Legal challenge to bar GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from ballot can continue, judge rules

A judge has ruled a challenge seeking to bar GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from running for reelection can go forward.

A federal judge has allowed a legal challenge by a group of Georgia voters to move forward as they seek to disqualify GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from running for reelection, citing her alleged role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

As a result of Judge Amy Totenberg’s ruling, the Georgia voters will have their challenge heard before a state administrative law judge in Atlanta on Friday, where Greene will be called to testify, making her the first member of Congress to be questioned under oath about the events surrounding Jan. 6.

An avid supporter of former President Donald Trump, Greene has denied any involvement in the attack.

The judge, in denying Greene's request to stop the lawsuit, said the case "involves a whirlpool of colliding constitutional interests of public import."
