A Georgia judge dealt a crushing blow to leftists when he ruled that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is eligible to run for reelection in November, shutting down a bid by activists and their out of state lawyers who sought to gin-up a bogus case to have her thrown off the ballot by using an obscure Civil War-era provision, a sad day for Democrats who are having a terrible week.
Administrative Law Judge Charles Beaudrot announced his decision on Friday afternoon, two weeks after a hearing when Greene’s antagonists attempted to have her disqualified under the 14th Amendment on the pretense that she had participated in an insurrection, the term that Democrats concocted for the protest by Trump supporters that went badly off the rails on January 6, 2021, but ultimately, their legal chicanery failed to convince him of her guilt.
Attorney Ron Fein, one of the hired guns who argued on behalf of a group of Georgia voters seeking to have Greene disqualified had clamed that the fiery lawmaker had, “urged, encouraged and helped facilitate violent resistance to our own government, our democracy and our Constitution,”
“She engaged in insurrection,” Fein said but much to his dismay, his fallacious case didn’t pass muster with Judge Beaudrot who, in his 19-page ruling, wrote that the burden of proof was on the plaintiffs and that the “challengers have failed to prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence.”

The decision on whether to allow Greene access to the ballot was left up to Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger who cleared the way on Friday night, capping off a brutal week for Democrats.
The congresswoman took to Twitter to celebrate her vindication.
“ACQUITTED.” MTG wrote, keeping it short and sweet.

Supporters of real democracy and not the Democrat talking point version of “democracy” took to Twitter to weigh in on the ruling.
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald skewered hypocritical leftists after their bid to take down Greene went up in flames.
“The people passionately devoted to democracy and who are fighting on the front lines to save core democratic values and voting rights failed in their efforts to have a court deny incumbent GOP House Member Marjorie Taylor Greene the right to run for re-election,” he wrote.

“How can American democracy possibly survive if voters are allowed to choose their own representatives in Congress?” Greenwald asked in a follow-up tweet.

Worst news of the day for globalists: @RepMTG can run again!

The mood was more sour on the leftist side of the Twittersphere where some tried to make the bitter lemons into lemonade, putting all of their rotten eggs in their one remaining basket, Nancy Pelosi’s sham January 6 committee which will be holding public hearings next month in a spectacle reminiscent of the show trials staged by Stalin in the old Soviet Union.
As expected, the judge has ruled against removing Marjorie Taylor Greene from the ballot. This was always a wild long shot. As we explained from the start, the goal was NOT to get her off the ballot, but to force her to testify about 1/6, which puts her in a world of legal hurt.

She won’t be on the ballot after the public hearings begin next month.

Other anti-democracy leftists wailed in despair, sinking into a deep funk after the news broke.
BREAKING: In a major blow to American democracy, a Georgia judge deems that Marjorie Taylor Greene can run for re-election, rejecting the sound argument that her role in the Jan 6th insurrection should disqualify her. RT IF YOU THINK THAT THE JUDGE IS A DISGRACE!

The judge might not have disqualified Marjorie Taylor Greene in this case, but Georgia voters still can.

So Marjorie Taylor Greene lied her ass off under oath for the better part of an entire day, and she’s facing zero consequences for that?
Yeah, fuck that.

The dick of the day trophy goes to Judge Charles Beaudrot of Georgia for ruling that insurrectionist Marjorie Taylor Greene can run for reelection, despite lying her evil ass off under oath.
Brad Raffensperger will make the final decision, but this is trash.#DickOfTheDay 🏆

Marjorie Taylor Greene is an enemy of the United States of America.

Campaign Twitter account TeamMTG posted the following statement attributed to Greene in a series of Friday tweets.
NEW Statement from MTG:
“Democrats have seen how hard I fight for America First values with the GOP in the minority, so they are absolutely terrified to see me with the power of the majority.

That’s why a Soros-style dark money group launched an unprecedented attack on free speech, on our elections, and on you, the voter.
Democrats know they can’t beat me at the ballot box, so left-wing Communist activists tried to RIP my name off the ballot.
And they failed.

This assault on our Constitution confirmed what we already knew: Democrats hate our system of free and fair elections.

Not only do the Communists in power want to control speech through Biden’s ministry of truth, they also want to control who you can vote for by perverting our legal system.
Democrats stole the 2020 presidential election by abusing and breaking our laws.

Thankfully this attempt to rig another election was stopped in its tracks.
I applaud Judge Charles Beaudrot on his correct ruling and look forward to winning big on May 24th.
But the battle is only beginning, the left will never stop their war to take away our freedoms.

MTG isn’t going away anytime soon, much to the dismay of Democrats and the media.

The attempt to deny her on the ballot was a partisan hit job by the tird dems and never had a chance……unless some commie judge presided! What a waste of time and money! At least the judge had some sense!
I don’t understand how the left thinks they can accuse a politician of supporting an insurrection that did not happen. Not one person involved in the January 6 Pelosi riot was accused, much less convicted, of insurrection. The only one who used the trm “insurrection” was the one who organized and made the riot happen was Nazi Pelosi. She knew it was a lie when she said it, but Josef Goebbels would never have been prouder of the lying performance that she put on, and sold her lie to the press and the democrats, who continue to espouse the great lie to this day. What a sack of excrement. FJB
Well,after reading the article my old saying still stands. I would rather have a sister in a whore house then a brother who is a Democrat. These people are pure evil.

That this went so far in the “legal system” is the true travesty of justice.
