that. Hope you're fully recovered from the kidney thing. I was undergoing some of my own medical tests for things as well but it looks like I'm gonna live awhile longer.
Carry on!
I thought I was automatically re-subscribed....do the deed, my man.

This crap among the voter suppression bills and more tax breaks for the wealthy.

Holy cow, am I the only one who resubscribed? The subscription page says I automatically renewed. I assume that's correct!
Hey Steve, will you pm your email addy to me on FB? I only have 1 pd subscription showing since May 5 of 2022. That occurred on Jan 15, 2023.
Most of my paid subscribers did so in 2021. In the past 15 months, there's been 7.
