Judge Rules on Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Lawsuit Against Nancy Pelosi

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and two other Republican legislators sued House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and were penalized for refusing to wear masks in the House chamber.

Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Ralph Norman of South Carolina joined the action, alleging that the mask regulation infringed their rights to free expression and that the $500 penalties they were handed violated the 27th Amendment.

But in a 47-page order, Senior Judge Reggie B. Walton of the District Court for the District of Columbia rejected the action.

In short, the 27th Amendment says, “No statute changing remuneration for Senators and Representatives shall be effective until an election of Representatives has intervened.” The legislators said Pelosi lacked jurisdiction to virtually adjust their pay via penalties, but Walton disagreed.

In Newsweek,

Massie, Greene, and Norman failed to wear masks during a vote in the House in May 2021, a policy implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each was fined $500.

In July 2021, they sued Pelosi, a Democrat. They sued the sergeant-at-arms and the House administrator.

“The well-founded beliefs” that mask-wearing was not based on scientific facts and that masks were “not essential for the vaccinated or naturally immune” were expressed by Republican legislators.

The 27th Amendment, they maintained, barred the imposition of such penalties. On Wednesday, Judge Walton rejected their arguments.

In his extensive dissertation on what “compensation” means for members of Congress, Walton emphasized that the reduction of disciplinary penalties from the plaintiffs’ salaries does not affect their income.

As a result, he said, “the deduction of penalties from plaintiffs’ wages according to House Resolution 38 does not violate the Twenty-Seventh Amendment.”

Newsweek said that HR 38 was enacted to implement Pelosi’s mask law.

The court also dismissed the GOP legislators’ claims that the regulation punished them for “contrary viewpoint-based symbolic speech” in violation of their First Amendment rights.

To the defendants’ credit, he accepted that the mask policy and HR 38 were “unrelated to the repression of expression.”

According to Walton, a George W. Bush appointee, “the scientific community is certain that masks – and in particular, well-fitting, protective masks – are effective in slowing or halting the spread of the COVID-19 virus.”

Despite this, Massie told Newsweek on Thursday that the court found that collecting mask penalties directly from members’ pay did not amount to salary cutbacks, as the Constitution prohibits.

He then said that the three intended to file an appeal against the decision.

“We are pleased to have received a decision that moves us one step closer to taking our case to the Supreme Court, where we think a straightforward reading of the Constitution would plainly demonstrate that Speaker Pelosi has violated the Constitution,” Massie said.

In the case of Greene, a late-December poll revealed that she is “cruising to re-election” with a significant advantage ahead of the Republican primary contest.

        • I say hang them all for treason because every one of them is guilty they are destroying our country and it is on purpose they gave our enemies billions of dollars of a military equipment to kill us with the man is incompetent he is mentally ill and shouldn’t be running any country or anything they shut down our pipeline so we could not be energy efficient so we have to buy oil from Russia and that is where we’re buying it from I’m pretty sure. I’d say we arrest all these people and put them on trial for treason because every damn one of them is guilty and then we can hang them because if the American people don’t arrest them nobody is the Republican party should be impeaching every damn one of them for treason but yet they sit around waiting for November and what if they cheat again we’ll have no chance of getting rid of them I say the American people arrest them for treason because they are guilty of it

    • Most definitely. I saw a photograph of her son in law pictured with the first Capitol intruders who were escorted into the Capitol by the Capitol police. The picture had Pelosi’s son in law with the guy with the horns on his head and a couple of other guys just minutes before entering the Capitol. Now, somebody tell me she was not the mastermind behind the entire January 6th ordeal.

  1. How long are we going to stand for our rights to be trampled and forfeited by our Congressional leaders? Our forefathers put in our constitution, not only the right to but the obligation of us citizens to overthrow a tyrannical and unconstitutional government by any means necessary and to restore our country back to it’s constitutional values. We the people Must rise up now and do exactly that. We cannot afford to sit on our lazy asses any longer. We soon will not have the authority or the means to do so!

    • You are so right. The constitution give us we the people every right and laws to take our country back it looks like all the people congress/senator/ supreme courts judges/ and our Generals that took an oath to protect the people of American and our constitution have let us us down we the people have got to stand strong together and fight for our freedom/ constitution. We can’t wait to vote in 2022/2024 hell there want be any reason to vote when our constitution/ freedom/ country is under control of China communist Illuminati new world order. The 2nd amendment was put in the constitution just for this reason so we the people could protect our self from our own government.

      • How do “we, the People” take back our country? I back the “Freedom Convoy”, “Bikers for Justice”, and any group that has every RIGHT to voice the US Constitution and take action. Isn’t it time to use that document to arrest law enforcement officers for their violations? In this case I believe the right course of action is to go from the bottom up. Citizen Arrest the violating officers, then their bosses, then the attorneys letting criminals go, and continue. Some 18 Wheelers have heated trailers where detainees can be held comfortably. Make our own jail so the actual ones can be left uncrowded. Use donations to feed and provide sanitary conditions. We never want to be accused of brutality or abuse. Continue until every politician that has violated their Oath of Office and profited from violating the Constitution have either been charged for their wrongdoing, or resigned in dishonor.

  4. Sadly the second amendment is becoming the one that will save this country from it’s tyrannical leaders. The government is infected heavily with domestic Enemies and it is time to purge the government of this human virus and destroying the constitution and weakening the country as a whole. Veterans have an affirmative defense and should unite and form military tribunals and begin arresting, holding trials and hanging those that have been found guilty of treason and violations of their constitutional oaths. First question. Did you vote to secure our boarders. If No, guilty of treason. This virus in the government can not be voted out. It must be removed. The founding fathers knew this and time is upon this country to stand up for it’s constitution and the American way of life. When the CIA,FBI,and other government agency involved in election Friday and conspiracies to harm a sitting president it’s time to clean house. Period. They are all corrupt and need to be arrested, jailed and sent to the tribunals set up to punish treasonous behavior in the government.

    • I totally agree with you that we as Americans are going to have to stand up and fight, because if we do nor stand up and fight for this country. These Democrats that are for us, they are against us. And we Americans will be living like the Chinese people do, because that is what Biden, Nancy Polsi, Karmala Harris, Clinton’s, Obamas, and Chuck Shumer, and Adam Shaffer. These people want Communism and Socialism. And that is were we are headed!!
      I belive President Trump said it be for he left the White House, that the Democrats would take every right we have in the Constitution. As will as our Freedoms!

  10. The most important thing left out of the judge’s bullshit is, the masks they were required to wear, are not effective in slowing the spread of the virus unless people spit on each other, especially in a controlled environment with zero hepa filtration. They must be equivalent to n95 or greater, and properly fitted on a smooth face. None of the morons were wearing their masks properly.

  13. I am sick and tired of leaders taking cases to court and approximately 99% go to the defendants ie…Pelosi. The democratic party have many vipers in their midst as does the Republicans. Term limits (2 terms for Senators, 3 terms for House) Both Houses MUST change Speaker of House along with Senate Majority leader every 4 yrs, and not be permitted to take that role on again for the duration of their terms. And NO more money given to these lawmakers upon retirement from their offices–Go Back Home, Get a Real Job in Industry, if an attorney set up your own firm or join one. All this money over the last 80 years paid for what exactly? Each of them need to get a life and get a clue. We the People should not have to be burdened with providing them money/salaries once they have completed their terms in office. I imagine, if this course of action were done, we would start to be able to pay down the National Debt, which all are guilty of letting get WAY out of hand. No free lunches and No free rides courtesy of the US taxpayers.
