  • A Changed View: Willis, A Judicial Einstein!

    Sometimes, with new knowledge, we change our view,

    Led to believe, Fani Willis, a crook, and dumb too!

    Watching her testify to the local Atlanta political crew!

    She’s so smart, opponents sometimes, without a clue!

    Fast responses, using Racism, at a momentary squeak,

    Tested Criminal insights, plus, being fast on her feet,

    Is this “Crook” aspect, skillfully hidden, to prevent leaks?

    An experienced lawyer, Willis, serious criminals should seek!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DNC passed on Atlanta; ICE accuses lawmakers; Rick Jackson addresses affordabilty
Q: How might this change affect appellants and the speed of decisions?
While deadlines remain two-term-rule constraints, increased workload could strain the Court of Appeals; practical implications include ensuring timely decisions without compromising the quality of legal analysis.
DNC passed on Atlanta; ICE accuses lawmakers; Rick Jackson addresses affordabilty
Q: Why is the Georgia Supreme Court moving murder appeals to the Court of Appeals now?
The judge's concurring opinion signals a long-held goal to restructure jurisdiction; it's framed as managing workload and ensuring justice while recognizing the Court of Appeals needs more judges to handle increased murder-appeal cases.
Data centers; Quadruple homicide; More officers accused of misusing Flock
Q: Why is there such a difference between your numbers and the numbers quoted by Georgia Power's CEO?
The discrepancy arises because only a fraction of proposed data centers have disclosed their power needs, while more have disclosed square footage, which can be used to estimate power; when calculated this way, the numbers align more closely but remain uncertain due to incomplete data.
Data centers; Quadruple homicide; More officers accused of misusing Flock
Q: What's your bottom line estimate of how much electricity data centers may be seeking in Georgia versus how much the state has on offer?
The expert estimate ranges from about 29 gigawatts to 58 gigawatts, reflecting uncertainty but showing a potential demand well above conservative figures due to the rapid expansion of AI hyperscale facilities.
Colin Gray sentenced; GOP senate candidate faces questions; Women's pro baseball
Q: Ashton, welcome to the program. What does it mean for you to be a part of this new iteration of the game?
It means everything; I dreamed of playing baseball since four years old, faced barriers, and now this league provides a platform to compete at the highest level while staying true to the game I love.
