🚨BREAKING: A state judge ruled to hold the Fulton County, Georgia Board of Commissioners in civil contempt after two Democrats blocked the appointment of two Republican election deniers to the board of elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
“They’re election deniers and they’re doing everything they can to undermine faith in our elections.”
Right to contempt yet doj, etc flat ignore court order and crickets
Trump's company prepares to create a $6.3 billion reserve in crypto assets The reserve will consist of Cronos, the 23rd most valuable cryptocurrency in the world. And fuck the people.
So it’s a loss for the Dems, right? That’s NOT good, right??
It’s a nightmare to see the “justice system” enabling tyranny.
Seems they are in contempt...of election deniers.
Deniers mad about getting denied. Ooof.
Hang tough.
This ruling makes no sense.

Civil contempt is like j-walking now. The trump regime commits it on the federal level every goddamn day
Do we have to burn down Atlanta again?
We need this level of bravery.
👍🎉
Dox these judges. They need to be worried at all times.
Is that judge for real? Why would anyone appoint them to the board? They don't believe in the results of elections. Do you think the fire department would hire an arsonist?
Judge ordering people to vote a certain way is… well it’s something.
Ignore the ruling. It’s unjust.
So, they are required to accept unqualified appointments?
Election Deniers are a dangerous bunch and they should never-ever-ever! be allowed to serve anywhere near government. @democracyforward.org @democracydocket.com @marcelias.bsky.social @eliaslawgroup.bsky.social @aclu.org @acluofga.bsky.social

🤮
So much republican CLOWN theater! If Republicans spent 1/100 of their time listening to their constituents and trying to do good FOR the people, none of this would be happening. CHRIST ON A CRACKER! 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ stop kissing demented don’s taint and be HUMAN for once in your miserable lives!
What’s the point of the vote if they legally *have* to approve them? Can someone please explain?
So it's not only the SCOTUS judges who are in the bag for Trump.
State courts have long been subject to political influence. There’s also a number of federal courts with judicial hacks. Kazmaryck, Cannon, some of the DC Court of Appeals justices, fifth circuit (iirc), etc… garbage justices.
I mean... If you have a system in which judges are elected, politics is a guarantee guest to the table. Here in Canada there's a movement to go towards the same system, in which judges apply the law differently according to what party they belong, and if elections are close. No, thank you!
No country should adopt any part of the US systems of government. All the checks and balances that were supposed to protect us continue to fail us daily. All the guardrails are falling away as we careen towards an Authoritarian Oligarchy of Fascists completely hijacking our Democratic Republic.
For all the practically religious devotion Americans have for their constitution, it turns out it protects them not a jolt when bad players get in power. At least the UK doesn't pretend to have a constitution.
Fair statement. Obviously a country's constitution is only as strong as the integrity, decency and honor of its leaders to uphold its principles.
Some of the ones listed are appointments—I believe they are worse than the elected ones. Certainly, the Supreme Court conservatives are among them—all appointments. Cannon was appointed. How do you have judges without appointments or elections?
news.uoguelph.ca/2022/07/why-... This tries to explain why appointed judges in Canada are less political than their peers in the US. As far as I know, it's the same system in France as well, whereas in the US, the president doesn't seem to have to receive any input from the legal world.
Appreciate the attempt to enlighten me!
Sure, but do refer to the last bit of my "bio", though..!
Judge fines Earth society for blocking flat earthers from joining !! 🤣
These are not justices. I think this word gives them the honor they didn't deserve. They are merely political instruments.
We truly living in the upside down now

Sorry, I forgot what we were talking about
MAGA judges want chaos.
Wow! 😡
Good job democrats. Delay. Deny. Disagree.
Small elections matter. Maga started long before Trump.
> The Board of Commissioners was ordered to pay a fine of $10,000 a day, beginning Friday, until it appoints Julie Adams and Jason Frazier — the Fulton GOP’s nominees — to the county board of elections. < Maybe they can play by Trump Rules and run the “stay and appeal” ploy for 4 or 5 years.
If they can find judges who will play along...
I read your comment as judges who will “pay” along and I have to trust my brain’s Freudian filter this time.
What sense does make to have a vote if you don't have a choice?
So I guess democracy isn't a thing anymore?
WTH
Who pays the fine? Taxpayers?
Where do I contribute?
Did they break any law in denying the appointments? Are they not allowed to deny appointments? The two who were denied were "nominees." by definition, someone who is "nominated" must then be approved or not approved. So WTF?
What is the judges argument that they have to vote to approve them? I’ve read several articles about this but none have that.
🎯
Where were the other commissioners-why weren't they present to vote??
It’s not great, Marc.
I do not understand at all, if they are only allowed to vote one way, why have a vote at all? It's fucking meaningless at that point , right?
Since when is blocking appointments of known liars a contemptible act? Known liars according to how many court rulings on election integrity?
when facts became fake news
Where the hell were the other 3 democrats is what I want to know. Sounds like they could've easily rejected these idiots if the dems had decided to show up to their jobs. WTF?
