Edit: i checked the georgia constitution. If 3/5ths of the legislature certify a letter about a state of emergency, then the governor is compelled to call a special session. and if he doesn’t after three days, the legislature may convene itself.
the republican caucus has a 3/5ths majority in neither the senate nor the house, so even if every republican legislator signed (doubtful), this would not compel the governor to act.
You mean to tell me that you don’t understand that a letter penned by a member of your own party and undersigned by others were to make it to your desk urging action that you would not endeavor to explore avenues to take said action?
To compel does not have to be a legal term obligating the governor to perform the action, but instead can he standard English to suggest a pressure to act.
My own experience with advanced degrees is that they can give you a sense of humility. You gain some expert knowledge in one field, yes, but you also get a glimpse of a larger world of knowledge that you did not specialize in. You learn just how much you don’t know.
It seems you had a very different experience with your degree. It gave you the confidence to pull rank to win internet arguments with strangers. If that is the case, then well done.
Of course you don’t need a masters in literature to know the meaning of the word “compel”. Any speaker of the English language knows this. Anyone who’s seen The Exorcist knows this. You pulling out your credentials proves nothing. It’s a non sequitur.
And of course even if the word meant what you claim it meant, it would be irrelevant. You, my friend, are a non sequitur wrapped inside a non sequitur.
how does this letter compel the governor to act?

Where you’re concerned, that’s not surprising.
