There’s a reason Democrats are desperate to stop Marjorie Taylor Greene

There’s a reason Democrats are desperate to stop Marjorie Taylor Greene
By Andrea Widburg

On Saturday, Monica Showalter wrote about the lawsuit that a Democrat special interest group has filed against Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and that an Obama-nominated judge (and sister to leftist “journalist” Nina Totenberg) has allowed to proceed. Considering that the left constantly characterizes Greene as a nutcase, a reasonable person might ask why Democrats need a lawsuit. The answer lies in a Twitter thread Greene posted last week.

The lawsuit against Greene riffs off the ridiculous claim that what happened on January 6 was an “insurrection” that triggers the “Disqualification Clause” in the 14th Amendment, a clause that Congress nullified via the 1878 Amnesty Act. You can read more here about why that Act is manifestly inapplicable to events on January 6. Similar suits, all of which are the brainchild of Clinton fixer and attorney Marc Elias of Perkins Coie, have already failed against Madison Cawthorn, and against Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, and Mark Finchem.

If anyone has any doubt that the left wants to criminalize speech that they disagree with here is Exhibit A

Whether  one loves Greene or can’t stand her is irrelevant.  We don’t put people on trial for their rhetoric. If the people in her district decides she’s a little bit too much for them, then let them make the decision to remove her through the electoral process

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Funny how the democrats are just fine with the rhetoric from people like Mad Max Waters, because of course it's not about the rhetoric it's all about the target and how accurate the shots are.

The Georgia GOP would like to stop her too.

Right. She takes them all to task, regardless of Party.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I recall reading here that Ms. Greene won with 75% of the vote in her district.

I'm kinda thinkin' that she may win with even MORE votes this year.

The State GOP redrew her district, and in the process threw a lot more Democrats in it.  She should still win, but her margin of victory will not be as great.
