“She is a problem for our party.”
Her and the tens of millions of other Republicans who believe the same things she does. How do you think she was elected (besides the possibility her campaign or followers threatened her Democratic opponent)?

This is why Rove & Co. are hoping and praying that the Democrats will take care of her for them. They know she’s bad for their long-term prospects but they’re terrified of alienating the millions of crazy-ass bigots who love her brand of toxic garbage.

Hopefully the other half at least see her as competition and recognize Friday’s vote as a prime opportunity to thin the herd.

In case someone hasn’t tripped to this already, “Q clearance” is from Heinlein’s The Door Into Summer. One of his non-juvenile classics from before he went off the rails.

The media doesn’t care. I could put out the most beautiful statement ever written, and I could cure cancer at the same time, and they would not report it,” Greene said.
I dunno, Marjorie. You do seem to be in the news an awful lot lately.

How does that match up with your view that she was fairly elected and that her constituents were entitled to choose someone with her beliefs to represent them?
Either she is a fit person to be a congressperson - in which case what justification is there to exclude her from any portion of her role - or she is not - in which case, why is it ok for her to be allowed to do parts of the role (like voting on legislation) but not others?

That was Von Braun rather than Rove.

It is a real thing, but we’ll probably never know what inspired “Q”'s window dressing.

Ah – DoE rather than DoD.
Muchas gracias.
Yeah, it’s a tech clearance, not spook stuff or secret troop deployments, and as the co-worker in Door into Summer points out, it’s very much need-to-know.

I’m not going to claim to be an expert in Congressional rules, however I see committee appointments as a privilege, so stripping her of such seems totally reasonable.
Removing people from office entirely who actually won their elections? It seems like a potentially slippery slope, especially after what we saw in January.
However, she has essentially made threats of violence, so would kicking her out of office entirely, if there’s a mechanism for that in these circumstances, be something I strongly disagree with? If indeed she has broken House rules? I wouldn’t lose any sleep.
100% this. The NPR Politics podcast covered this perfectly as a dichotomy with Liz Cheney- two people being heavily criticized in the party right now for opposite reasons. Liz because she voted for impeachment. Greene because, well, she’s batshit.
Guess who has 70% GOP voter support? Greene. Liz is getting hate mail and death threats. Unless something changes fast, establishment Republicanism is over. The GOP is election lies and Q-a-n now.

Well, here’s an annoying quote from the article:
it will force them to confront head-on the conspiracy theories that Mr. Trump allowed to flourish, and in some cases fed
Some cases? Some?
