GOP Lawmakers Appeal Pelosi's Capitol Mask Fines to Supreme Court, Unlikely to Be Heard
• Mike Johnson (R-La.) and GOP leadership defend Nancy Pelosi's mask fines, despite disagreeing with them, arguing they are constitutional
• Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), and Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) have appealed fines to the Supreme Court
• Fines were introduced by Pelosi in 2021 to mitigate COVID-19 spread; Greene alone accumulated over $100k in fines
• Supreme Court unlikely to hear case, only accepting 60-70 out of 5k-6k petitions per term
• Pelosi announced 2024 re-election bid; Greene published controversial claims about Democrats and Jan. 6 riots in upcoming book
