A New Mexico judge has ruled Couy Griffin be immediately removed from his seat on the Otero County Commission for violating a clause that prohibits people who have committed an insurrection from holding public office.

The decision marked the first time since 1869 that someone was removed from public office for violating a clause in the 14th Amendment that was intended to keep former Confederates from holding elected positions, according to a press release from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), which was part of the plaintiffs’ legal team.

So you're saying a clause to keep someone's political enemies out of office is being used to keep someone's political enemies out of office? Things that make you go hmmmmmmm

Not "political enemies". CRIMINALS WHO TOOK AN ACTIVE PART IN A TERRORIST INSURRECTION, ASSHOLE.

I'd keep trying to explain the difference, but you're such an idiot, it would be a huge waste of time.
 
"His protestations and his characterizations of his actions and the events of January 6, 2021 are not credible and amount to nothing more than attempting put lipstick on a pig," the judge wrote in his ruling issued Tuesday.

"The irony of Mr. Griffin's argument that this Court should refrain from applying the law and consider the will of the people in District Two of Otero County who retained him as county commissioner against a recall effort as he attempted to defend his participation in a mob whose goal, by his own admission, was to set aside the results of a free election by the majority of the people of the entire country (the will of the people) has not escaped this court," he added.

The guy was a county commissioner and tried to invalidate votes in his district. The NM Sec. of State had to sue him. He is a Trump fascist.

Yes, they "trespassed" into Capitol cop's heads with flagpoles and fire extinguishers, they "trespassed" as they smashed windows, sent all the congress people including your hero, Josh Holley running for their lives.

Fuck off with your revisionist history troll, no one's buying your load here.

Protesting an election =/= "insurrection".

Democrat judge...naturally.

So, a solidly Democrat run state (badly run too) has a Democrat judge remove a political opponent from office using an antiquated law designed to allow removing political opposition from office. How utterly fascist and totalitarian of him...
 
Excellent. This has been my point for a while now. If you are a traitor, you have no place at the table. The language of the 14th Amendment is clear. Traitors cannot hold any public office. Which is exactly as it should be.
 
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A New Mexico state district court judge has disqualified county commissioner and Cowboys for Trump cofounder Couy Griffin from holding public office for engaging in insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

State District Court Judge Francis Mathew issued a ruling Tuesday that permanently prohibits Griffin from holding or seeking local or federal office.

Griffin was previously convicted in federal court of a misdemeanor for entering Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, without going inside the building. He was sentenced to 14 days and given credit for time served.

The new ruling immediately removes Griffin from his position as a commissioner in Otero County in southern New Mexico.

“Mr. Griffin aided the insurrection even though he did not personally engage in violence,” Mathew wrote. “By joining the mob and trespassing on restricted Capitol grounds, Mr. Griffin contributed to delaying Congress’s election-certification proceedings.”

New Mexico has one of the highest poverty rates in the US at 18.2%. There are counties where it exceeds 1 in 3 people.

If it wasn't for sites like White Sands, Sandia, or Los Alamos labs, N. Mexico would have one of the lowest attainment rates of college graduates in the US.

On the whole, N. Mexico is like an empty space between Arizona and Texas.
