Judge: Georgia voters can challenge Greene’s re-election run

A federal judge has ruled that a group of Georgia voters can continue legal efforts to disqualify U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene as she seeks re-election to Congress.

The amendment says no one can serve in Congress "who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress ... to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same." Ratified shortly after the Civil War, it was meant in part to keep representatives who had fought for the Confederacy from returning to Congress.
