WASHINGTON- Republican U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene will face a challenge in a Georgia court on Friday by a group of voters trying to block her from the ballot, citing a post-Civil War policy aimed at keeping insurrectionists from serving in office.In a novel legal challenge filed with the office of the Georgia secretary of state, the voters said Greene, a supporter of former President Donald Trump, has violated a provision of the U.S. Constitution known as the "Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause."The clause, passed after the U.S. Civil War in the 1860s, prohibits politicians from running for Congress if they have engaged in "insurrection or rebellion" or "given aid or comfort"
It's really the only card that the Communists have remaining to keep capable candidates off the ballot...

another manifestation of the left's desperation to prevent the will of the people to prevail. democrats aren't democratic. when they lose at the polls they run to their carefully selected biased courts and judges.

Once we retake White House, we need criminal indictments of those who committed crimes. No Congressional investigations Zero Nada Zilch! If we commit a crime, we get arrested, charged and go to trial and if convicted punished. The hearings drag on until the statute of limitations pass and nobody ever goes to jail. Stop in inquiries and start arresting these bastards!

If the Democrats think a bunch of people walking through the Capitol was an insurrection, imagine what they’re going to do when a real insurrection occurs.

Watching on CSpan. What a farce. If this judge lets this go on there will be real insurrection going on.

The Demzis and Reuters (I repeat myself) are totally misinterpreting every part of this current fantasy which they are trying to perpetrate through the approved Government propaganda outlets like Twitter, Metaface, everything Google, etc.
There was no insurrection. Nobody engaged. The act does not disqualify someone from running. It is the patriotic duty of every real American to protest the already proven fraudulent election. If there is any real insurrectionists it's the illegitimate tyrannical regime in office at this time.

someone please explain to me why this kind of foolishness is happening in deep south Georgia? I think we are being too conciliatory to the commies in this country because, in my opinion, to undermine the foundation(s) of our government the way the demcommies are doing is beyond reprehensible and must be stopped

Whoa, wait just a minute, exactly WHO made the LEGAL determination that there was in fact an "Insurrection" against the U.S. Government??? Seems like they are tarring and feathering her with the baseless verbal machinations of Schumer/Pelosi/WAPO/NYT. That Judge should dismiss this case as being without merit due to NO finding of "Insurrection" from the United States Department of Justice or Supreme Court.

Excuse me, but hasn't the FBI already declared that January 6, was not an insurrection? Insurrection charges are not being brought against those arrested for "trespassing". If they rule against MTG, I am sure it would go to further appeal.

A slimy tactic by a very nasty and corrupt bunch of out of state lawyers, and a dishonest judge helping them. I would write MTG's name in, if she was not on the ballot. The Republican Party is worthless for not condemning and fighting this. The leadership of the Republican Party has to go.

Has she been charged with insurrection?
Has she been charged with anything?

Have any protestors been charged with insurrection? No? Then the point is moot.

Shouldn’t Commie-la be getting the same treatment for providing bail for Antifa and BLM thugs who torched whole cities, torched federal buildings, attacked police, looted everything in sight and killed people? Those riots were real insurrections. 1/6, not at all.

Since SHE is the elected leader there...isn't this a "Rebellion/Insurrection" against legitimate Govt? and is "Giving aid and comfort" to those that would usurp and overthrow that legitimate representation?

I watch this and shake my head at the legal profession. The stupid judge should have thrown out the case when idiot out of state inquisitors went back to a CNN article of 2019 to prove something happened in the future. The jerk lawyer keeps calling her Ms Greene. I would demand that he address her as Representative Greene. And her equally incompetent lawyer can't jump up and say, "Asked and answered, your honor".

Remember it was Team Hillary that first floated the idea that Obama was foreign born. They hate each other as much as they hate us.

MTG is way too honest even for most Republicans. I wouldn’t be surprised if both parties are colluding.
