Per Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs:
One of the most consequential #criminal cases in Atlanta’s history will be overseen by the #FultonCounty Superior Court #judge w/the least #judicial experience.
Judge Scott #McAfee was sworn in just over 6 months ago after being appointed by Gov #Kemp, making him the rookie of the bench. But he has significant #legal experience. He worked as a federal prosecutor in #Georgia & an asst DA prosecuting homicide cases in Fulton County.

“In my career I don’t remember ever seeing this degree of largesse given to anybody,” said Jeremy Fogel, a former federal judge who served for years on the judicial committee that reviews judges’ financial disclosures. “I think it’s unprecedented.”
Impeach him already. He's not a Justice, he's a pet of billionaires.

The fact that this pretrial #judicial circus 🎪 has gone on & on without meaningful consequences is an #indictment against our #corrupt #justice system itself.
So, someone please nudge me from my slumber 😴 should #Trump be #handcuffed & placed in #jail pending his #trial.
*deep sigh*
Long overdue.

While cameras are common in state & local #courtrooms, they are generally not allowed in #FederalCourtrooms. The #Judicial Conference of the United States, the policymaking body for the courts, has allowed some pilot programs in recent decades focused on civil cases. Lawmakers in both parties have unsuccessfully pushed legislation to allow more #transparency.
During the pandemic, court policies were loosened, w/some federal courts using Zoom for hearings & live-streaming audio of oral arguments.

Protests in Israel as parliament approves part of judicial overhaul
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKyGVV9Egys&ab_channel=AssociatedPress
Protesters are gathered outside Israel’s legislature as lawmakers approved a key part of a contentious legal overhaul spearheaded by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right allies.
The overhaul calls for sweeping changes aimed at curbing the powers of the judiciary, from limiting the Supreme Court’s ability to challenge parliamentary decisions, to changing the way judges are selected.
Critics say the legislation will concentrate power in the hands of Netanyahu and his far-right allies and undermine the country’s system of checks and balance.
