Gov. Nathan Deal "Quietly" Appoints Social Conservative & Staunch Abortion Opponent State Rep. James Mills to GA Board of Pardons & Paroles

Gov. Nathan Deal continues to make controversial appointments, with the appointment of fellow Gainesville resident & abortion opponent State Rep. James Mills, to the five-member Board of Pardons & Paroles.

Gov. Nathan Deal, who recently made a controversial appointment of anti-immigration and multiculturalism foe Phil Kent to newly formed immigration oversight board, quietly appointed a Republican, State Rep. James Mills, to the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles. We know exactly where Nathan Deal is going, "the white male shall ride again in the South." It should also be noted that Mills, who will replace the sole woman on the five-member board, L. Gale Buckner, hails from Deal's hometown of Gainesville.

News of the appointment late Wednesday came as the state executed death row inmate Troy Davis, who had proclaimed his innocence in the 1989 shooting of an off-duty Savannah police officer. The pardons board on Monday rejected Davis' clemency bid and has been under fire from backers of the condemned man. It was the second time the board had declined to halt Davis' execution.

Mills has served nearly two decades in the Georgia House and owns mini storage warehouses. Deal said Mills will bring a valuable perspective to the board as "a small businessman, husband, father, church volunteer and community leader."

"James Mills is a man of strong faith, who will ably balance our hopes for rehabilitation with our need for community safety," Deal said. A favorite of social conservatives and staunch opponent of abortion, Mills launched an unsuccessful bid last year to become House majority leader, the No. 3 position in the chamber.

"Strong man of faith," that's problematic because all five members currently serving on the board profess their love oChrist, but did the exact opposite of what He teaches -- sent a man to the death chamber when there were doubts. James Mills has no legal or law enforcement background but is being rewarded for his friendship to Nathan Deal. That's my opinion. Nathan Deal is sending another fox to guard the hen house. You will hear about this man's positions on the board in the near future. James Mills will ascend the board with and interpret the law based on his own ideology, whether it's right or wrong. Mark my words!
