Down in Georgia this coming October the Prosecuting Attorney Qualifications Commission will convene for the very first time. The commission was created by an act of the Georgia state legislature. The measure was signed into law by republican Governor, Brian Kemp. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution the commission is empowered to, "Sanction, or oust prosecutors found to be neglecting their duties, or responsible for an array of other violations."
That, "array of other violations,: caused a problem for democrats in the legislature during the debate over the commission's establishment. As did the sneaking suspicion the commission was being set up mainly because Fulton County DA, Fani Willis was investigating one Donald John Trump, among others, for attempting to overturn the 2020 Georgia's election results. Many democrats pointed out the legislature already had the power to impeach DAs. However, supporters of the bill claimed the power of impeachment wasn't enough, it didn't have enough teeth, and was too slow of a procedure.
That's right, baby. If she indicts the chosen one we need to move quickly. Don't let the democrats bog us down with debates and rules. Nip it in the bud. As Hunter Thompson used to say, "Cut off the head and the body will die.'
Yesterday state senator Clint Dixon issued a statement which said that as soon as the Prosecuting Attorney Qualifications Committee goes into session he will file a complaint against Fani Willis. He was inspired to file the complaint, he told the Journal-Constitution because of Willis', "unabashed goal to become some sort of leftist celebrity."
Dixon wrote on social media, "Once the Prosecutorial Oversight Committee is appointed in October, we can have them investigate and take action against Fani Willis and her efforts to weaponize the justice system against political opponents. This is our best measure and I will be ready to call for that investigation."
In other words, Don't worry Don, we'll stop her before you ever get to court.
It would seem the democrat's suspicions were well funded. The republicans in Georgia are now trying to do exactly what everyone predicted they would when the motion was still pending. The words legislative overreach has yet to come up, although they should.
As should the term, blatant political power grab.
Trump has said he will show up at the notorious Fulton County jail to be booked on Thursday. Since the jail is open for bookings 24-7 at least one NSNBC analyst is predicting he will arrive there the night of the republican debate in order to steal coverage from it. It wouldn't surprise anyone if he did something like that. The man just can't stand it when he isn't the center of attention. Personally I have my doubts though. Knowing Trump he will want a crowd outside cheering for him. After all, when you disappear into a dank dungeon rife with body lice and buggery, even for less than an hour, morale is everything.
Until that unknown and inauspicious date does arrive what we do know for sure is that Donald Trump will get booked. That goes for the 18 indicted con-conspirators also. We also know if Trump, or any of the rest fail to surrender themselves by noon Atlanta time on Friday warrants will be issued for their arrests.
And finally we know with absolute certainty is there isn't a thing the former president, Clint Dixon, or some two bit committee of right wing hit men can do about it.
It is the law.

It turned into a circus, as we thought it would.
