I wrote for Politico today on the effort to exclude MTG from the ballot:
Greene is a bomb-thrower drawn to lurid conspiracy theories, who is symptomatic of how Congress has become a platform for crowd-pleasing performance art, but whether she continues to serve in the House or not is, obviously, a decision that rightfully belongs to the voters of her district.
Yet, last week we had the bizarre and disturbing spectacle of Greene, in what is supposed to be a democratic republic, testifying in a proceeding to determine whether she can appear on the Georgia primary ballot or not.
The attempt to get her off the ballot, pursued by some voters in her district and a group calling itself, unironically, Free Speech for People, never should have gotten this far. But a federal judge let it proceed, even though similar efforts have been blocked in North Carolina and Arizona.
