🚨BREAKING: A Fulton County judge has temporarily paused his own contempt order that would have fined the county commission $10,000 per day for refusing to seat two election-denying Republican nominees to the county’s Board of Elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
I guess he figured out he looked pretty stupid for fining representatives based on how they vote in their official capacity
No good
If you're an election denier, why would you participate in one? Duh.
To make sure only your team wins.
Because THEY must cheat and lie to win
Can you explain please?
Is this Fulton County judge becoming sane and thinking about the law relative to the common good?
I wonder what your theory is to why; in due time you'll share your thoughts with us.
Does anyone know how to do their fucking jobs right anymore, the first time around

A step in the right direction!
Common sense kicked in.
He had to because there’s an appeal
Now I'm confused.
The fine was withheld while the appeal of his order is decided. He’s an activist judge (using maga lingo).
👀
This is co funsusing
Corruption everywhere
“That means the fines —set to begin Friday — will not take effect while the appeal is considered. However, the underlying requirement to appoint the GOP nominees remains in place” Seems like the judge is siding with fascists. Why are they required to hire on 2 unqualified election denying assholes.
after this republican better not be in power in the house senate or presidency for decades after all they caused and continue to.
Doesn’t Georgia law require the pause because the appeal was filed? This isn’t a win, just a procedural process in the works…Right?
That’s what it seems like to me.
Different levels of law enforcement are seeming to have different levels of government responsibility/priorities. Can you offer specifics to clarify the rhetoric?
Good question. I wasn’t commenting on law enforcement per se, but on judicial procedure, specifically, how Georgia law mandates a pause when an appeal is filed. So the judge’s action isn’t discretionary or ideological; it’s legally automatic. 1/4
That said, I do think it’s worth examining how different branches of government interpret their responsibilities. The commission’s refusal to seat nominees, despite a court order, raises questions about institutional defiance and selective accountability. 2/4
Defiance here isn’t about optics, it’s about survival. When compliance risks institutional harm, resistance becomes necessary. We’ve seen this before: the Supreme Court allowed board member terminations to proceed without first ruling on their legality. 3/4
That kind of procedural delay can have irreversible consequences. 4/4
This is incredible news! Thank you for your never ending fight for America's democracy!
this is such BS. Don't seat them.
… I think it means any delay is good for the good guys?
The Republican Party has lost its collective mind.

I’ll be adopting the first one.
But the underlying requirement to appoint the GOP nominees "remains in place” WTAF???
Pending appeal
