Rep. 3-Names is shocked! Shocked I say! that a federal judge is allowing Georgia voters to challenge her re-election, you know, due to her treason:
ATLANTA, GA (APRIL 18, 2022) – A federal judge in Atlanta today denied Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s attempt to block a challenge, brought by Georgia voters, to her candidacy under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, otherwise known as the Insurrectionist Disqualifications Clause. US District Judge Amy Totenberg ruled against Rep. Greene’s motion for a preliminary injunction to stop the challenge from proceeding this week before a state administrative law judge.
The ruling is in marked contrast to a March 4 ruling by a federal judge in North Carolina, who ruled that an 1872 law which gave amnesty to ex-Confederates provided amnesty as well to all future insurrectionists, effectively nullifying Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment and blocking a similar challenge brought by North Carolina voters to Representative Madison Cawthorn’s candidacy for re-election. Last Thursday, the US Court of Appeals granted the North Carolina voters an expedited schedule for hearing their appeal of that ruling, with oral argument scheduled for May 3, 2022.
As a result of Judge Totenberg’s ruling, the Georgia voters will have their challenge against Rep. Greene heard before a state administrative law judge in Atlanta, with a hearing currently scheduled for Friday, April 22, at 9:30 am, at the Office of State Administrative Hearings, 225 Peachtree Street NE, Suite 400, South Tower, in Atlanta. The Georgia voters, through their counsel, have issued a subpoena for Rep. Greene to appear at that hearing and testify under oath.
Now, the thought of Greene under oath is amusing: what she actually knows is true is a mystery of the sphinx. Jewish Space Lasers, anyone?
We gotta watch this one, the Q-spiracists are in trouble if she goes down.

That seems screwy. Since when can ordinary legislation nullify provisions of the Constitution?

You just know she’s going to claim executive privilege. In private anyways.

I hope they televise the hearing. I haven’t seen a Captain Queeg moment in many years, and she is so capable of providing one. Someone get her some steel balls to roll around in her hand.

“Steel” balls ?! Maybe some gop colleague balls, instead.

I’ll allege that this is the flaw in the ointment on that NC suit.
Remember the amnesty for draft dodgers avoiding the Viet Nam, ahem, police action?
The same logic would mean anyone refusing service or AWOL was exempt from repercussions. Forever more.

The 14th Amendment says that removing the “disability” (i.e., ineligibility) requires a 2/3rds vote of each House. So just a law would not override the disability.

That’s what I get for not reading the source materials.

Whenever I see that photo with her facial expression, I know that as a juror in her (my fantasy) care and treatment hearing, I’d not only find that she needs care and treatment, but I’d want her restrained with a bailiff right there throughout the hearing. She just looks scary there, and usually Republicans don’t scare me, they disgust and discourage me.
