Marjorie Taylor Greene Says States Should 'Consider Seceding From the Union'
The Georgia congresswoman once again called for the dissolution of the Union if Republicans don’t get their way
You're viewing a single thread.
Wouldn't encouraging cession mean MTG is now encouraging active rebellion against the United States? And wouldn't that make her ineligible to hold office under the 14th amendment?
Let's get that lawsuit roll'in.
You would think, but this is the second time she's suggested secession (admittedly she wasn't as blatant the first time) and nothing was done. I doubt anything will be done this time either. It wasn't even a major headline.
People are talking more and more about whether the 14th amendment bars Trump from running for president. If that ends up happening I think it'll end up being applied to other insurrectionist politicians.
Voicing an opinion, especially a political one, is pretty heavily protected. I think there would need to be some other crime being committed (e.g. actually taking up arms).
Good question No, if she only advocates for amending the constitution. Yes, if she tells people to take up arns
Agreed, and for the rest of these dumb asses:
Secession isn't always rebellious. See Czechoslovakia's peaceful split as an example.
And now we have
ChechnyaCzechia ;) and Slovakia
And how do you think the Supreme Court would rule on that case?
Depends on where you send Clarence Thomas on vacation first.
