A group of far-left Georgia voters, backed by a coalition of left-wing constitutional scholars, liberal activists and lawfare allies, filed a challenge against Marjorie Taylor Greene last month with state election officials. The 14th Amendment of the US Constitution prohibits officeholders from returning to elected positions if they supported an insurrection. The challengers claim that Greene can’t run for reelection because she “aided” the January 6 insurrection.
No one has been charged with “insurrection”, and the entire effort seems like a leftist political maneuver to avoid being crushed in the 2022 midterms. However, there’s a never-ending source of funding for these Lawfare schemes, so these efforts continue. An activist Federal Judge, Amy Totenberg (Obama appointee), from the Northern District of Georgia is anticipated to rule this week on whether the challenge can move forward.
MTG appeared on Tucker Carlson to discuss. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:
Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of the few congressional representatives who actually channels the appropriate anger and opinion of her constituents. That makes her a target for the Lawfare leftists.
We need to watch these types of schemes. This crap is what the Lawfare crew do when people are distracted.
Election integrity must be restored otherwise…
The right needs its own lawfare army. The left is way ahead.
Very valid comment. The conservatives need to have the RNC aggressively act against any leftist organization attempting to attack those supporting the Constitution and the rights of American citizens. Can those leftist organizations be sued for slander or for supporting an attempted coup??
When did evidence become optional?
November 22, 1963
GREAT Answer! Thanks…. (and that’s no birdbrain you’ve got there)
“Lawfare” does not fully capture the evil totality what these leftist law firm oligarchs are doing.
The vexatious lawsuits twist facts, laws and meanings as a mob sourced art form of treason to attack the Constitution and many of the most diligent and upright citizens.
Correct. You simply can’t take these people on. Nobody has the resources. MTG is probably 75-80 percent certain to lose her race because of this lawsuit. They will grind her into the ground.
And they can focus their energy on whomever they want. With unlimited resources and manpower.
Because I’m a whore and will take anyone’s money, I did some work for Stacy Abrams early in the pandemic. They entities backing her, which one would think would be a shoestring, non profit operation, was among the most LAVISH i’ve seen in my two decades in this business.
Lawfare have unlimited resources, and are operating from the most prestigious blue chip big law firms in D.C.
It’s impossible to fight them.
I think she will still win her district. But if they remove her from the contest then I would hope her constituents, who love her,will insurrect.
This lawsuit and her opponent’s campaign will be closely coordinated at all steps, so that things that damage MTG in court will be timed and highlighted to damage her campaign. Supposedly non-partisan civic entities will be putting their thumbs on the scale to further rig it so that the lawsuit wins every single motion, no matter what.
To THEM, they are taking necessary steps to prevent the country from descending into fascism. They are making it into a game no less rigged than something you would encounter on a carnival midway.
Both political parties fully support this effort as well. It’s all a shuck and jive.
For reasons you stated I’m of the firm belief that there is a special place in the devil’s domain reserved for politicians. Currently Arlen Specter, Ted Kennedy and John McCain serve as the Welcoming Committee.
“things that damage MTG in court will be timed and highlighted to damage her campaign.”
THAT’S THE BIG POINT WHICH TRANSFORMS THIS OTHERWISE FOOL’S ERRAND OF A CHARGE INTO A MEANINGFUL AND TACTICAL ENDEAVOR .
Seen from the demonist, Democrat point of view, it is hoped that MTG, when she faces questioning by Judge Amy Totenberg, will go overboard in her denunciations of the Jan. 6 assembly so they can throw negative ads at her from ‘purportedly conservative’ sources (but actually, in fact, from Soros-funded sources!).
In other words, they hope to turn off MAGA voters by claiming MTG sold them down the river when she appeared in court.
But my gal Marjorie is too smart for that. She’ll tell Judge Amy Totenberg that Jan. 6 was a constitutionally sanctioned, First Amendment event featuring the then-current President of the United States DONALD J TRUMP (got a problem with that, YOUR HONOR?) in which President Trump was addressing the Nation and his supporters on the ongoing LEGAL, LEGAL, LEGAL challenges to the election results (it was not an attempt to overthrow an election. Congress would have no such authority in any event!).
And furthermore, supporters were, again constitutionally sanctioned, to assemble peacibly in front of the Capitol building to show support for Republican members of Congress (got a problem with that, YOUR HONOR?) who had scheduled over 12 hours of congressional debate (got a problem with that, YOUR HONOR?) over the manifest irregularities of Election 2020, ALL ACCORDING TO LAW.
She will also tell Judge Amy Totenberg that it is not the job of the US Congress to CERTIFY the vote tallies of each state’s electors because that constitutional duty falls exclusively (and had fallen exclusively ) to the individual states, not the US Congress whose only constitutional role on Jan. 6 was to RECEIVE AND COUNT THE RESULT IN OPEN SESSION AFTER A DEBATE in both congressional chambers, as was previously scheduled by Congress in accordance with their constitutional prerogatives (got a problem with that, YOUR HONOR?).
Lastly, she will hopefully tell this partisan hack of a judge that what occurred as President Trump’s address was about to conclude is now a matter of an ongoing legal process to determine guilt and liability for the laws that were broken and the harm and damage done to property and life and limb, which, it goes without saying, was a deplorable event which no law abiding citizen could support or condone and for which the American people patiently await a fair application of justice according to law.
They know very well that she isn’t “fascist.” “I don’t like somebody’s politics, so I pretend they’re Mussolini” is a game they play to pretend it’s based on integrity. Right. It’s very transparent. The democrats namecall because they don’t have policies people agree with. Sometimes it works. Sometimes people are disgusted, and it doesn’t.
MTG’s popular enough that it won’t work with her. The same efforts were tried against Jordan and against Nunes. Heh, a lot of people like to play the demoralization game by trumpeting “That’s it. It’s over. I know. Don’t bother. Game called.” Lots of psy ops going on with this election coming up because the democrats know the only chance they have of ANY victories lies in making people think they may as well not bother; it’s preordained.
Sometimes THAT works. And…often, it doesn’t. Sometimes the people being harassed remain so popular that voters hold massive vehicle parades for them… when they’re not even in the same state.
I support her 100%. I can not vote for her, since she is not in my state or district, but if the voters in her district pay attention, they would realize that they have a gold mine in MTG. She is aggressive, is not afraid of being willing to go after crackpots, and obviously wants the best result for the people in her district. In fact, her voters have a gold mine in her.
Obama Judge Totenberg is definitely part of the Lawfare Cabal so MTG is facing an uphill battle!
Aka Nina Totenberg’s sister. Nina will be part of the strategic leaking aspect of the op.
Trump can fight. Lawfare makes corruption or great wealth a necessary qualification for office. Musk can fight. If the left has truly declared Musk an enemy, then he is a great ally to have forced onto our side.
Agreed 100 percent.
Then, they should be allocating support to MTG. This is a very important fight to WIN>
With the help of Almighty God, a teenager, named David, fought a giant and won.
Yet “fight them” we must.
Cook has her district as R +28 only way she loses is if they can remove her form the ballot.
I would volunteer my time and legal assistance as a longtime Constitutional attorney in her defense.
Anyone have contact information for her legal team?
The silence on the part of Republicans when it comes to defending fellow Republicans is deafening. Long ago I came to the conclusion that the only difference between the two Parties are the letters “R” or “D” following their names. The craven desire for power, the depth of corruption and the willingness to sell out our country and their souls in return for both renders one Party bad and the other worse.
Sole difference lies in the fact that we can count, off the top of our heads, maybe 15-20 with integrity on our side. The democrats don’t have that going for them.
We need to target Lawfare, Justice Democrats, and every fundraising mechanism the left uses to harass our candidates.
She should use this to force discovery… subpoena all video from Jan 6 from Pelosi as evidence that no insurrection occurred.
That’s $100,000 right there, just for that project. That’s a couple of campaign billboards. Poof. To dust.
“… backed by a coalition of left-wing constitutional scholars, liberal activists …” Left-wing constitutional scholars? Man, now there’s an oxymoron for you.

We won’t see the RNC funnel money to help her fight this b/c they want her gone too. Grassroots can’t finance her fast enough. More proof elections are RIGGED!
Besides his daughter and son-in-law, the two people who are most guilty of effecting Donald Trump’s downfall are Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Gofundme’s and whatnot weren’t just stealing that money, or redirecting bits of it to progressivism Inc. The powers that be will let them steal it, so why not? Isn’t stealing from a Nazi okay?
Even if she actually participated in an actual insurrection, she can’t be kept off the ballot. The amendment only says they can’t hold office. It says nothing about being on a ballot or being elected. She holds the office right now. Why would this only apply to her re-election and a ballot placement? If she’s guilty, she couldn’t hold office right now. She holds office right now because she hasn’t been found guilty of insurrection.
Seem to recall Mad Maxine specifically referring to many of the burn-loot-murder festivities as…let’s see, what was it again…yes, it was…”insurrection”! She called it an “uprising” and an “insurrection”!
Awful lot of ’em, too. And some involved that federal courthouse in Portland…and rather than strolling through (“parading,” heh) after the doors were politely opened for them, they tossed all the furniture into a pile on the first floor as federal employees huddled on other floors and…set the building on fire.
Then, of course, there was the attempted bombing of the ICE building…the actual violence and yes, “insurrections” have always come from the left. It’s interesting to put in a few search words about “violent attacks on government buildings” (please, not the goolag) because there are ..oh, at least seven or eight stories…big, bold headlines that come up…
…about this leftist women’s group blowing a hole in a gov building and some other leftist group setting off a bomb…in the capitol building, too. You wouldn’t think so, the way the corporate media goes on, but yeah, it’s happened quiet a few times with leftist agitators behind it.
So they may find that they are facing some “constitutional attorneys” from the other side who, not being democrats, have a little better handle on the subject and a better memory about the democrats’ shenanigans in the past…they may not want to go there, after all.
Judge Amy recently buried the report exposing the widespread fraud and hacked wide-open Dominion systems. She also acknowledged in advance of the 2020 election that the system was begging to be defrauded, but, in August 2020, declared it “too close to the election” to do anything about it, though there were backup systems in place for such an event.
Basically, Stacey Abrams sued, got the systems opened up for a look-see, and had the whole thing buried while she used the findings to her advantage. And she’ll do it again in a few months.
Lawfare if proved to be frivolous needs to be a crime with severe punishment, lawyers involved disbarred for life.
Agree 100%!
I’m certain the Obama judge WILL let this case go forward for political purposes, despite the total lack of foundation.
No one has been charged with insurrection.. WTH are they talking about?
MTG is having to cover the legal expenses for this charade on her own. No help from the RNC. You can donate here:

Democrats can only getaway with, that which Republicans allow them to.
I wish Marjorie Taylor Greene was my Congressional Rep. Our 8th district rep. could take some lessons from her.
A lot of us wish MTG was our congressional rep.
Imagine being so afraid of a fair election that you spend your time on schemes (like the democrats do constantly.)
I was listening to the radio a couple days ago and a radio host in GA was railing against MTG, practically clutching pearls over her and this is supposedly a conservative show that pushes for non-RINOs. I guess there’s so money involved so the circular firing squad is also in full gear. Voters need to be aware of the schemes of those in their own party to stab MAGA candidates in the back. These folks were gungo ho about primarying MTG.
MTG has the right to run for office again, and if she wins, do what the people in her district want. It does NOT make a rats ass what the Democrats want, since all they want is to oust her. I like her, and would vote for her if I had the opportunity.
Insurrection?
That’s a joke.
We are living in a Coup.
