The bill once signed will not take effect before the end of the year. Fani Willis will have proceeded with her case long before that. If they want to obviously interfere in the middle of a trial, let them.

Can you document that important distinction? A reporter for the Atlanta paper on Rachel tonight said it would be a matter only of two weeks or so before it woukd be effective? Many thanks for more information as this is very dangerous territory for our democracy to survive?

Every other report says it will be signed in a few weeks, but bills in Georgia once signed don't immediately become laws till the end of the term.

TC,

If Fani Willis is smart, she will drop the case against Trump.

She is a black woman in Georgia prosecuting one of the most popular white supremacists in history.

IF the state passes a law against arresting Trump and she goes ahead and arrests him anyway, regardless of the onset date, her life will be in constant danger.

Trump is not worth a dead Fani Willis TC.

тАЬAinтАЩt nobody here but us chickensтАЭ? As youтАЩve pointed out, (and where is Sandy Lewis?) black women are the strength in this battle. Willis is a woman of courage. Had others not preceded her sheтАЩd not hold the position she does. She does this for our daughters and our future.

Sandy Lewis, where are you? I've also noticed his absence, and missed his reminding, consistant, dedicated message. Dr. Richardson may be picking it up with a different style.

Liz, I was just thinking about him the other day. I miss his banter, however I don't miss his misogynistic views about Heather. Nope, not one bit.

I donтАЩt think sex colored his view, but that Heather was a budding curmudgeon.

He consistently referred to her education, her alleged "bias to history". It was a long list of BS that he would include in every god damn comment he made. He simply couldn't wrap his head around the fact that a woman could hold the academic license that she has.

Seen too many John Lewis, MLKтАЩs, Medgar Evers, etc to imagine Fani Willis acting like a lily livered white person

I disagree with you, Mike. Believe me, from Day One, Fani has herself surrounded by law enforcement she can trust. Her life has been threatened many times while she has been gathering evidence. These people canтАЩt stand the fact that sheтАЩs a very smart black woman in a powerful position that could bring their тАЬgodтАЭ down. A big FU would be if she could file a lawsuit against those members in the State and House legislatures who want her to quiver and squirm. Nothing like turnabout is fair play!
