"We’re now all very familiar with the catastrophe that is Fulton County, Georgia’s attempt to prosecute Donald Trump on RICO charges."
"One of the benefits of our whole federal system, at least in theory, is that it provides some insulation from bad government. If your state is being run into the ground by incompetent politicians, then you can just move to another state. And if a local politician is doing a terrible job, then at least he’s not wrecking the rest of the country. The damage is contained.
"That’s the idea, anyway. And there are about a million reasons why that’s not true anymore. Exhibit A is the series of ongoing and deeply embarrassing disasters that are unfolding at the moment in Atlanta, Georgia and its surrounding metro area. There’s no other way to say this: Because the principles of federalism are no longer really operative, Atlanta’s dysfunction poses a direct threat to the entire country. You can’t get away from it simply by fleeing the state of Georgia. It’s all encompassing.

"We’re now all very familiar with the catastrophe that is Fulton County, Georgia’s attempt to prosecute Donald Trump on RICO charges. The lead prosecutor, Fani Willis, saw the trial as an opportunity to promote her boyfriend and shower him with taxpayer money, then she apparently lied about it to the court. She also tried to play the sassy woman when she testified about this conflict of interest, which somehow managed to lower public confidence in her office even further. That’s all well-documented.
"On top of that, just this week, former Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler asked why Fulton County officials are reportedly attempting to destroy 2020 election ballots before they can be inspected."
