Where is the momentum to focus on these right-wing judges who keep finding new ways for the former president to be above the law?
The GA appeals court will not review the complaint case of #FaniWillis until after the election. We should be just outraged by these crimes and obstruction of justice.

@JaniceOCG You're getting this story backwards.
They aren't finding ways for the former president to be above the law, but rather they are insisting that the current president abide by the law.
Biden can't prosecute people in ways that are not legally allowed. That's what's being called out.
The Democrats need to put forward a nominee who hasn't shirked the law as Biden has. He botched this prosecution. We need to hold him accountable for it.
@LouisIngenthron but of course he is! Legally!
The design of the US government leaves all executive branch actions at the feet of the president, that's how we keep them in check. It is really important to emphasize that because, again, that's how we hold officials responsible for what the executive branch does.
@volkris @JaniceOCG That argument might be remotely convincing if most of the cases against Trump weren't at the state level.
@LouisIngenthron and Trump is absolutely being held to the law with the state court cases. So what in the world are you talking about?
@volkris
Would you explain your point here further? TIA
@JaniceOCG The president, Biden, was attempting to prosecute Trump illegally.
The Supreme Court said that the prosecution could not go forward because it was illegal. In theory Biden could have gone through with the prosecution and Trump could have appealed after being found guilty, but the court said no, the prosecution was illegal and therefore there's no reason Trump would have had to go through the whole rigmarole of a jury trial and then appeal. The court said the prosecution should have been stopped right away before the trial.
And so so the Supreme Court clamped down on the ability of presidents to conduct illegal prosecutions.
@volkris @JaniceOCG Biden isn't involved in any of these cases. You're arguing an unhinged conspiracy theory.
