If she is, it would probably be to change laws in the State of Georgia to allow a president to pardon someone of Georgia state charges.

Ding ding ding!!!

Republicans don’t give a fuck about constitution, states rights, rule of law, or even basic decency. The first thing republican governor in GA would do is to overturn that state law to pardon the Florida man.

That law is because of a time in the 1930s where a GA governor would roll up to prisons with signed pardons in hand, and sell them to inmates.

The governor can pardon state crimes

I read on lemmy that GA is one of 5 states where that's not true. They have an independent panel to approve pardons.
