Dispute with the GCPD over whether to make arrests
On March 8, two Glynn County commissioners, citing discussions with Glynn County police, accused Johnson, or her office, of preventing the McMichaels’ immediate arrest. Commissioner Allen Booker said: “The police at the scene went to her, saying they were ready to arrest both of them. These were the police at the scene who had done the investigation. She shut them down to protect her friend [Gregory] McMichael.” Commissioner Peter Murphy said that officers who responded at the scene had concluded that there was probable cause to make an arrest, but when they contacted Johnson’s office, they “were told not to make the arrest.”[70]
One count of Obstructing a Proceeding, or some shit. Fuck off law, utterly impotent. The second someone punches back even a little bit the system collapses. Just going through the motions so they can get back to padding their conviction records on the backs of indigent defendants.
Let’s give him his due. When it didn’t work, he had the courage to reject the short bus defense too.
Remington can subpoena report cards but Democrats can’t subpoena anyone.

The incumbent mayor of Buffalo - who lost the Dem primary to a progressive upstart - tried to start a new party or something and get on the ballot anyway. The board of elections rejected it because he was months late. Judge - Trump appointed, Federalist Society member - whose brother is a big donor to said incumbent mayor says nah, all good.
Question for the law bros. Can the DOJ do anything about this SD AG sentence? In an era of egregiousness this one takes the fucking cake.
Let’s check in on today’s 1/6 hearing.

I thought it was a “this did not age well” meme. It’s from yesterday, LOL.
It’s a pretty good critical site
If the upshot of all this were a regular run of uncritical term recaps, fine. But the unwillingness or inability to engage with the Court as it is, instead of what pundits imagine it to be, quietly carries water for a conservative legal movement that depends for its success on public acceptance of the fantasy of the objective, apolitical judiciary. This myopic focus on process over substance has serious consequences for how people understand and evaluate what the country’s nine most powerful lawyers are doing. In less than two decades, the Roberts Court has merrily set about the task of reshaping American life as it sees fit, eviscerating the power of labor unions, ushering in a new era in First Amendment law of quasi-official Christian supremacy, and reducing your right to vote to a pile of smoldering rubble. If your exposure to media coverage of the Court were limited to a quick scan of these headlines, though, you’d think the justices were getting along famously, and would have no reason to believe anything is amiss.
