"As of Friday, Georgia will no longer cater to "far-left prosecutors" who are soft on crime, after Republican Governor Brian Kemp signed a bill into law establishing the Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission (PACQ), part of a broader GOP thrust to get tougher on crime and make communities safer, the Epoch Times reports.
"My No. 1 priority is public safety across our state," said Kemp, whose office described the commission as a "valuable oversight mechanism" that ensures the duties of state officials are fulfilled.
The Commission will be comprised of eight members, six of whom will be current or former prosecutors, and two other lawyers, who will oversee district attorneys and solicitors general.
"The creation of the PACQ will help hold prosecutors driven by out-of-touch politics than commitment to their responsibilities accountable and make our communities safer," said Kemp.
The new commission has the authority to investigate alleged misconduct by district attorneys and solicitors-general and discipline or remove them entirely if they meet the conditions for removal, which include “willful and persistent failure to carry out statutory duties” and conduct that is “prejudicial to the administration of justice.”
Republicans across the country have pushed measures to rein in progressive prosecutors who they see as being soft on criminals by declining to prosecute certain crimes. -Epoch Times
"As hardworking law enforcement officers routinely put their lives on the line to investigate, confront, and arrest criminal offenders, I won’t stand idly by as they’re met with resistance from rogue or incompetent prosecutors who refuse to uphold the law,”" said Kemp."

OTOH, Georgia's leftists also have a grand jury hand picked to accuse innocent Trump of things the leftists did.
Politicians are sociopath slime everywhere.
This is similar to foreigners blaming Americans for the irrational war-like actions done by DC politicians controlled by the deep state. NIFO.
1) The Founding Fathers attempted to lay the corner stone of a justice system, but what we have today is a legal system and the two are not the same.
2) A standing joke I've heard in the past regarding legislators is if two bills come up for a vote addressing the same item, which one passes? Answer: The one that generates the most revenue for lawyers (and politicians, who are mainly lawyers).
What Georgia has just done is passed a law that will generate revenue for taxpayer funded lawyers to sue other taxpayer funded lawyers who will receive more taxpayer revenue to pay for their defense. This is the legal system enriching itself while pretending to actually do something that needs to be done. The oaths of office are simply formalities left over from a time of a possible justice system and are now just white wash on the legal system underneath. We'll see what happens in Georgia.
The abstaining spoke more about the entire situation than a simple NO vote would have. And frankly seemed to frighten the Unionists worse. Also caused the UK to become embroiled in the conflict. To the point that London dissolved self governance for Northen Ireland. Vis a vis Stormont.
As it becomes more apparent that “voting” doesn’t matter anymore conservatives should consider this strategy. They will literally have NOTHING to lose.
We are regressing into a more primitive stage of political diplomacy.
they are also guilty of conspiracy to commit the crimes the people they let out commit
they have no good faith attempt to stop those crimes to mitigate/eliminate their guilt
That includes George Soros, who should also be charged with treason.
Vote HARDER!
Let’s lend credibility to the systems and institutions that have failed us time and time again.
That’ll show em’!
It’s the American Way!
they are NOT people struggling to cope with areas where crime has become rampart
those we can understand how they might be swamped and need help to cope
they are the CAUSE of rampart crime, doing so on purpose, doing so for their own political purposes, to help destroy the United States
and idiots keep voting them in
skin color and more free stuff
The sheep don’t actually do any work. They don’t care how much harder it’s getting for the farmer to support them. Because the sheep don’t have a clear understanding of the relationship.
But I won't be convinced he's dead until I see his decaying old corpse riddled with silver bullets, a wooden stake fashioned into a sign of the cross driven into his chest and have proof his head was separated from his body and buried five thousand miles away with a brick shoved in his mouth.
