A Georgia judge has ruled against a preliminary challenge seeking to block a commission tasked with disciplining and removing state prosecutors. The Fulton County Superior Court Judge denied the injunction against Georgia’s Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission, finding that it does not violate the U.S. or state constitution.
The commission, revived by Republican lawmakers this year, has faced opposition from Democrats who fear it may interfere with the prosecution of former President Donald Trump by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. On the other hand, Republicans argue that the commission is necessary to address prosecutors who they deem as 'rogue' for not enforcing laws.
