The Georgia Supreme Court Monday declined to take up an effort from former President Donald Trump to quash an investigation into his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state.
The unanimous decision from the court’s nine justices was swiftly delivered just days after Trump’s legal team asked the court Friday to block an investigation by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D).

Following his loss in the 2020 presidential election, Trump asked Georgia’s secretary of state to “find” another 11,780 votes to launch him to victory.
His campaign also organized a slate of false electors to certify he had won the election in the state.
Willis has yet to bring charges against Trump but suggested a high-profile case could be filed in August.

Corrupt judges
Unanimous? What is the make up of the court?
I expected no less from them.
There should be warnings before posting obscene photos.
8 republicans 1 democrat.
Anyone read their reasoning?
I can’t find it. But probably will be released. It’s a ruling today so maybe tomorrow.
Trump is as good at picking lawyers as he is picking Cabinet members.
The second argument, that the special grand jury is unfair and therefore any subsequent indictment should be dismissed and the evidence should be suppressed in a subsequent trial, was also rejected by the Supreme Court. The Court then went onto explain in very simple terms what a grand jury is, how it differs from a trial jury and how it relates to the Constitution.
Do tell how the Supreme Court should hear the Writs before the Superior Court. Here’s your chance to dazzle the world with your legal insight.
They’re Georgia Republicans.
I've been on Free Republic since 1997, and I've finally made my determination:
This turd world banana republic is done. There is no "rule of law" - only corrupt grifting stooges everywhere.
Go ahead and "vote" if it makes you feel better. I intend to stay out of their way.
You have no idea what the ruling actually is, but since it’s against Trump you think it’s corrupt?
At this point you have to go by history, and that is 100% of the charges against President Trump have been corrupt. So going in you know the chances.
Yep.
All you need to know about Georgia is that the Georgia Republican establishment traded two solid Pubbie US Senate seats for a governorship and continued control of the state legislature by the Georgia Good Old RINO Boys network.
How do you think 8 RINO stooges on the Georgia Supreme Court are going to rule?
So if, by chance, Trump’s idiot lawyers filed it in the wrong Court, you’d still think the judges are corrupt. You perfectly reflect the trump cult.
