A federal appeals court on Sunday halted Sen. Lindsey Graham’s testimony before the grand jury investigating possible illegal efforts by allies of former President Donald Trump’s to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, acting on a request by the South Carolina Republican, temporarily blocked a decision by a federal judge in Atlanta that rejected Graham’s claim of congressional immunity and ordered him to appear before the special grand jury on Tuesday.
The three-panel appeals court returned the matter to US District Judge Leigh Martin May to decide whether the subpoena should be partially squashed or modified because of protections granted to members of Congress.
Once decided, the case will be returned to the appeals court.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has said her team wants to ask Graham about phone calls he made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger after the November election about tossing absentee ballots.
He said the inquiries were protected under the Constitution’s Speech or Debate clause that prevents a local official from questioning a senator about official legislative acts.

To your point.
Friday afternoon ruling against him.
Appeals Court Intervention over the Weekend!
Won’t happen to anyone you’ve ever met!
>>The three-panel appeals court returned the matter to US District Judge Leigh Martin May
What does that mean?
I assume the writer meant a three judge panel from the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals returned the matter.
Do judges really “squash” subpoenas?
What was it? You know, what was it that cases of another flavor always seemed to lack , you know those cases pro porting election fraaaaaud?
STANDING????????
Well I wonder if tooooo much standing isn’t the much much more problem for them. Look, at the so called legal stuff tried on us so far which is characterized particularly by the January 6, 2021 strangle and attempting to impeach an out of office President.
They are neck deep in this mess they know it, feel it, and know that we know it.
They bought it and own the repercussions.
Hang em high.
That’s standing.
On the weekend!
“Quashed.” Honestly, the quality of reporting of basic facts these days…
US District Judge Leigh Martin May probably woke up with a severed horsehead in her bed. These white, racist BLM females are delusional if they think they have power. In the deep state world, she eats crumbs that fell off the banquet table.
She will have find enlightenment that you don’t mess with a deep state senator.
