The Wheels of Justice



A federal judge today ruled that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp must answer questions about minority voter registration and Kemp's oversight of investigations into last year’s gubernatorial election.  The questioning is related to a lawsuit filed by Fair Fight Action, a group founded by allies of  Democrat Stacey Abrams, Kemp’s opponent in last year's election.

As secretary of state, Kemp was Georgia’s chief elections official until he resigned after Election Day.The lawsuit is asking the courts to intervene in Georgia’s elections following voter purges, absentee ballot cancellations, precinct closures, and other allegations of obstacles to voting. 

Oh, and the United States Congress presented articles of impeachment today against the so-called president.  This is only the third time in this nation's history that articles of impeachment were formally unveiled.

The wheels of justice turn slowly and sometimes the machinery seems unnecessarily baroque and  slow,  but no one is above the law and eventually everyone has to answer for their actions.
