Marjorie Taylor Greene, that’s who.

An administrative law judge in Georgia ruled Friday that there is insufficient evidence to show that Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia engaged in insurrection, dealing a defeat to challengers who claimed that the U.S. Constitution banned her reelection.

Judge Charles R. Beaudrot ruled against a group of Georgia voters who claimed that Greene couldn’t hold office under the 14th Amendment’s disqualification clause, which bans elected representatives in Congress who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” or aided the enemy.

I’d caution her against putting “Insurrection: Take Two” on her advertisements though. There are plans to appeal the decision, so it would be in Greene’s best interests to lay low for a bit. There will be enough fanning the flame done by others.

This is far from over. Insurrectionists like #MarjorieTaylorGreene don’t belong on the ballot. @FSFP pic.twitter.com/qVADo5FWJV

I guess we’ll leave it up to the people of Georgia to decide if she gets elected or not. Because that’s what the Founders would have wanted. Well, not really. The whole women running for office thing wasn’t really en vogue circa 1776.
