Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the Department of Justice is suing the state of Georgia Friday over their passing of a law to ensure election integrity and security. President Biden has been highly critical of the new law comparing it to Jim Crow. George Washington University Law Professor and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley sat down with "Fox & Friends" Saturday to analyze the DOJ lawsuit.
"I'm highly skeptical and I think they may ultimately regret this move. It could indeed clarify this issue in a way the Biden administration does not want," Turley said.

If someone happens to look at the Constitution, this lawsuit goes down in flames.

This will allow the little weasel, Garland, to tie up the new law in court, to reelect the black dude next year, and perhaps, through multiple appeals, keep the new law out of the 2024 election.
Unethical ? Of course.

I heard the AG of Georgia said bring it on. It won't stand up (no standing) in the Georgia court of law. This is a tactic to take attention away from the Arizona audit results predicted to be revealed early next. I wonder if McSally will replace Kelly and how that will be done. Expect the pathetic looking screaming memes on MSNBC and CNN to be howling.

Considering how much federal courts of law have become more and more politicized (commencing at least since the mid 1970s) it's difficult to even try to make educated guesses how they may decide cases that involve voting procedures and/or races of voters.

Years ago, most people began to see the Democrats for what they are - lying, cheating creeps. So, they’d move the goalposts and change the rules to keep their majority. Of course the result of the last election was to lie and cheat with everything they could come up with to remove Trump and install a senile fool and a low IQ woman. This is just their latest trick.

Turley is very often right. Unfortunately this “Fox digital assistant” is not a reporter or a journalist. Terrible writing, repetition, ridiculous. Too often Fox’s print articles are shallow and poorly written.
It sounds as though Turley sees this lawsuit’s opening the door to clarification of states’ rights re elections and restriction of the fed in trying to meddle with them or control them.

#5 so many people I know, have known and remain related to treat politics as a game. Hooray! for our side regardless of the fate of the country. I have yellow dog dim relatives who are anti - abortion, illegal immigration, gay marriage...and one outright racist elderly uncle but cheer any dim victory or rep defeat. Illogical but true.

What this lawsuit shows is that Merrick Garland would have been a drastic mistake had he been seated on the Supreme Court. A big thumbs up for McConnell, but only this time.

Funny how states rights trumped everything, when sanctuary cities and states were going against President Trump. But states rights don't count when the idiot doofus in Washington is against something. I remember Obies admin. trying to withhold federal funds from NC, when they wouldn't let boy's in the girls bathrooms, President Trump couldn't withhold fed. funding for sanctuary violations, and now it will be OK again to withhold fed. funding because the village idiot says so. They talk about defunding the ATF, but it's the DOJ that needs to be shut down.
And where are the media cries about an AG that doesn't represent ALL of the citizenry, not just the Man from Dementia? Is Garland doofus' wing man?

All laws should be re-written so that the give more power to the federal government and make it impossible for the truth about the 2020 Presidential election be made known.

Folks, Garland has to know that the DOJ will eventually lose this lawsuit, as the dems so often do. But Garland will surely seek an injunction against implementing the new statute in the 2022 election, and possibly the 2024 election. Why would Garland think to do this? Answer 1: to intimidate other legislatures from passing similar voting integrity laws, until this one is ruled on by the SCOTUS. Answer 2: This suit is surely being filed in one of the three federal district courts of Georgia. My bet is that it is being filed in the middle district court of Georgia where one of the four federal judges who may be appointed to hear the case is Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner--you guessed it, Stacey Abrams's sister. Gardner was appointed by Obama, as was the chief federal district court judge for the Middle District of Georgia, Judge Marc Thomas Treadwell. The remaining two judges are Republican-appointed judges, one appointed by Dubya Bush, the other by President Trump. This could be a long slog before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, also headquartered in Atlanta, decides this issue.

Give the ballot box another 30 days and, if no satisfaction, then it's time for the cartridge box
