A state senator in Georgia is moving to impeach Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over the charges brought against former President Trump.
Georgia state Sen. Colton Moore is moving to impeach Willis, accusing the prosecutor of carrying out a political agenda against Trump.
“As a Georgia State Senator, I am officially calling for an emergency session to review the actions of Fani Willis,” Moore said on social media Thursday.
“America is under attack. I’m not going to sit back and watch as radical left prosecutors politically TARGET political opponents,” he added.
Moore also published a letter to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp to demand a special session be called to address “the actions of Fani Willis.”
“We, the undersigned, being duly elected members of the Georgia House of Representatives and Georgia Senate, and comprising 3/5 of each respective house, pursuant to Article IV, Section II, Paragraph VII(b), hereby certify to you, in writing, with a copy to the Secretary of State, that in our opinion an emergency exists in the affairs of the state, requiring a special session to be convened under that section, for all purposes, to include, without limitation, the review and response to the actions of Fani Willis.”

If they actually have 3/5 of both houses on board, that might be doable but they need 2/3 to convict.
Good news is, even if Kemp says no, the session starts nonetheless after a few days, though it doesn't actually give him a choice.
(b) The Governor shall convene the General Assembly in special session for all purposes whenever three-fifths of the members to which each house is entitled certify to the Governor in writing, with a copy to the Secretary of State, that in their opinion an emergency exists in the affairs of the state. The General Assembly may convene itself if, after receiving such certification, the Governor fails to do so within three days, excluding Sundays.
Dems need to understand.....Lawfare can cut both ways.
