Go for broke.
She should find a judge who will sign criminal warrants on the charge of Obstruction of Justice for all the legislators who voted for this “law”. Have them served and watch the fun begin.
B cause that’s EXACTLY what they’re doing.
Lock them up!!

By the way, the law allowing challenges to DAs doesn't go into effect until April of 2024 and so will have no effect on Fanni Willis' case.

(27,215 posts)A law which is been conceived and passed simply to remove a prosecutor who is pursuing an individual whom “they“ don’t want prosecuted? Let them fight it out, pretrial motions, and in court. Trump isn’t the only person who can file suits in this country… This is an absolute attempt to subvert the process of enforcing the law. It needs to be recognized as such.
I am tired of the righteous piddling around and pissing on their own shoes. I say, go for it…

(123,948 posts)if a crime has not been committed and no prosecutor would ask for it, or submit it to a grand jury - it would be bad faith prosecution. It wouldn't even get as far as a fight over the validity of the warrant. It's a bad law but as I said before, passing a bad law isn't a crime; and anyhow, the legislators who voted for it would probably be protected by legislative immunity. It would be a horrible precedent, too.

(19,023 posts)That the arraigning judge could just as easily dismiss the charges?
I don’t think she could find a grand jury to issues indictments in the first place.

(123,948 posts)it's malicious prosecution. It's not OK if they do it and it's not OK if we do it.

(19,023 posts)That’s kind of an embarrassing statement, don’t you think?
You do know how indictments work, don’t you?
