Marjorie Taylor Greene's Attempt to Sue Nancy Pelosi Dismissed by Judge

A federal district judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi brought by Marjorie Taylor Greene and two other Republican members of the House of Representatives over fines for not wearing masks during a vote.

Representatives Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Ralph Norman of South Carolina joined Greene of Georgia in a lawsuit against Pelosi alleging that the policy requiring face masks violated their rights to free speech and that the $500 fines they'd received violated the 27th Amendment to the Constitution.

Judge Reggie B. Walton of the District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed the lawsuit on Wednesday in a 47-page ruling that found the House mask policy had not violated their right to free speech.

Walton also concluded that the fines did not violate a provision in the 27th Amendment that forbids salary reductions for members of Congress from taking effect until after the next election.

I feel a bit bad for her constituents... That will go away if they reelect her, then they will really deserve this stupid, stupid woman.

Her district isn't that badly gerrymandered compared to most. In that area, the fact is far too many are probably just like her, and it's not like she didn't make an ass of herself before the election. In fact, I feel resentment toward them for making the rest of us suffer her stupid behavior.

Article 1, Section 5 gives congress the right to govern itself and make its own rules.

Dumb shit. Hey Margie, ask Jamie Raskin to tutor you in constitutional law. At the very least, hire a lawyer, who will tell you why your law suit will fail big time.

I'll say it again -- Dumb shit

That seems to be her only job these days - doing and saying outrageous things to get her name in the news and on social media. It's not like she actually WORKS.

I suppose Judge Walton had to do it, but my ruling would have been a lot shorter:

Eat shit.
