Related: About this forumHow to best disqualify Marjorie Taylor Greene & other insurrectionists in Congress? - Glenn Kirschner
New reporting by Politico ("GOP Lawmakers were Deeply Involved in Trump Plans to Overturn Election, New Evidence Suggests" ) reinforces what we already knew - we have insurrectionists in the halls of Congress, some expected to run for re-election.
A group of citizens supported by the nonprofit organization Free Speech For People (link below) brought a legal challenge in an attempt to disqualify Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from serving in Congress. In her recent court testimony, Greene claimed not to recall anything about her statements on or around January 6, 2021, inspiring headlines like this from Vanity Fair: "Marjorie Taylor Greene Apparently Can't Recall Anything That Happened in the Last Three Years."
There are disqualification laws and procedures set out in both the 14th Amendment to the Constitution AND in the criminal laws of the US Federal Code.
This video discusses who is in the best position to enforce our nation's disqualification laws.

that the 'electorate' would see the BS and 'beat em at polls' - but the LAW gives 'the people' the security to know that ONLY QUALIFIED candidates will be able to serve - not 'cons' and grifters.
Yeah, 'BEAT 'EM!' - but get rid of those that don't 'play by the rules.'

(54,770 posts)7. Give up on Dems? Who are you gonna vote for GOPers, or help them by sitting out?
Im not giving up on Dems.
Think Biden and Garland know exactly what they are doing with regards to Jan 6th. Not as sure about others who seem stuck on retribution more than the future.
Biden and Garland will come out blazing IF sufficient evidence is there.
