Thank god the governor and attorney general in Georgia are Republicans. They will fix things pronto!
Like Gardiner, Willis was elected to office and there is no quick an easy way to remove her. And since both are ‘protected-class women of color’ every I has to be dotted and every t crossed to have any chance of success.
Here in the free state of FL, Governor DeSantis has suspended over 20 people from elected office since he first took office in 2019. Most of them were because of an elected official getting charged with a felony, but several were tied to policy decisions or other actions in office and courted criticism from the governor’s opponents.
Under Florida law, a governor can suspend an elected official for wrongdoing that includes neglect of duty, incompetence, malfeasance, drunkenness or commission of a felony. After a suspension, a Senate trial must take place to confirm the removal.
No one DeSantis has suspended has been acquitted by the Senate. And every one of those suspended from office were either Democrats or were in a nonpartisan post but clearly aligned with Democrats either through their political history or endorsements.
