Fani Willis In Hot Water Legally After Judge’s Ruling

She can appeal.
Nope. She has no grounds. The judgement was entered because she did not defend the suit.

  • (d)Motion to set aside.A motion to set aside may be brought to set aside a judgment based upon:
    • (1) Lack of jurisdiction over the person or the subject matter;
    • (2) Fraud, accident, or mistake or the acts of the adverse party unmixed with the negligence or fault of the movant; or
    • (3) A nonamendable defect which appears upon the face of the record or pleadings. Under this paragraph, it is not sufficient that the complaint or other pleading fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, but the pleadings must affirmatively show no claim in fact existed.

 
But do supporters of the Orange Hitler deserve empathy?

Should Trump supporters just be shot? Imprisoned and killed?

The law disagrees with your interpretation.

Then post it. Georgia law.

I interpreted nothing. I posted the GA rule of civil procedure that governs- i.e, to contest a judgement in a civil court, you must file a motion to set it aside. It has to be filed in the court that made the judgement, and there are only 3 reasons that such a motion can be filed.

Failure to answer the suit is not one of the grounds to contest a judgement.

The date of the default is not the date of the judge's order. It is 30 days after the suit is filed. She had 15 days after that date to open the default, and she did not do it. Read the judge's ruling.

You don't get to default on a suit, and then some months later just say "Oh, I changed my mind, now I want to answer the suit", because you don't like the judge's ruling. That ain't how it works.

The judge's final order gave her until yesterday to produce, and if she didn't produce, she is in contempt.
