Rep. Jim Jordan is disqualified from running for Congress in 2024 due to a violation of Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Willis hit back on Thursday with a scathing letter responding to Jordan’s investigation and related demands. She accused the congressman of attempting to “obstruct a Georgia criminal proceeding and to advance outrageous misrepresentations,” while reminding him that “there is no justification in the Constitution for Congress to interfere with a state criminal matter.”

Watching democracy die isn’t like watching a movie, where (at least in a well-constructed movie) the plot points are made clear to us, to make us sit up in our seats at the crucial points and help us follow along. It’s more like driving (in the pre-GPS world) along an unfamiliar road at night in the rain: You see things that appear to be landmarks, but you’re not sure of their significance and you’re always a little unsure that you’re going to arrive at your destination.

Jordan, in his capacity as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis last month to inform her that the committee was investigating potential “legislative reforms” in response to her prosecuting Trump and his 18 co-defendants on felony charges that include accusations of violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.

Jim Jordan also forwarded a controversial text message before that day, which laid out a strategy to overturn President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory.
