A coalition of mostly Democrat prosecutors in Georgia has filed a court action trying to eliminate a law that, essentially, requires them to do their job.
A report at PJMedia explains state lawmakers adopted a law months ago that requires district attorneys to look at every case for probable cause.
It also prevents the blanket dismissal of cases.
Gov. Brian Kemp signed it into law, explaining at the time, "I am not going to stand idly by as rogue or incompetent prosecutors refuse to uphold the law. Today we are sending a message that we will not forfeit public safety for prosecutors to let criminals off the hook."
Also created was a commission to review prosecutorial actions and punish or remove prosecutors who don't do their work.
Now it is a number of Democrats who "leaped from their fainting couches," the report said, to describe the law as "excessive" and "racist."
They are asking a judge to block the law, explaining they believe only they have the right to determine what cases to prosecute.

The report explained that DeKalb County District Attorney Sherry Boston, who twice has declined to prosecute Antifa thugs targeting a new public safety training center in Atlanta, is leading the fight.
"We are talking about prosecutorial discretion and prosecutorial independence, both of which have been solidly under assault the last few years," Boston claimed.
"According to Greg Bluestein at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, these district attorneys consider the law a 'power grab that threatens the independence of the judiciary, infringes on free speech rights, and forces prosecutors to hide their stances from voters,'" the report explained.
"The lawsuit says the state law will force district attorneys to consider crimes such as adultery, sodomy, and fornication," AP reported. "The law could also require prosecution for possessing small amounts of marijuana, even though the state crime lab refuses to test marijuana seizure less than one ounce (28 grams)."
Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr is defending the law.
"All Georgians deserve to be safe, and all crime victims deserve justice. Like everyone else, DAs who choose to violate their oaths of office are not immune from accountability, and we will vigorously defend this law in court."
IMPORTANT NOTE: To their horror, America’s ruling elites failed to knock out Donald Trump during his four years as president via the fabricated Trump-Russia collusion scandal – conceived and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign, as the Durham report proves – or through two circus-like impeachment trials. Later came “January 6,” a demonstration-turned-riot by Trump supporters who passionately believed, with good reason, that the recent election – and therefore their country – had just been stolen from them. Members of Congress now want to constitutionally bar Trump from again seeking public office for having instigated “an armed insurrection” (no protester was armed) against America.
Then in March, Trump was indicted in New York on 34 counts of falsifying business records, and in June, still more indictments were filed against Trump – 37 federal criminal charges related to his handling of classified documents. Honest legal experts not in league with the Biden administration openly classify these indictments as somewhere between frivolous and idiotic, not to mention grotesquely politically motivated.
The Deep State’s never-ending persecution of Donald Trump, as well as the incredible back story of the totalitarian agenda Trump’s persecutors are attempting to implement in America and why Trump represents a mortal threat to their nefarious designs – is the focus of the blockbuster July issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “THE PERSECUTION OF DONALD TRUMP: Why the ruling elites loathe – and fear – the 45th president.”
