Reformist DAs Challenge Georgia's Law Targeting Elected Prosecutors Investigating Trump
TL;DR Summary
Four elected prosecutors in Georgia have filed a lawsuit against the state to challenge a new law that allows appointees of the Republican governor to remove elected district attorneys from office. The law is part of a trend of preemption measures introduced in multiple states to limit the power of elected prosecutors, particularly those who are reform-minded. Critics argue that these laws undermine the will of the voters and concentrate power in the hands of state governments. The lawsuit in Georgia seeks to restore power to elected prosecutors and have the new law declared unconstitutional.
