@NotHoodlum The Supreme Court rejected appeals from three Republicans who challenged fines for refusing to wear masks on the House floor. Thomas Massie (KY), Ralph Norman (SC) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA).
MTG now owes in excess of $80,000.00 in fines.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday squashed an appeal from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and her two Republican colleagues attempting to overturn their fines for repeatedly opting not to wear face masks on the House floor during the COVID-19 pandemic. The justices left no comment accompanying their decision to decline the appeal from Greene, who was joined in the case by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ralph Norman (R-SC). Their decision allows a lower court ruling to stand, which tossed the Congresspeople’s constitutional challenge and ruled that courts lack jurisdiction to review the mask policy.
