FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - The U.S. Supreme Court has granted Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis an extension to respond to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows' attempts to move his case in the Fulton County election interference investigation to federal court.
Meadows, who served as top aide to former President Donald Trump, asserted that he stands a better chance of prevailing in a federal jury trial compared to proceedings in the Fulton County Superior Court. His legal team contends that a recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity could bolster his case.

Willis previously had a deadline of Sept. 3 to respond to the petition but asked for an extension because she had "a scheduled period of personal leave between Aug. 23 and Sept. 3" as well as "other professional commitments."
A representative for the U.S. Supreme Court agreed, giving Willis until Sept. 30 to respond to Meadows' request.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
I assume they mean a Justice member. Justice Thomas is assigned the Eleventh Judicial Circuit which is the Circuit which includes Atlanta. Would this mean that Justice T granted the extension? I'm not sure. But, I would think a request for an extension means Willis is not sure of her response.
Also, I wonder what type of "other commitments" is interfering with her response.
Perhaps, FW was in the Windy City interviewing for her next career change. /sarc
Personal leave is the perfect time to get those pesky chores done that can’t be done in a normal work week, e.g., dentist appointments, car tune-ups, lawsuits, etc.
