Federal court rules a fundraising advantage for Burt Jones is likely illegal. Ruling says leadership committee supporting lieutenant governor’s campaign for governor gave him unfair advantage.

The move could void the result of the nonpartisan election that Whitaker, a judge since 2017, narrowly lost to judicial newcomer Nikia Smith Sellers, a prosecutor in the office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

We know you have a lot on your plate, so this is coming from a place of support...
Use 'Scot-free' instead of 'Scotch-free.'
Use ‘shoo-in’ instead of ‘shoe-in.’
Use ‘piqued my interest’ instead of ‘peaked my interest.’
Use ‘case in point’ instead of ‘case and point.’

Relying on the Court's decision in Callais and its gutting of Section 2 of the VRA, the OLC released a memo declaring unconstitutional the EEOC's interpretive rules and guidance documents governing Title VII's disparate-impact provisions. Here's my take:

Todd Gilbert, the former Republican Speaker of the Virginia House, took a U.S. Attorney job from Trump and quit 37 days later. His only public comment was a "boy, that escalated quickly" meme.
Today, we learned why. He wouldn't manufacture the charges. Genuine courage, and rarer in his party than it should be.
ALT FBI Director Kash Patel stands in a crowd of men in suits, looking off to the side with a flat expression, an FBI badge pinned to the lapel of his blue jacket. Foreground figures are blurred. Overlaid text reads: "How the Drive to Find a Conspiracy Against Trump Rocked the Justice Dept."

Cosign.
Judges & lawyers must be able to carry out their duties without fear, and when they are threatened or intimidated for doing so, it strikes at the foundation of our system of impartial justice. Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law condemns all such attacks.

Harsh, but fair.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is the crown jewel of the Civil Rights Movement.
People literally died fighting for it.
Trump's Supreme Court is playing with the blood of our ancestors.

Voting is a fundamental right because it is preservative of all other rights.
Louisiana v. Callais is more than a voting rights case, it is about the access of Black students to an excellent public education. When Black communities lose representation, they also lose power over the systems and schools serving their children.

🚨RECOUNT ORDERED:
Important Election Update for Georgia Voters & County Officials 🚨
The Georgia Secretary of State’s Office has officially ordered a recount in the Republican PSC District 3 General Primary.
Candidate Brandon Martin requested the recount, and because the margin of victory was less than one-half of one percent, it is being conducted pursuant to O.C.G.A. 21-2-495(c)(1).
With advance voting already underway for the June 16th General Primary and Nonpartisan General Election runoffs, counties are strongly encouraged to begin the recount as soon as possible after certifying the runoffs. All counties must complete the recount no later than 5:00 PM on Friday, June 26th.
Full official announcement from State Elections Director Blake Evans attached. Stay informed!

There is a GA statewide recount in the PSC narrow margin race.
I hope that candidates will demand that GA recount law be obeyed and recount is manual, not machine count.
Counties don't like to do manual recounts, but that is right way to do it, and what GA law requires. 1/

The Society for the Rule of Law has filed an amicus brief in United States v. Southern Poverty Law Center.
Many of our members have strongly disagreed with the SPLC’s rhetoric, tactics, and ideological positions. But the rule of law does not depend on whether we agree with a defendant.
If prosecutorial power is being used for political retaliation rather than legitimate law enforcement purposes, courts have an obligation to examine those concerns. Our brief urges the court to permit discovery or an evidentiary hearing to determine whether these charges are grounded in law and evidence.
Constitutional protections belong to everyone—not just those with whom we agree.

It's harder to disparage a colleague when you've shared experiences and broken bread together.
BPC's American Congressional Exchange brings members of Congress across the aisle—literally. In 7 years: 54 trips, 64 members, and 5 bills signed into law.
Research backs it up: travel builds the relationships that make bipartisan legislating possible.

Georgia political leaders from both parties used a questionable state law to raise $6.7 million this year to position themselves and their allies to win statewide races.
