ATL lawyers lead the way to defend visa-revoked students & unleashing a new utility watchdog

Atlanta-based immigration law firm Kuck & Baxter have stepped up to take on a "mass action" suit on behalf of more than 130 international students whose student visas have suddenly (and in many cases, inexplicably) revoked for flimsy causes (if any cause(s) even exist). On today to discuss his firm's work and what his clients are dealing with, Dustin Baster from Kuck & Baxter. ------I'll weigh in more tomorrow on Marjorie Taylor Greene's dumpster-fire of a "town hall" (air quotes) tomorrow, but suffice to say, a "town hall," by definition, it was not, and because attendees came for a legitimate "town hall" only to wind up at a political MAGA infomercial, someone naturally had to be tased, right?Not to be "out-fascisted," the City Schools of Decatur board took umbrage with an attendee calling them "cowards" so those thin-skinned public servants had her physically removed, too. These were people who largely agree with the attendee, in principle, but "how dare she speak ill of them, flexing her First Amendment rights in their presence," right? ------My second guest today was Patty Durand, once a Georgia public service commission (PSC) candidate, now head of Georgia Utility Watch, a consumer utility watchdog ready to be a thorn in the rubber stamp-wielding PSC and the profiting utility providers said commission has been doing the bidding of. With two PSC seats up for grabs in an election "off-year" and with consumers searing mad about untenable cost-of-living increases, might this be a rare occasion for such usually down-ballot races to get the attention needed? Patty and I seem to think so - and it goes beyond the wallet. Cost overruns at Plant Vogtle were costly - which Georgia Power made you pay for; they'll seek to have you absorb 'em for post-'Helene' efforts, too, and since the General Assembly didn't directly address it, you will likely be on the hook for for-profit data center energy needs as well.Enter the watchdog.
