Greene, Massie, Norman sue Pelosi over mask fines

Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.), Thomas Massie (Ky.) and Ralph Norman (S.C.) are suing Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) after the Republicans were fined $500 for not wearing masks on the House floor.

The lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia is the latest in the back-and-forth between GOP lawmakers and Pelosi over mask mandates.

The plaintiffs are asking the court to determine that the fines are unconstitutional, and to bar the fines from being imposed.

House Democrats voted in January to levy fines of $500 for the first offense and $2,500 for the second offense.

The lawmakers protested the mask mandate in May because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that fully vaccinated people didn’t need to wear masks in most settings.
