Republican Congress and Marjorie Taylor Greene is on trial, sort of.

Greene has not committed any crime, but Georgia Democrats have dragged her into court anyway

by using an arcane provision of the law to try to stop her from running for reelection.

Georgia Democrats are arguing that the 14th Amendment bars Greene from seeking reelection

because one of the lesser noted provisions of that amendment, bars people who have quote

engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States from serving in Congress.

Never mind that Marjorie Taylor Greene has never been convicted of insurrection.

Never mind that she's never been charged with insurrection.

Never mind that she never engaged in an insurrection.

These Democrats are arguing that because Marjorie Greene raised questions about the 2020 election,

you know, the election where they changed all the rules right beforehand.

You know that one.

Because Marjorie Taylor Greene raised any of these questions because the Horn Hat guy

took pictures in the Capitol on January 6th that that somehow disqualifies this popular

congressman from holding office.

You probably have not heard of this provision of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

because it has not seriously been used in about 150 years, hasn't been used really since

Reconstruction. In the years after the Civil War, the Union worked to prevent former Confederate

officials from holding office.

And then since then, the provision has hardly ever even been mentioned.

Until now, just this year, Democrats in North Carolina tried to pull the same stunt to

keep another popular Republican congressman, Madison Cawthorn off the ballot there.
