<blockquote>"Real estate can be a complex area of law, so I’ll keep things as simple as possible. If Brantley’s rulings are upheld on appeal then Georgia law will now allow residential landlords to be shielded by third-party contractors by bringing eviction suits in the contractors’ names instead of the landlord's, which is clearly prohibited under Georgia law. Brantley’s recent rulings will also mean courts can enter orders and judgments without evidence, without allowing parties the opportunity to be heard, and tenants not only will be evicted for not paying their rent, but they will also be '''arrested''' for it. He (Brantley) shows no respect for people's rights or the law as written." | <blockquote>"Real estate can be a complex area of law, so I’ll keep things as simple as possible.

"In political rhetoric activism is used as a ''pejorative''. To describe judges as activist in this sense is to argue that they decide cases on the basis of their own policy preferences rather than a faithful interpretation of the law, thus abandoning the impartial judicial role and 'legislating from the bench.'" www.britannica.com, [https://www.britannica.com/topic/judicial-activism ''judicial-activism'']</ref> | ||
