CANNING discusses the Republican plot to quash two petitions asking the court to toss the state's heavily gerrymandered legislative maps as unconstitutional, and mandate new emergency elections for the state Senate. Canning explains the merits of the petitions, the Republicans' complaints, and the constitutional crisis brewing if the state's gerrymandered GOP-controlled legislature votes to impeach and remove Justice Janet Protasiewicz.\\xa0 Also today: Donald Trump's co-defendants have begun surrendering in the Fulton County, Georgia indictment of their multi-state conspiracy to steal the 2020 election.
