“we learned Monday 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 Trump’s state election interference case. The trial judge, Scott McAfee, said in March 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 McAfee’s ruling, arguing that it hadn’t cured the alleged conflict of interest and that the case itself should be dismissed.”
Edit No article on this part yet, but CNN has reported that the Georgia Appeals Court has halted this case until Fani Willis’ position can be determined, and while the HEARING is set for October, the actual RULING might not happen until March, 2025.

Wow good thing there’s 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 can’t overturn state cases.
Sure, but if Trump manages to win somehow, I am 100% positive that he’ll 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 aren’t getting it. The failure conditions of this next election is “we get a different type of government, and it’s not even remotely democratic, and likely doesn’t resemble our previous type of government much at all”.
