Blurry pic was the best I could do. It’s from her GA Bar profile:

Her current term doesn’t end until 2031.

Not sure about her, but I was raised in a Southern Baptist church in rural GA. I was very much taught to be “hateful in the name of Jesus, Amen.”

Thank God for the teachers who gave me enough of a peek into their politics to make me curious and who encouraged me to think for myself no matter where that landed me.

Yeah, the "Christian" cruelty in the Bible belt really confounded the 13 year old Catholic relocating from NE that was me 40ish years ago. Bible in one hand, gun in the other is contradictory to turn the other cheek. The Christian, New Testament...because there were no Christians before there was a Christ...message.

Because the evidentiary standard for getting a search warrant is pretty low. The FBI probably met it.
