TL;DR Summary

The Georgia House passed a bill to revive a commission with powers to discipline and remove prosecutors, prompting Democratic warnings of targeting Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is prosecuting former President Donald Trump. The bill, which removes the requirement for Supreme Court approval, has sparked intense partisan debate, with Republicans arguing for accountability and Democrats accusing them of trying to protect Trump and override the will of Democratic voters. The measure also faces allegations of personal benefit and racism, with Kemp preferring the oversight panel to probe any misconduct accusations against Willis, while Democrats express concerns about the lack of oversight for the commission. This move is part of a broader trend of Republican attempts to control prosecutors nationwide.
