 Effort to boot Greene from ballot could open new avenue of attack
by Julia Manchester - 04/21/22 5:10 AM ET

A judge’s decision to let an effort to block Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from running for office proceed could open a new avenue of attack against some of the GOP’s most controversial lawmakers.

Experts say it remains to be seen what the result of the single decision will be but it’s unlikely such an effort will knock Greene, or any other candidate, off the ballot. It could, however, give Democrats another opportunity to hit the GOP over the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and force lawmakers to testify under oath.

Meanwhile, Republicans are warning the effort could backfire in the future.

While many said they were surprised the effort got the green light, some Republicans are accusing Obama-appointed Judge Amy Totenberg of holding liberal leanings that have politicized the process.

“The judge is incredibly liberal, so it doesn’t surprise me that she would do that but I was very surprised they even let that thing go through,” said Jay Williams, a Georgia-based Republican strategist.

Totenberg’s decision means that Greene will be called to testify on Friday, making her the first member of Congress to testify under oath about the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

I sure do wish our side would quit referring to these people as liberals.  They are left-wing authoritarians, and their mindset has very little overlap with liberalism.

Perhaps. If so, it will be interesting to see what happens. Especially after they looked the other way in the election fraud cases.

How can Greene be blocked from running when she is being allowed to serve currently?  From a legal standpoint, wouldn't they first need to disqualify her from office before they could disqualify her from running for office?

@cato potatoe

Absolutely. They are about as "liberal" as Joseph Stalin. They are nothing less than communist agitators trying to destroy our freedoms so they can install a Communist police state with them in charge.

One of the saddest things about this is that many are so stupid they don't even understand what they are promoting.

One of the most ironic things about this is that IF they ever get what they claim they want,those are going to be the first people packed off to the labor camps.

With communists,once you are no longer a useful fool,you become a useful tool.

They’re trying to stop MTG from being allowed to run for re-election so they can do it to Trump in 24. So obvious.

Petitioners in @RepMTG case argue in opening statement that their evidence is

“Coded language” rather than actual evidence.

Very low energy.

We are now covering the details of a rebellion in the MTG hearing.

The Whiskey Rebellion.

The Judge just SUSTAINED the MTG objection to this nutty line of inquiry.

Petitioners are now so off the rails that the judge is SUSTAINING MTG’s objections without even hearing them.

Petitioner tries to get MTG to accept that any reference to 1776 is a call to violence.

She points out that 1776 is on the state seal hanging in the courtroom.

Judge laughs.

Whether MTG thinks Pelosi is a traitor is deemed irrelevant by the judge.

Don't get hung up on words. The moniker 'Liberal' is well known to mean a Communist Fascist Authoritarian Pervert. But more than that, 'Liberal' has come to be known as an insane green haired ignorant wacko with little or no connection to reality.

If you take the idea of 'Liberalism' to its original meaning you are right. But today, Liberal does not mean Liberal. The same as Gay does not mean Gay. When you call someone a 'Liberal', everybody knows exactly what that means.

Petitioner says the case is about MTG’s state of mind.

MTG objects.

Judge sustains the objection. Again.
