Attorneys Qualifications Commission to

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a measure allowing the new Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission to start its work.
Senate Bill 332 allows the commission, created last year with Senate Bill 92, to adopt internal guidelines and rules. It also circumvents a November state Supreme Court administrative order that found approving the commission’s standards of conduct was outside its authority. “This legislation will help us ensure rogue or incompetent prosecutors are held accountable if they refuse to uphold the law,” Kemp, a Republican, said during a brief Wednesday press conference. “As we know all too well, crime has been on the rise across the country,

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a law Wednesday that lets a state commission begin operating with powers to discipline and remove prosecutors, potentially disrupting Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
“This legislation will help us ensure rogue and incompetent prosecutors are held accountable if they refuse to uphold the law,” Kemp said before signing the bill, flanked by Republican legislative leaders. “As we know all too well, crime has been on the rise across the country, and is especially prevalent in cities where prosecutors are giving criminals a free pass or failing to put them behind bars due to lack of professional conduct.”

Fulton FA Fani Willis from election indictment 6 replies
Friday is the close of a self-imposed two-week deadline set by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee for his consequential decision that could alter the course of Georgia’s historic election indictment. After weeks of testimony following the revelation of allegations that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was dating Nathan Wade, one of the case’s top prosecutors, McAfee will have to decide by close of business on Friday whether to remove Willis and Wade from the case. Attorneys for several defendants filed a motion in January alleging that Willis had been paying Wade while the two were dating and embarking on cruises and vacations together while prosecuting the case.
A Santa Rosa family of three -- including a 2-year-old child -- suffered only minor injuries after their small plane lost engine power and deployed an onboard parachute that floated the aircraft down into a remote part of Mendocino County last Friday. The Cirrus SR22 took off from Shelter Cove Airport in Humboldt County about 1 p.m. March 8, headed to Santa Rosa with two 38-year-old adults and the child on board, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office, which responded along with authorities from Humboldt County.
"At this point, the pilot deployed the airplane's Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) which slowed the airplane's descent,"

Next Tuesday’s primary election features a trio of men running for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. The winner goes on to the fall ballot to face Democrat Sherrod Brown, who’s been in the Senate since defeating now-governor Mike DeWine, then the Republican incumbent, in 2006. The candidates and their supporters are spending millions on ads. And the race has been moving. The latest Emerson College/The Hill poll shows a third lead change in four months. The three candidates sat down for interviews for the Statehouse News Bureau's weekly TV show "The State of Ohio". They were asked about about the issues, about former president Trump – who won Ohio
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed on Tuesday that conquering Rafah was essential to winning the war against Hamas. In a video address to the AIPAC conference in Washington, D.C., Netanyahu said, “To win this war, we must destroy the remaining Hamas battalions in Rafah. If not, Hamas will regroup, rearm and reconquer Gaza and then we’re back to square one. And that’s an intolerable threat that we cannot accept.” He then restated the three war goals set forth by the government “We will destroy Hamas, free our hostages and ensure that Gaza doesn’t ever pose a threat to Israel again.”
U.S. Rep. Ken Buck will leave Congress on March 22, the Windsor Republican announced Tuesday in a decision that’s sure to scramble the already highly contentious and competitive race to replace him that includes U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert. “It has been an honor to serve the people of Colorado’s 4th District in Congress for the past nine years,” Buck said he was leaving his seat “because I think there’s a job out there that I want to go do. “I think we need to change our electoral laws here and I have a passion for that and I am going to lead
Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., who frequently defied his own party and announced last fall he would not seek re-election, said Tuesday he will resign from Congress at the end of next week, further shrinking the GOP's already razor-thin majority. "Today I am announcing that I will depart Congress at the end of next week," Buck said in a statement. "I look forward to staying involved in our political process, as well as spending more time in Colorado and with my family."
His departure will cut the House Republican margin to 218-213; Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., will continue to have two votes to spare before needing Democrats to govern.

born in 21st century from buying tobacco products 22 replies
A Massachusetts town that adopted an unusual ordinance banning the sale of tobacco to anyone born in the 21st century is being looked at as a possible model for other cities and towns hoping to further clamp down on cigarettes and tobacco products. The bylaw — the first of its kind in the country — was adopted by Brookline in 2020 and last week was upheld by the state’s highest court, opening the door for other communities to adopt similar bans that will, decades from now, eventually bar all future generations from buying tobacco.

Pope Francis has said in an interview that Ukraine should have what he called the courage of the "white flag" and negotiate an end to the war with Russia that followed Moscow's full-scale invasion two years ago and that has killed tens of thousands.
Francis made his comments in an interview recorded last month with Swiss broadcaster RSI, well before Friday's latest offer by Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan to host a summit between Ukraine and Russia to end the war. Erdogan made the fresh offer after a meeting in Istanbul with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

McAfee Splits the Fani Baby?

Profiles in Courage, it ain't. (snip) So, if I have this right, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee decided to pull a James Comey, Robert Mueller, and Robert Hur:
Write a ruling saying Fani Willis and Nathan Wade are guilty as hell, have no ethics, and aren't good role models....BUT Fani can stay (snip) The problem with splitting the baby is that the baby dies. That seems to be what happened here in McAfee's attempt to be Solomonic. If he wanted Fani Willis to remain in charge of the case, he needed to exonerate her from all of these issues.

Vice President Kamala Harris made history when she became what is believed to be the first president or vice president to visit an abortion clinic on Thursday as the fight over abortion rights has been front and center since the overturning of Roe v Wade.
Harris met with abortion providers and staff at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Minneapolis, Minnesota as part of a nationwide tour she has been on after the landmark decision was struck down in 2022.

The Biden administration's student loan bankruptcy policy is making it easier for borrowers to walk away from their debt, experts say.
It was previously very difficult for Americans to part from their debt in court in a regular bankruptcy proceeding, but new rules are reportedly making this easier.
'We have gotten forgiveness for a number of clients under the new bankruptcy changes,' Malissa Giles, a consumer bankruptcy lawyer in Virginia, told CNBC.'The discharge is life changing for them and their families.'
At the end of 2022, a new process for discharging student debt in the event of bankruptcy was introduced by the Department of Justice and the Department of Education.
The Chinese operative, who was Rep. Eric Swalwell's (D-CA) personal companion and staffer, broke cover in an X-post of her sitting with a Global Times reporter nearly 10 years after her abrupt exit from the United States—shortly after the FBI warned Swalwell she was a foreign agent. “I had lunch with this lady today.
