Kemp signs bill allowing removal of local prosecutors in Georgia
The Hill ^ | 05/06/2023 | Jared Gans

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) signed a bill on Friday to establish a commission with the power to remove local prosecutors who “refuse to uphold the law.”

Kemp’s office said in a release that he established the Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission (PACQ) with his signature to serve as “a valuable oversight mechanism” for district attorneys and solicitors-general throughout the state. The office said the commission will ensure these officials fulfill their constitutional and statutory responsibilities.

I think that it will be those who refuse to prosecute black criminals who will be removed, that they will be overwhelmingly black lawyers, and the Left will screal racism on cue.

Could be a good thing, provided they aren’t afraid to go after progressive activist prosecutors.

all executives have a sworn duty to uphold the law, whether they agree with it or not.

We need to start throwing these executives that refuse in jail!

Waiting for an only-Trump fan to argue that the future removal of Soros DA’s allowed by this law proves that Kemp is an anti-Trump, deep state RINO.

You guys are behind the times on this.

It’s not about refusing to prosecute. It’s about the attempt to prosecute Trump for phone calls after the 2020 election.

Grand jury but no indictment yet. It’s about removal of that prosecuting atty.

The problem with Kemp isn’t that he’s always wrong, it’s that he’s often wrong.

Thank you for the helpful informative post, and for not posting some strawman bullshit.

********
He beat Stacy Abrams twice. He signed two anti-voting fraud bills and a host of other conservative bills after the 2020 election. He did fail to vigorously call-out the 2020 election fraudsters, but I’d say he has has more than earned his way back since then.

This could be the beginning of a planned turnaround, which I believe is both possible and probable.

A Trump in GA prosecution would be a witch hunt.

Does anybody here really think Kemp will remove the Fulton Cty prosecutors?

I predict that all non Soros-backed prosecutors will be gone in a month.

Right on cue:

“Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is considering charges against former President Trump and his allies over efforts to overturn the results of the state’s election in the 2020 presidential race. ... has denounced the law as racist, as it comes after voters elected 14 nonwhite district attorneys.”
