BRACK: Georgia native should resign from the Supreme Court
By Elliott Brack | Improper is what it is. He is guilty of impropriety. We’re talking about, of all occupations, a U.S. Supreme Court justice.
For any judge to do something unethical and improper is almost unthinkable. And on top of that, he’s originally from our own state of Georgia. How embarrassing, apparently for us, but apparently not for him. That makes it even worse. Yes, we’re thinking of Clarence Thomas.
Gwinnett Forum | July 19, 2024
“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.”
–British Philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872 – 1970).

- Require the Georgia Legislature to meet only once every two years.
- 21st century salary for the Gwinnett County Commission members.
