Closing argument from lawyer representing voters in Georgia’s 14th Congressional district:
“Our proof started with the oath…to uphold and defend the Constitution…against all enemies foreign and domestic…that is what the disqualification clause is all about.”
“Our proof started with the oath…to uphold and defend the Constitution…against all enemies foreign and domestic…that is what the disqualification clause is all about.”
“We’re talking about what happened at the Capitol…insurrection…in the disqualification clause, an insurrection is more than these things…the purpose of it is to block, impede, disrupt a Constitutional process or to overthrow the very existence of the government itself.” #mtg
“Leaders…who justified, promoted, supported, encouraged this in the days leading up to January 6. Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of those people. How do we know this? We know this from the evidence.”
(Like the Independence Day movie 😆)

“Marjorie Taylor Greene justified, assisted, supported and promoted the insurrection in that window [between January 3-6].
We have proven MTG was an advocate for violence against government officials. In fact, she advocated violence against the Speaker of the House—Mrs. Pelosi.”

“This is a person who is a federal official, a member of government…this is somebody who sat down in front of the camera and calmly and carefully told her viewers ‘we will not accept a peaceful transfer of power—we cannot allow it.’ And then she framed it as a new 4th of July.”
The main arguments seem to be:
1.) 1776 is a codeword MTG used and is evidence of her scheming
2.) MTG wanted an Independence Day…day…like the movie
3.) she had a “plan b”—“violence at the Capitol” to block certification of electoral votes
4.) code name of plan b was 1776

2.) MTG wanted an Independence Day…day…like the movie
3.) she had a “plan b”—“violence at the Capitol” to block certification of electoral votes
4.) code name of plan b was 1776
The main piece of evidence is allegedly MTG saying ‘This is our 1776 moment’ on 1/5/21.
“It’s a stunning statement. It has no meaning unless you know the code, it has no meaning unless you’re in the club. It’s plan b; it’s block the certification; it’s flood the Capitol…”
“It’s a stunning statement. It has no meaning unless you know the code, it has no meaning unless you’re in the club. It’s plan b; it’s block the certification; it’s flood the Capitol…”
“People knew what she meant…knew exactly what she meant. Tomorrow is our 1776 moment.
She was one of several leaders who gathered kindling, who created the conditions—made it possible for there to be an explosion of violence at the Capitol on J6. Then, she dropped the match.”

“We urge you to find that Marjorie Taylor Greene is disqualified from the ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of one of the greatest political documents in the history of the world—the United States Constitution.”
