Tomorrow, our Constitution will be put to the test. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene will be asked to testify under oath before a state administrative law judge in Georgia about her role in the January 6th insurrection. Greene allegedly helped to plan and support the insurrection, arguing that violence might be necessary to keep Trump in power.

Watch the hearing via Facebook, CSPAN or here below on Friday, April 22, starting at 9:30 am EDT.

 

 

This hearing is about more than just Marjorie Taylor Greene. This is about ensuring that any elected official who takes an oath to defend our Constitution and then engages in insurrection is barred from holding public office again, as mandated by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, the Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause. Greene and her insurrectionist allies pose a dangerous threat to the future of our democracy that will only grow without accountability.

While state election authorities cannot impose additional qualifications upon federal candidates, they can (as confirmed by then-Judge, now-Justice Neil Gorsuch) exclude candidates from the ballot who do not meet the qualifications established by the Constitution itself. That is what we seek to establish in this hearing. We have made it clear to election officials across the country that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment must be followed to protect our republic.
