what she did that meets definition of sedition — that would be used in court — or any other major crime.

Again, I get she’s a despicable person and right winger.

... involved.

MTG case got the text after arguments and it looks like the judge didn't consider them.

I don't know if that would be the case for JT, the text that are already public implicates her.

Trying to call trump's office -- and getting rebuffed and ignored -- with crazy ideas about contesting the 2020 election is not sedition.

rinky dink law designed to keep confederates from returning to Congress after the Civil War.

As expected, that failed because while the evidence was clear that MTG is unfit for office, there was no evidence she engaged in insurrection. Again, she's horrible, stupid, and worse.

"In his 19-page opinion, Judge Charles Beaudrot said that the burden of proof is on the challengers and that they "failed to prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence."

"Beaudrot also said that the evidence in the case was insufficient to establish that Greene "engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or [gave] aid or comfort to the enemies thereof under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.""

Probably a team. Most of us will get sniffed out and thrown off her jury. Some guy who wants the case over so he can get back to his fantasy football league will make the cut.

That's not a crime.

She will never experience an iota of accountability in her entire life.
