Judge Rules Group of Georgia Voters Can Proceed With Case to Disqualify Marjorie Taylor Greene From Office
By Mike Miller | Apr 19, 2022 11:00 AM ET

A coalition of Georgia voters, in late March, filed a legal challenge arguing that Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene does not meet the federal constitutional requirements for a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives and is therefore ineligible to be a candidate for such office.

The legal challenge stems from Greene’s alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

The group of voters, represented by Free Speech for People (how ironic), argue in the complaint that “Greene repeatedly advocated for political violence, up to and including, her encouragement of insurrectionists on January 6.” (At this point I’m simply reporting; the skewering comes at the end.)

A federal judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on Monday refused to grant a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order filed by Greene that would have delayed action in the case, as reported by The New York Times.

Judge Amy Totenberg, an Obama appointee (who knew?) wrote that Greene had not met her “burden of persuasion” in her request for an injunction. As transcribed by Newsweek:

This case involves a whirlpool of colliding constitutional interests of public import. The novelty of the factual and historical posture of this case—especially when assessed in the context of a preliminary injunction motion reviewed on a fast track—has made resolution of the complex legal issues at stake here particularly demanding.

This is really terrible news.  Imagine an Obammy appointee being involved, who would have guessed.

Really?  What if a Republican appointee had heard similarly about the disqualification of Obama as President?

??? They are stating that Greene does not meet the constitutional requirements to be in Congress.  So what requirements are those  that she hasn't met??

You went right past the point.

Terrible if judges do it to Republicans but not to Democrats?

No, I never stated your above comment.

Again, what are the constitutional requirement that Greene isn't meeting?  It is the constitutionality that the judge should be ruling on. The Obammy appointee is ruling strictly by partisan politics.

The dims really are wanting to start a shooting war aren't they?

This would set a dangerous precedent, by establishing political litmus tests for politcal discourse.

So unless, they have some iron clad proof that she intended to overthrow the government of the United States, they need to STFU.

IMO.... 

Bernie, Ilan, AOC, and others have said way more inflammatory things in this matter.  2 can play this freakin' game.

Agreed.  However, I'm still waiting to hear what constitutional requirements Greene hasn't met.

Exactly...  There are none.

What insurrection? There is no proof of an insurrection.
