āwe learned MondayĀ that the state appeals court has tentatively set an Oct. 4 hearing date on the defense attempt to remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from Trumpās state election interference case. The trial judge, Scott McAfee,Ā said in MarchĀ that Willis could stay on the case if her special prosecutor stepped down. The prosecutor, Nathan Wade, with whom Willis had a romantic relationship, did so. But the defense still appealed McAfeeās ruling, arguing that it hadnāt cured the alleged conflict of interest and that the case itself should be dismissed.ā
Edit No article on this part yet, but CNN has reported that the Georgia Appeals Court has halted this case until Fani Willisā position can be determined, and while the HEARING is set for October, the actual RULING might not happen until March, 2025.

Wow good thing thereās no point in time beyond which these court cases will just be summarily killed as a function of which way the election goes
internal screaming
POTUS canāt overturn state cases.
Sure, but if Trump manages to win somehow, I am 100% positive that heāll try to anyways, and he has a shitload of enablers who will follow his lead just because they like the idea of the First American Reich.
You arenāt getting it. The failure conditions of this next election is āwe get a different type of government, and itās not even remotely democratic, and likely doesnāt resemble our previous type of government much at allā.
