Atlanta's WXIA-TV, 11 Alive, broke the story late last week: a Georgia woman, brain-dead since February, has been kept alive for more than 90 days because Emory Hospital lawyers advised the hospital against ending life support because of an early pregnancy. Now, her family's gripped in perpetual mourning while also awaiting the birth of what could likely be a child with immense medial woes of its own. It leaves Georgia politicians, left and right, finger-pointing. State Senator Nabila Islam-Parkes penned a letter to Attorney General Chris Carr (running for the GOP nomination for governor, as well) to answer questions and provide clarity on the state's position on such a situation. Carr, for his part, said of the draconian six-week Georgia abortion ban, put in place by his party in 2019, that “removing life support is not an action ‘with the purpose to terminate a pregnancy.'” That statement could prove interesting in the upcoming primary, but in the meanwhile, a grieving family is left without input at all. Joining me today to discuss this matter is Georgia WIN List executive director Melita Easters. ------The impacts Thomasville, Georgia residents have endured thanks to decades of air and pollution by nearby manufacturing isn't lost on Senator Jon Ossoff, who skewered Trump EPA administrator Lee Zeldin last week as to why his administration eliminated funding for a health clinic slated for that cancer-riddled community in southwest Georgia. Ossoff wasn't alone, and the ripping didn't just come from Democrats. ------Over the weekend we learned of former President Joe Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis, and WUSA-9 TV in D.C. sought input from an oncologist to give her optimistic outlook. That didn't stop the current President's son from launching into more conspiracy theories of cover-up, of course, but, by and large, even POTUS and the usually repugnant Marjorie Taylor Greene wish him well.

Georgia's AG Chris Carr stopped by the studio Thursday to chat with Austin.

This week - and for the foreseeable future anyway - residential real estate agents & REALTORS will be altering the way they do business. CNBC's Diana Click explained why earlier this year, and a Chicago TV sit-down with a closing attorney and broker/agent sort of gives you a proper sense where (and why) the industry's changing. Did I mention I'm a residential REALTOR? Well I am, and I'm only too eager to share my audible eye-rolling over all of this. Then, the opinions abound in the aftermath of Georgia school superintendent Richard Woods' stumbling, fumbling and bumbling through defunding AP African American studies before being called out by those in his own party and eventually set straight by Attorney General Chris Carr. Well, Woods relented, but in the aftermath of that, the AJC offered up opinions from a former Jasper County Republican leader who opines "Racism is not dead," Maureen Downey weighing in on how the same party's 'divisive concepts' law is at the heart of the attempt to defund the curriculum, and historian Clennon L. King on black society's role in teaching their history to their children. I don't disagree, but I also do, sort of.

In this episode of American Potential, host Jeff Crank sits down with Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr to discuss the critical fight against federal government overreach and the vital role states play in defending federalism. Carr shares his experiences leading numerous lawsuits against the Biden administration, focusing on the importance of challenging unconstitutional executive actions and preserving states' rights. The conversation also covers effective strategies for lowering crime rates without overcriminalization. Drawing from his experience under two different governors, Carr outlines how to balance public safety with meaningful criminal justice reform. Tune in to learn how Attorney General Carr is at the forefront of protecting individual freedoms, reducing crime, and upholding the constitutional balance of power in America.

The podcast welcomes Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr. The hosts ask Carr why he joined other Republican attorneys general in signing on to a multistate lawsuit challenging President Joe Biden's new student loan forgiveness plan. He said the matter should be up to Congress to decide.     Carr also told the hosts that the state has looked into whether charges should be brought against any individuals who worked to overturn the results of the 2020 election and decided there were no grounds for bringing state charges against anyone.     But first, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene may be pulling back from her threat to call for the ouster of House Speaker Mike Johnson, even as Johnson says he plans to call for military aid packages for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan. But as the hosts were recording the podcast, Greene gained an ally: Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie said he, too, wants Johnson out as speaker.     And the hosts discuss the possible impact former President Donald Trump's trial in New York could have on District Attorney Fani Willis' Fulton County election conspiracy case.      Links to topics     Carr signs on to challenge to Biden student loan plan  What to know about Biden student loan forgiveness plan  House speaker pushes for vote on aid for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan   Is Greene rethinking call to oust Speaker Mike Jonson  Could Trump New York trial impact Fulton County election conspiracy case?       Have a question or comment for the show?

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the outspoken Republican representative from Georgia, recently voiced critical sentiments towards Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, in light of recent reports suggesting an inappropriate relationship with a key prosecutor. Greene, communicating to Breitbart News, was effortlessly candid about the report, which suggests that Willis had been involved romantically with Nathan Hale, a prosecutor she herself hired to assist in the case against former President Donald Trump. Documents submitted in court last week hinted at the romantic involvement between Willis and Hale, a revelation that seemed to bypass Willis's stern assertions that such connections had no impact on her duties or prosecution relating to the Trump case. This involves numerous individuals implicated in alleged state RICO violations following the contentious 2020 election. Greene firmly spoke her mind with respect to Willis maintaining her current position, 'Absolutely, she should step down.' Greene didn't hold back her clear skepticism, saying, 'She should be absolutely ashamed of herself.' She was referring to Willis's alleged misconduct, including engaging in an improper relationship and misusing public funds. To oversee this issue, an investigation has been ordered by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, as reported by The Washington Post. Greene expressed her eagerness to see a thorough exploration of the issue, indicating, 'There's so much evidence coming out. I would love to see a criminal investigation. That's what should be happening here, in the state of Georgia, against Fani Willis,' This led her to appeal to Gov. Kemp, and Attorney General Chris Carr to initiate a criminal investigation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast Tia Mitchell, Patricia Murphy, Greg Bluestein and Bill Nigut start off today's podcast with a look at a disturbing display of antisemitism in Cobb County over the weekend. A white supremacist hate group projected a message praising Hitler on an overpass on I-75 in Cobb County. The group that used a laser projector to display the message has also been responsible for spreading antisemitic flyers in the front yards of suburban Atlanta neighborhoods. Attorney General Chris Carr quickly condemned the organization's messaging, and State Rep. Esther Panitch, who sponsored legislation to define antisemitism as a hate crime called for the legislature to take action to pass measures that will stop the hate campaigns. Then, Governor Kemp sings former Vice President Mike Pence's praises after Pence drops out of the GOP presidential race. Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy suggest that “in an alternative universe” had Pence been successful in his bid, Governor Kemp could have become Pence's VP candidate because the two are so close personally, and Pence has been one of Kemp's top supporters. Meanwhile, Georgia Democrats shrug at the entry of Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips into the Democratic primary race against President Biden.

The end of the eviction moratorium and federal rental aid further strained tenants. Families are forced into difficult decisions, living in subpar conditions or paying unaffordable rents. Advocacy groups are seeking solutions, including lifting the rent control ban and creating affordable housing initiatives. Local officials are also taking steps to address the housing shortage.   Story 6: state   The State Transportation Board of Georgia has announced its new executive leadership team.

However, an incident in 2018 involving County Commissioner John Hayes and McCoy during an educational field trip resulted in controversy. McCoy filed a lawsuit against the county, claiming a hostile work environment, which was settled out of court. Other incidents involving the commissioners' actions and expenses have also emerged. These incidents have led to speculation about the true reasons behind McCoy's dismissal. Attorney General Chris Carr's office has asked for an explanation from the County Attorney, and is looking closer at this case.   Story 6: cannabis   Trulieve Cannabis Corp., a medical cannabis dispensary, has introduced fast-acting nasal spray products to its lineup.

The McEachern girls dominated the first half, then fought off a strong comeback by Campbell in the second to take a 50-47 victory over their longtime county rivals in the second round of the Class AAAAAAA state basketball tournament at Lovinggood Arena on Saturday. It was all McEachern in the first half as it led 30-15 at halftime, but Campbell outscored the Indians 32-20 in the second half to narrow the margin. With the win, McEachern advanced to the state quarterfinals for the 10th time in 13 years. The Indians will host Central Gwinnett in the state quarterfinals Wednesday at 6 p.m. The McEachern boys earned its seventh state quarterfinal appearance in eight years with a resounding 88-51 victory over Westlake in the second round of the Class AAAAAAA state tournament at Lovinggood Arena on Saturday. With the win, McEachern will now host county rival Wheeler in a quarterfinal showdown between the top two ranked teams in the state in the ScoreAtlanta pre-tournament Class 7 A  boys' state rankings – with the Wildcats ranked Number 1 and the Indians Number 2. That game is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. tip-off on Wednesday. The Black History Month dinner hosted by the city of Smyrna, called off multiple times in recent years because of the pandemic, convened Friday evening at the Smyrna recreation center. More than 150 people were eager to listen to the night's keynote speaker, Erica Armstrong Dunbar, author of “She Came to Slay: The Life and Times of Harriet Tubman.” Councilman Lewis Wheaton welcomed and thanked the guests for coming, reminding them that the proceeds from the evening would benefit the foundations for Griffin and Campbell middle schools, before introducing Dunbar to loud applause. Dunbar's goal was to reintroduce people to Harriet Tubman. Tubman is best known as the most famous conductor of the Underground Railroad — a network of secret routes slaves used during the 1800s to escape to freedom. Tubman would make the journey to lead people out of enslavement at least 13 times. Dunbar discussed how the Black Lives Matter movement reminds Americans of the people and names who have been and continue to be lost to violence, adding that social reform is an ongoing process. With her book, Dunbar said she was trying to tell the story of a complex woman who dedicated her life to social justice, and how her influence still inspires new generations. After the presentation, a long line formed to get books autographed by the author, particularly some young readers, who remarked that they really loved hearing about Harriet Tubman. Several hundred people ran full tilt into Lake Acworth on Saturday — some of them in costume. The brisk excursion was part of the “Polar Plunge,” an annual national fundraiser for the Special Olympics. The money will help run and sponsor athletes for the state's Special Olympics, which will be at Emory University in May. The event was jointly organized by the Special Olympics of Georgia and Law Enforcement Torch Run, a long-running campaign among law enforcement professionals who support the Special Olympics. Several local law enforcement agencies raised money and submerged officers and staff, including the Kennesaw and Acworth police departments, and the Cobb County Sheriff's Department, the latter of which won the costume contest by riding into the lake on toy horses. The water temperature inside the lake was estimated to be in the upper 50s. Matthew Wynne, a Special Olympics athlete who grew up in Alpharetta, said the cold water is part of what makes the event fun, and he wouldn't have minded if the water had been more frigid. Georgia Milton-Sheats, CEO of Special Olympics Georgia since 1999, ran into the lake alongside other Special Olympics organizers. She said almost 500 people raised money and registered for the plunge, and the event raised more than $230,000.  State Senator Ed Setzler, filed legislation this week to reimpose Republicans' county commission district map on the Cobb Board of Commissioners. Senate Bill 236 mirrors the map passed last year by the General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp, which drew Democratic Commissioner Jerica Richardson out of her seat. The proposal comes after Setzler filed a bill — SB 124 — explicitly prohibiting Georgia counties from drawing their own district lines, which the commission's Democrats have been working to do since October. If passed, the tandem bills could overrule the Democrats' “home rule” effort designed to amend the district lines and keep Richardson in office. Though Republican officials, including Attorney General Chris Carr, have said the home rule bid is unconstitutional, Richardson and her two Democratic colleagues on the Cobb Board of Commissioners maintain the effort is legal. Richardson said were the legislation to be passed, it would end her tenure on the board. East Cobb resident Larry Savage, meanwhile, challenged the constitutionality of the home rule effort in a lawsuit filed just before the new year. That lawsuit was later withdrawn, with Savage saying a follow-up suit was forthcoming. That suit, however, has yet to materialize. Savage last said he was working with a new attorney but did not respond to a request for comment this week. Andrew Young Jr., former ambassador to the United Nations, former congressman, past mayor of Atlanta and civil rights icon, will be the keynote speaker at the Georgia Symphony Orchestra's annual Celebrity Luncheon fundraiser. The event will take place March 18 from noon to 3 p.m. at the Marietta Country Club. Ambassador Young will be joined by a group of local artists, authors, musicians and business leaders. Proceeds from the event will benefit the GSO's musical performance, youth education and outreach programs. Not only are guests certain to be inspired by Ambassador Young, but they also will select to be seated at a table with one of a carefully curated collection of influential and creative area personalities to learn more about them. A specially created three-course menu will be prepared by Gary Sanderson, Marietta Country Club executive chef, and his team. The event also will provide a fantastic opportunity for guests to indulge themselves from among an array of silent and live auction goods, such as rare trinkets and tidbits, fine art and everyday splurges. On March 11, Cobb County will be well represented in the 139th Atlanta St. Patrick's Parade as it marches down Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta. Ten local groups will participate in one the largest St. Patrick's parades in the Southeast, which draws hundreds of parade watchers from around the region. The parade will begin at noon at the intersection of Peachtree Street and 15th Street and will continue down Peachtree to 5th Street, concluding at 1:30 p.m. The Cobb County Groups are: - the 116th Army Band,  Artz for the Harp, Atlanta Freedom Band, Atlanta Gaelic Athletic Association, Cosplay Volunteers of Atlanta, DREAM Dachshund Rescue, Firefighters Emerald Society of Metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia Smoke Diver Association, MIB DragonCon Parade Crew and Twilight Twirlers of Marietta #CobbCounty #Marietta #LocalNews -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com              See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Wednesday August 17th, 2022 While Jill Biden is on her second round of COVID, Joe just got done with his, and Quadruple vaccinated U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin infected with COVID for the second time this year. A new Icelandic study shows COVID reinfection rate rises with number of vaccine doses. The study shows that for most age groups, those who have received two doses or more are more likely to become reinfected than those who have received no vaccination or one dose. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/article-abstract/2794886 Club Membership Plug: Let’s stop and take a moment to talk about Fight Laugh Feast Club membership.

Two highly contentious races are taking place in these states Tuesday. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is facing opposition from Donald Trump-endorsed Kelly Tshibaka. Murkowski was one of seven senators who voted to impeach the 45th President the second time. Meanwhile, experts are wondering if Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy0.) can secure her seat against Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman. She’s one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump and she’s also one of two Republicans on the January 6 panel. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) is the other who has come to her defense often. California church that was fined over $200K for defying COVID-19 restrictions gets fines dropped https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-church-fined-200k-defying-covid-19-restrictions-fines-dropped A California church that continued to hold services in defiance of county health orders that it close down during the COVID-19 pandemic has had its fines dropped after a nearly two-year battle. "This is a significant victory for churches and pastors across this country," Robert Tyler, president of Advocates for Faith & Freedom, said in a press release after the California Court of Appeal reversed an injunction against Calvary Chapel San Jose. "We are honored to represent pastors and churches who are willing to take the heat in defense of liberty because it benefits everyone." At issue was the church's refusal to comply with health officials in Santa Clara County, who obtained a temporary restraining order and injunction in November 2020 against Calvary Chapel and two pastors, Mike McClure and Carson Atherly, after the church failed to follow pandemic health orders that included restrictions on in-person services, mask mandates, and a submission to the county of the church's social distancing protocols. The defiance eventually resulted in over $200,000 in fines for the church, which continued to hold worship services as the monetary penalties mounted. Calvary Chapel's persistence eventually paid off. The California Court of Appeal reversed the injunction, contempt orders, and fines on Monday. "For the reasons stated below, we conclude that the temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions are facially unconstitutional pursuant to the recent guidance of the United States Supreme Court regarding the First Amendment’s protection of the free exercise of religion in the context of public health orders that impact religious practice," the court said in the ruling. "As the underlying orders which Calvary Chapel violated are void and unenforceable, we will annul the orders of contempt in their entirety and reverse the orders to pay monetary sanctions."

Biden signs $739 billion Inflation Reduction Act into law, slams GOP for voting against the tax, climate deal https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-signs-739-billion-inflation-reduction-act-law-slams-gop-voting-against-tax-climate-deal President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law on Tuesday, saying "the American people won, and the special interests lost" with the new legislation and touting Democratic support while slamming Republicans for not backing the bill. The president returned to the White House after a week-long vacation in Kiawah Island, South Carolina. Biden was joined by House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer during an event in the State Dining Room at the White House. "With this law, the American people won, and the special interests lost," Biden said Tuesday. "This administration began amid a dark time in America … a once-in-a-century pandemic, devastating joblessness, clear and present threats to democracy and the rule of law, doubts about America's future itself — and yet we've not wavered, we've not flinched, and we've not given in." Biden said, instead, the law will "deliver results for the American people." "We didn't tear down. We built up. We didn't look back. We look forward," Biden said. "And today, today, offers further proof that the soul of America is vibrant. The future of America is bright, and the promise of America is real. And just beginning." The bill, which was passed by the Senate earlier this month and the House of Representatives last week, costs an estimated $437 billion, with $369 billion going toward investments in "Energy Security and Climate Change," according to a summary by Senate Democrats. Vice President Kamala Harris cast a tie-breaking vote to allow the legislation to pass, 51-50, in the Senate, and the House passed the legislation a few days later. "I am confident this bill will endure as one of the greatest legislative feats in decades," said Schumer, D-N.Y. "In normal times, getting these bills done would be a huge achievement, but to do now, with only 50 Democratic votes in the Senate over an intransigent Republican minority, is nothing short of amazing." Schumer thanked Biden for his leadership during the Tuesday event, and he thanked his Democratic colleagues, including Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., for joining together to pass the package, saying it shows "how dedicated and persistent our caucus is." Democrats project that the legislation will reduce the deficit by bringing in $737 billion. This includes an estimated $124 billion from IRS tax enforcement, the projected result of hiring 87,000 new IRS agents who will ramp up audits. The bill also imposes a 15% corporate minimum tax that the Joint Committee on Taxation predicts will raise $222 billion, and prescription drug pricing reform that the Senate estimates will bring in $265 billion. The Congressional Budget Office said the bill will have "a negligible effect" on inflation in 2022, and in 2023 its impact would range between reducing inflation by 0.1% and increasing it by 0.1%. Judge declines request to block Georgia's fetal heartbeat law that bans some abortions https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/fulton-county-judge-declines-request-block-georgias-fetal-heartbeat-law Fulton County Superior Court judge declined a request to block Georgia's fetal heartbeat law that bans most abortions after six weeks. Georgia lawmakers passed House Bill 481, the Living Infants Fairness Equality Act, in 2019. However, a federal judge initially blocked the law, commonly called the "Heartbeat Bill," because the U.S. Supreme Court had previously upheld the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling. After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Georgia officials asked the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to reverse the district court decision, and a federal appeals judge ruled the law could take effect. The move officials prompted a group of pro-abortion doctors and advocates to file a lawsuit in Fulton County Superior Court. "The court's decision today declining to block the abortion ban is extremely disappointing and leaves in place a law that severely compromises the quality of women's healthcare in the state of Georgia," Andrea Young, executive director of the ACLU of Georgia, said in an announcement. "Ultimately, the power is with Georgia voters to affirm our right to privacy and to make personal, private and intimate decisions without government interference." Opponents of the law said the ruling is not final and that it denied immediate "emergency relief" to block HB 481. In a news release, opponents said they planned to continue their fight. Kara Richardson, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Chris Carr, declined to comment, saying the case is ongoing. Katie Byrd and Andrew Isenhour, spokespeople for Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, did not respond to a request from The Center Square for comment. This is Gabriel Rench with Crosspolitic News.

The bill also imposes a 15% corporate minimum tax that the Joint Committee on Taxation predicts will raise $222 billion, and prescription drug pricing reform that the Senate estimates will bring in $265 billion. The Congressional Budget Office said the bill will have "a negligible effect" on inflation in 2022, and in 2023 its impact would range between reducing inflation by 0.1% and increasing it by 0.1%. Judge declines request to block Georgia's fetal heartbeat law that bans some abortions https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/fulton-county-judge-declines-request-block-georgias-fetal-heartbeat-law Fulton County Superior Court judge declined a request to block Georgia's fetal heartbeat law that bans most abortions after six weeks. Georgia lawmakers passed House Bill 481, the Living Infants Fairness Equality Act, in 2019. However, a federal judge initially blocked the law, commonly called the "Heartbeat Bill," because the U.S. Supreme Court had previously upheld the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling. After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Georgia officials asked the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to reverse the district court decision, and a federal appeals judge ruled the law could take effect. The move officials prompted a group of pro-abortion doctors and advocates to file a lawsuit in Fulton County Superior Court. "The court's decision today declining to block the abortion ban is extremely disappointing and leaves in place a law that severely compromises the quality of women's healthcare in the state of Georgia," Andrea Young, executive director of the ACLU of Georgia, said in an announcement. "Ultimately, the power is with Georgia voters to affirm our right to privacy and to make personal, private and intimate decisions without government interference." Opponents of the law said the ruling is not final and that it denied immediate "emergency relief" to block HB 481. In a news release, opponents said they planned to continue their fight. Kara Richardson, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Chris Carr, declined to comment, saying the case is ongoing. Katie Byrd and Andrew Isenhour, spokespeople for Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, did not respond to a request from The Center Square for comment. This is Gabriel Rench with Crosspolitic News.

Two highly contentious races are taking place in these states Tuesday. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is facing opposition from Donald Trump-endorsed Kelly Tshibaka. Murkowski was one of seven senators who voted to impeach the 45th President the second time. Meanwhile, experts are wondering if Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy0.) can secure her seat against Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman. She’s one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump and she’s also one of two Republicans on the January 6 panel. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) is the other who has come to her defense often. California church that was fined over $200K for defying COVID-19 restrictions gets fines dropped https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-church-fined-200k-defying-covid-19-restrictions-fines-dropped A California church that continued to hold services in defiance of county health orders that it close down during the COVID-19 pandemic has had its fines dropped after a nearly two-year battle. "This is a significant victory for churches and pastors across this country," Robert Tyler, president of Advocates for Faith & Freedom, said in a press release after the California Court of Appeal reversed an injunction against Calvary Chapel San Jose. "We are honored to represent pastors and churches who are willing to take the heat in defense of liberty because it benefits everyone." At issue was the church's refusal to comply with health officials in Santa Clara County, who obtained a temporary restraining order and injunction in November 2020 against Calvary Chapel and two pastors, Mike McClure and Carson Atherly, after the church failed to follow pandemic health orders that included restrictions on in-person services, mask mandates, and a submission to the county of the church's social distancing protocols. The defiance eventually resulted in over $200,000 in fines for the church, which continued to hold worship services as the monetary penalties mounted. Calvary Chapel's persistence eventually paid off. The California Court of Appeal reversed the injunction, contempt orders, and fines on Monday. "For the reasons stated below, we conclude that the temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions are facially unconstitutional pursuant to the recent guidance of the United States Supreme Court regarding the First Amendment’s protection of the free exercise of religion in the context of public health orders that impact religious practice," the court said in the ruling. "As the underlying orders which Calvary Chapel violated are void and unenforceable, we will annul the orders of contempt in their entirety and reverse the orders to pay monetary sanctions."

Biden signs $739 billion Inflation Reduction Act into law, slams GOP for voting against the tax, climate deal https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-signs-739-billion-inflation-reduction-act-law-slams-gop-voting-against-tax-climate-deal President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law on Tuesday, saying "the American people won, and the special interests lost" with the new legislation and touting Democratic support while slamming Republicans for not backing the bill. The president returned to the White House after a week-long vacation in Kiawah Island, South Carolina. Biden was joined by House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer during an event in the State Dining Room at the White House. "With this law, the American people won, and the special interests lost," Biden said Tuesday. "This administration began amid a dark time in America … a once-in-a-century pandemic, devastating joblessness, clear and present threats to democracy and the rule of law, doubts about America's future itself — and yet we've not wavered, we've not flinched, and we've not given in." Biden said, instead, the law will "deliver results for the American people." "We didn't tear down. We built up. We didn't look back. We look forward," Biden said. "And today, today, offers further proof that the soul of America is vibrant. The future of America is bright, and the promise of America is real. And just beginning." The bill, which was passed by the Senate earlier this month and the House of Representatives last week, costs an estimated $437 billion, with $369 billion going toward investments in "Energy Security and Climate Change," according to a summary by Senate Democrats. Vice President Kamala Harris cast a tie-breaking vote to allow the legislation to pass, 51-50, in the Senate, and the House passed the legislation a few days later. "I am confident this bill will endure as one of the greatest legislative feats in decades," said Schumer, D-N.Y. "In normal times, getting these bills done would be a huge achievement, but to do now, with only 50 Democratic votes in the Senate over an intransigent Republican minority, is nothing short of amazing." Schumer thanked Biden for his leadership during the Tuesday event, and he thanked his Democratic colleagues, including Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., for joining together to pass the package, saying it shows "how dedicated and persistent our caucus is." Democrats project that the legislation will reduce the deficit by bringing in $737 billion. This includes an estimated $124 billion from IRS tax enforcement, the projected result of hiring 87,000 new IRS agents who will ramp up audits. The bill also imposes a 15% corporate minimum tax that the Joint Committee on Taxation predicts will raise $222 billion, and prescription drug pricing reform that the Senate estimates will bring in $265 billion.

​Monday on Political Rewind: Gov. Brian Kemp and Attorney General Chris Carr have expanded their legal battle against the Biden administration's COVID-19 vaccine mandate. They filed a new lawsuit even as Georgia passed 25,000 deaths from COVID-19. Axios political reporter Emma Hurt pointed out that Kemp's resistance to the vaccine mandate falls in line with his strategy throughout the pandemic, and his opposition to Biden. "He says, 'This is your choice,'" she said. "'You and your doctor should decide. I think it's a good idea, but I'm not going to tell you what to do. I'm the government. You decide for yourself.' So it really fits in with that track record. And it also positions Kemp well. As you know, I think we've seen him do this repeatedly, going back to the good politics point, as kind of a foil on the national stage to Biden. We saw it with the voting law. And so it is it does make political sense as well beyond know the legal arguments that they are making." A federal appeals court has temporarily stayed the order calling for companies with more than 100 employees to require vaccines for their workers by early next year. Meanwhile, the state senate is moving quickly to pass new Georgia voting districts. The redistricting committee approved new senate districts on just the third day of the special session. Democrats say GOP legislators aren't giving them or the public the time needed to weigh in on the new maps. Also: If Stacey Abrams chooses not to run for governor, is DeKalb Democratic CEO Michael Thurmond likely to enter the race? He hinted he might on our show late last week.

Monday on Political Rewind: Gov. Brian Kemp received a raucous welcome at the GOP state convention over the weekend. He heard plenty of booing from Republican activists still angry he did not do more to support President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The jeers were mixed with the cheers of those ready to support him for a second term in 2022. However, Kemp was not the only state official to receive a negative response for his stance on lies spread by Trump about last November's election. Convention-goers gave Attorney General Chris Carr a rough reception. They also voted to censure Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Our panel looks at what all of the means for the direction of the Republican Party heading into important 2022 races. Additionally, new fuel for the fire was added to controversy over the teaching of critical race theory in Georgia classrooms continues, even as few seem able to explain exactly what the theory says.

We have a special guest on this week's episode of the Peach Pundit Podcast. State Rep. Wes Cantrell (R-Woodstock) joined us to talk about some of his legislative initiatives, including the desperate need to increase legislator pay (just listen before you throw shade on this because if you understood it, you wouldn't be so negative), education savings accounts, making daylight savings time permanent, and Walker's Law. We also talk about Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance-Bottoms' decision not to run for re-election, Attorney General Chris Carr's decision to seek re-election and not run for U.S. Senate, the Colonial Pipeline and cybersecurity, and state Sen. Steve Gooch's proposal to end Georgia's participation in the federally enhanced unemployment benefits.

Friday on Political Rewind: President Joe Biden marked his 100th day in office in Georgia yesterday, where he made the pitch for his expansive progressive agenda. He outlined sweeping legislation that would invest in nearly all corners of American life; from early childhood education and family paid leave to passenger railroad and renewable energy infrastructure. Biden appeared at a rally in Duluth with the Peach State's pair of newly elected Democratic senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Gwinnett County saw a majority of its voters cast ballots for the three Democrats in the 2020 election. It was a crucial win for their party and a sign of the changing political landscape of the Atlanta suburbs. Ossoff and Warnock could be crucial to any legislation Biden seeks to pass in congress. Meanwhile, Attorney General Chris Carr announced this week he would step down as chair of a controversial association of Republican state attorneys general. The move comes as Carr sizes-up 2022 reelection challenges from Democratic opponents.
