Did Governor Kemp have a choice? Recall that the applicable law states: "The Governor shall appoint each qualified applicant as a senior judge." All things considered, the pivotal issue is whether or not Flournoy was a "qualified applicant" at the time of his appointment. While reasonable minds may differ, there is strong argument to say that Judge Flournoy was not a qualified applicant and that Governor Kemp made an honest mistake in appointing Flournoy as a senior judge. Navigating Justice sent a request for comment to the Office of the Governor, Brian P. Kemp, on January 28, 2023 regarding these matters. No response from the Governor's Office has yet been provided. | Did Governor Kemp have a choice?
