Tuesday, January 9, 2024 - Today on 'Suits: Atlanta" ... Alleged Affairs & Hypothetical Murder Plots

Admittedly, with little else on but football, I've been binging 'Suits,' and I'm through seven full seasons - just the sort of prep I apparently needed for covering local, state & American politics, because - wow - the courtroom drama! So we have a Fani Willis affair allegation - from a Trump ally attorney - tying the Fulton D.A. to a special prosecutor who's not (yet) divorced. Then we have Trump's attorney being asked by a three-judge panel to explain his premise that Donald's immune from anything he did while in office because he wasn't found guilty in impeachment proceedings by the Senate and if that meant he could literally get away with having a political opponent murdered. I mean, doesn't this apply to the current President now, too, if this three-judge panel agrees? Make that make sense. Then there's the 'Curling v Raffensperger' case tied to the Coffee County election office breach and watching Trump acolytes trying hijack this case - with left-leaning plaintiffs - to distort its intent to fit their own "Big Lie' agenda. Breathtaking. Also of note today: Cobb Commissioner (for now) Jerica Richardson has decided she will run for the 6th Congressional seat also eyed by Rep. Lucy McBath who's hopping over now that her seat's constituency have been drawn elsewhere. Between the gerrymandering of the two state chambers, Congressional and Cobb County's commission maps (oh and don't forget that county's school board map), it's fair to ask: when will Democrats coalesce behind the very real, very fair message that "Republicans are attacking democracy and your right to elect politicians you want to represent you?"
