Eleventh Circuit Says Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Qualifications Lawsuit is Moot

On November 3, the Eleventh Circuit issued an opinion in Greene v Georgia Secretary of State, 22-11299. This is the case in which Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had sued to stop the state from adjudicating her qualifications, relative to the “insurrection” language in the 14th amendment. The decision says that since Greene already went through the state procedure (which she won), the case is moot.

One of the three judges said that if the case weren’t moot, he would have held that the state had no right to judge her qualifications. The other two judges expressed no opinion on that. Thanks to ElectionLawBlog for this news.
