The Attorney General for New Mexico has informed Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham his office will not be appearing in court to defend her against the unconstitutional gun ban she has decreed by fiat in Alburquerque.
New Mexico – Democratic New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez announced he will not defend the state in pending lawsuits against the governor’s public health emergency order suspending open and concealed carry of firearms in Albuquerque and surrounding counties.
In a letter to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM) regarding four impending lawsuit cases, Torrez shared the same sentiments from Democratic and Republican lawmakers and law enforcement, saying the ban violates the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens.
“Though I recognize my statutory obligation as New Mexico’s chief legal officer to defend state officials when they are sued in their official capacity, my duty to uphold and defend the constitutional rights of every citizen takes precedence,” Torrez wrote. “Simply put, I do not believe that the Emergency Order will have any meaningful impact on public safety but, more importantly, I do not believe it passes constitutional muster.” (more)
Using a “public health emergency” as a method to ban firearms is purely an ideological effort from the school of Soros.
Looks like they shall have to crawl back into their slime ridden holes, and try another one on. It’s remarkable that everyone from the far right to Ted Lieu is going negative on this.
Overstepping this much is such a no – no.
Well, that one didn’t work…
Next up?
A suspension of our Constitutional rights by declaring a “national emergency”…on what grounds is anyone’s guess.
“Temporary” of course.
By the way…
The totalitarian’s mantra for any despotic mandate or law is “It’s for the children”.
Always.
(So is abortion apparently.)
Yup, the opposition just went to that particular well one time too many.
Add also “It’s For the Greater Good”
Watch carefully for a “climate emergency.” Coming soon to a nation near you!
So many emergencies…so little time.
She went too early….they were supposed to wait, stack scotus then unilaterally and illegally change the law.
And this, is her response to the Sheriffs statement!
This disgusting Marxist Dictator traitor deserves severe scorn and removal, yesterday!! Unbelievable!!! What an utter insane POS this woman is!
When a Demorat tells you who they are, believe them. This woman is literally from the gates of Hell! Evil and ignorant!
I literally despise these leftist clowns!

NM and MI and AZ Female Govs are all the same and take their orders from the same people.
it’s what else she grabs that is going to get her in trouble.
And the cabal of feminists, women and men feminists, all insist if women “ruled” instead of the ugly disgusting “patriarchy” (they all still live in the past, on every single issue) the world would be absolutely wonderful. As a woman, I can confidently ascertain that is complete and total BS. Women can be just as visious as a man, if not more.
Agree, as vicious!
I’ve heard it said that the female of a species is always the most dangerous. I agree with that school of thought.
there is the black widow spider lol
And who would want to tangle with a momma bear?
Yeah, to herself.
women are even more self serving and vindictive than men
ask any female high school student
I am a woman and I think women with authority and power are capable of more vicious, cruel behaviour than men because they tend to be more detail than big picture oriented. They can make lives miserable in small but consequential ways whilst cloaking themselves in their self-aggrandising, self-righteous version of morality – too much of the ‘ought and should be this way’.
They can also blindly destroy themselves. Because solipsism.
As a female I agree wholeheartedly.
But it seems the Left never picks the sharpest tool in the shed either.
Well stated. The calculus is changed when women enter issues of national significance.
See: Moms for Liberty, and especially THESE Moms in Maui:
awesome; people speaking out
you know, people, even on this site, like to criticize cell phones and
social media
however, without it we would not know any of this
including the insightful articles on this site
She sure as hell needs a lecture from SOMEONE.
Sheriff should give her action: Arrest her!
Grisham is a rake-stomping clown. We have may have just witnessed one of the greatest political self-owns in recent memory.
She needs to be impeached!
And then drawn and quartered.
Not before a good tar & feathering please.
She also needs to go to Jail and have sufficient time to think about what she did!
I would ask how she could survive this with so many other leftists coming out against this, particularly her own Attorney General and other LEO’s, but then, she’s a leftist.
Any Republicans in office in the state should be screaming for impeachment. Don’t give the left a chance to regroup.
She will not be impeached. The entire state is blue. The legislature will not impeach her. They won’t even curtail her emergency power authority.
This is my prediction, also. Nothing will happen, the 30-day period will lapse, and this tinpot dictator will slither back under her rock and await her next directive from the WEF – my guess? either “climate emergency”, “COVID emergency, “domestic terror emergency”, or LGBTQ-rights emergency.”
The latter issue is also known as parents objecting to their kids being taught how to be queers by queers, because Merrick Garland is all over that.
Just arrest her and to the pokey she goes.
She simply jumped the gun and gave the game away. The New Totalitarians hate players who go off-script. Timing, Michelle. Timing is everything…
Yep she is a bud light governor.👀
This. They don’t have some new found respect for the Constitution – they’d probably wipe their ass with it on live TV if it helped further their political objectives.
Rather, while they’re still pretending to abide by the courts, they’re afraid of precedent being set before the Election Emergency.
She just jumped the gun (pun intended). And as arrogant and clueless as she is, they’re just going to have ignore the courts wholesale, a little earlier than planned.
I’m not so sure she isn’t playing a role here, on the national stage. If NM is solid blue she faces no real risks.
She sure did. The only question is how much damage she caused to her own side.
That Ted Lieu and David Hogg pushed back quickly using the same language suggests that the governor screwed up the bigger strategy.
I was surprised. Virtually every law enforcement leader in the state (police chief, sheriff, AG) has disavowed her unconstitutional leap at dictatorship.
But as I said before, I’m thinking it was more about getting some name recognition nationally with the leftists who decide which politicians move up the ranks.
New Mexico has a history of distrusting authority. Maybe they are representing their constituents. It is rarer, but Democrats can be patriots
In NM, you never know when some idiots are going to grab your property and smoke a nuke on it….
I don’t know about that.
I was in Alburquerque and Santa Fe a couple of years ago.
Seemed like most were existing in a liberal fog.
We were at a indoor farmers market and I had to pull my sister
away from causing havoc when walking by a booth when we saw
they were signing up illegals for welfare.
And many people there drove Subarus, to us a strong sign that
the person driving was liberal. Although they were all SUV’s….LOL
The southern part of the state, more rural, is conservative. The rest of the state is 100% blue.
You should have helped your sister!
Has she just done us all a great big favor, by making it clear to all, there is no public health exception to the Bill of Rights?
Only time will tell.
most of all, clear there is no Lujan exception to the Bill of Rights
I am not sure dutchman, this whole thing has me puzzled.
Unlikely The Supremes would make a ruling that broad, but it would be great. If it gets there, they’ll slap her down for a much more narrow reason, like she usurped the power of the state legislature to make gun laws, or the order was too broad because law abiding gun owners don’t affect the state’s crime rate.
I, personally, find the feeble attempt at banning guns under a, “health emergency,” far less concerning than I find her statement that, “even her oath to the constitution isn’t absolute.”
Now that should tell us much more about the fascists than dreams of banning guns.
Even LEO admit no one would obey this stupid declaration. Thus, I never saw her ban as legitimate.
But I do find her views on rights and oaths to be very revealing. She isn’t alone on this mindset.
my concern is that this would set a precedent (which probably was already set during covid)
that a “health emergency” could be used as their excuse to ban anything.
If she really needed to declare a “health emergency” she should try declaring one involving the CoVID mRNA shots. Now that would qualify as a real health issue.
Nope, this was a test to see how far fiat edicts would go, or it was an attempt to stir up gun advocates to get violent(?) in order to invoke martial law. Careful out there, New Mexicans – remove this tyrant quickly, but peacefully.
it would be nice if this would go up to the supreme court and be ruled on once and for all
wouldn’t stop them; but, perhaps slow them down
we need to take this power away from the states
This “power” is fiat power, not actual executive authority, and as such is illegal. Democrats have been pushing this envelope for quite some time now and have gotten away with it in their enclaves (CA, OR, and WA, particularly). Even republican governors could not resist the urge to do this during the “pandemic.”. Of course, many republican governors are uniparty selections, so they behave just like democrats.
No, we should not take any power away from the states, we should simply not allow state officials to violate their oath of office, and promptly remove them if they do. And if the elected representatives do not have the stomach to perform that duty then they should be removed from office, as well. But many are beholden to their party or their donor base and will not execute these necessary duties.
Perhaps there should be more substantial mechanisms for removing state representatives; if there is any deficiency in the peoples’ right to representation this may be where it lies.
Good point. Thanks Dutch!
Thanks to the governor, the question of public health exceptions to the Bill of Rights is now on the national agenda.
I’m scratching my chin, wondering what to make of this. The pushback from within their ranks is encouraging, but I instinctively must question it.
Good instinct. But I think, in this case, there may be fear of local political backlash.
Yeah, the AG we’ve got in Nevada was put in place by Las Vegas liberals and right after he was installed, he said his first goal was going to be to enact more gun control laws.
Then the reality of having a state with almost every county sheriff representing a rural population (and saying they weren’t going to enforce his crap) finally penetrated his head and I haven’t heard a peep out of him since.
Yep, it’s giving the game away – they were not ready for this one, yet.
Given swift, super effective push back by local citizens, sheriffs, and the AG, every Democratic governor in the land is going to think twice and three times about pulling a similar stunt. Doesn’t mean some of them won’t try it, but many will hesitate.
She’s a Biden appointee was Biden’s possible running mate who was vetting her alongside Kamala Harris and former National Security Advisor Susan Rice.
“Lujan Grisham’s place on the list is a testament to the political savvy and policy chops of the country’s first Democratic Latina governor” and “a reflection of political change that has been developing for several decades, as well as being a trailblazer,” as Christine Sierra, professor emerita in political science at the University of New Mexico, described her in a puff piece (see below re: searchlightnm.org – Aug 7 2020)
Often shared a commute with Beto O’Rourke, (the guy who swore to take away our guns); meeting up on connecting flights to D.C., sometimes in the Dallas airport, sometimes in Chicago; has “proved to be a political powerhouse”; “faked a stroke” using unconventional means because when Lujan Grisham doesn’t get what she wants, she doesn’t shy away from taking unconventional measures. In 1997, she and Doug Calderwood, an ombudsman in her agency, launched an undercover investigation of elder-care centers. Calderwood said he pretended to suffer from alcohol-related dementia, while Lujan Grisham faked a stroke. They then checked into a couple of facilities to see what kind of care they would receive”.

Whatever they reported are their words against any one who might have challenged them – no one knows.

Makes me wonder if she is gunning for the Democratic VP nomination in 2024. White female VP suggests a person of color at the top of the ticket.
Soros probably chose this insane tyrant to test case “crime as a public health issue”, probably inspired by all the power grabbing our officials got away with during Covid. I expect they have more than one tyrant slated to test case this issue.
No doubt. Soon another tactic will be tried –
I’ve listened to a streamer who thinks this is intentional. The idea is Grisham proposes an idea so bad that the usual gun grabbers come out and oppose it which in turn makes them seem reasonable to the public. Grisham becomes a sacrificial lamb. They then at a later date try to push more gun control but then can say, “we’re not as extreme as that Grisham woman. Our gun control is more reasonable.
we must realize that the states
get funding from the feds through our tax dollars
therefore, they pretty much do as the feds tell them
My best guess is because this was a distraction tactic – possibly from Kari Lake’s case going before the 9th Circuit. However, I think it failed even as a distraction tactic, because it showed everybody deferring (at least claiming to) to the Constitution as written. Sets an excellent precedent, on an important topic.
AGs and sheriffs are elected generally, so they need to let their prospective voters know they will abide by the Constitution regardless of who the governor is. Bravo!
Local sheriffs also live among, grocery shop, go to the barbershop, have kids in school, etc, with the voters.
I can tell you for certain if TN gov tried to do something like that, the local Sheriff in my county would do nothing all day but answer the phone or the door to verrrrry angry law abiding citizens demanding he dare not enforce an unconstitutional edict.
In Illinois during covid, each week we would go to this restaurant 45 minutes away to have
dinner because the restaurant owner refused to close and the sheriff turned a blind eye.
Same thing in northern Wisconsin. Businesses stayed open and the sheriffs pretended
not to notice.
To me, that is freedom and democracy
She jumped the gun. The question is the bigger Democrat game for 2024 and how gun violence fits into that.
I can’t believe our founders didn’t create a group untouchable by anyone who would remove ALL who break their oath and jail them.
But what if they became corrupted?
Because of the age old question……Who’s going to watch the watchers if they are untouchable? The Supreme Court is practically ‘untouchable” now. How’s that working out?
North Carolina Governor’s executive lockdown orders said they were “not enforceable by law”. No one paid attention to that part.
We live under lawless government. REFUSE TO COMPLY!
True dc is lawless
In case anyone in New Mexico is interested in starting a Recall of their Governor…
https://ballotpedia.org/Laws_governing_recall_in_New_Mexico
Grounds for recall
Counties: Allowable grounds are “malfeasance or misfeasance in office or violation of the oath of office by the official concerned.” The acts cited as grounds must have taken place during the elected official’s current term in office.
THERE IS NO PROVISION IN THE STATE CONSTITUTION FOR RECALL. none.
It’s a temporary pause. You know like flattening the curve. The constitution and amendments need to reflect the values of the new normal.
So, you didn’t see that clause in the 2nd amendment that a State Governor could do as they please about gun control?/s
Yeah, two weeks to flatten the curve and all that.
Temporary pauses of our basic rights requires permanent resistance until the offenses cease.
The Liberal/Democrat pushback has been very baffling. Even little David Hogg condemned the power grab. It’s like someone further up their food chain has decided the Governor must be humiliated and all the libtard foot soldiers are following orders. Seriously, it’s not like they suddenly respect the Constitution. Something else is going on here.
I agree. The whole thang smells. But what’s up?
I think its a purposeful distraction.
I agree. Maybe a distraction from Kari Lake’s case at the 9th Circuit today. Even so, it sets a good precedent of Americans seeing Americans supporting the Constitution across the board.
Cross dressing.
Want to be able to say they supported 2A against Lujan the next time they try to grab something…
They will get their gun confiscation one way or another.
So called red flag laws still allow for them to be confiscated for even anonymous and/or baseless accusations.
There’s definitely more going on behind the scenes as others have noted.
A legal method of nullifying the Second Amendment has been and still remains the Holy Grail for the communists who have infiltrated every institution in America.
They have tried the covid scare scam to fool naïve people into taking lethal death jabs under the nakedly false guise of being a vaccine. But the degree on compliance has visibly shrunk since a mountain of evidence of the scam has surfaced over the past year. Now they’re about to attempt a second Scamdemic Scare in time for the 2024 election.
They know they cannot roll over the people if a billion small arms are still distributed among the population. The NM Governor tried to use what has unfortunately become everyday crime as an excuse for declaring martial law under the guise of a public health emergency. The scam was blatantly obvious and that’s why even the left recognized the folly of defending her actions.
Yeah, but the question is, what?
In an earlier comment on this thread I suggested that the governor screwed up the Democrat’s bigger strategy. The Democrats are quite good about master planning and marching in a defined order. Looks the governor may have zigged when the party was about to zag.
This is amazing! Why are so many Democrats against this gun grab in Mexico. Even some California Democrats came out against it. Does this have anything to with Biden’s weakness in polls?
California Joe: Because they fear for their jobs and rightfully so.
I hope you’re right!
California Joe: The NM Governor just made the job of other gun grabbing politicians harder and they are not pleased. Many people were not paying enough attention to gun grabber’s efforts to use health policy to erode 2A rights. That situation has now changed. More people now recognize the threat and know what the gun grabbers are up to.
It looks like everyone is following their marching orders to me.
Maybe it’s just the recognition that going after guns is a political loser, and Biden is a net political liability. IOW, the Democrats already have enough problems and then the governor pulls a stupid stunt which energizes the 2A crowd.
Meanwhile, we are in the 22nd year of the 9/11 “emergency” and will be for at least another year thanks to the most recent extension.
To understand how obscenely ludicrous a twenty two year national emergency is, think about other critical moments in US history and what the country was like twenty two years later… from 1776 to 1798, from 1861 to 1883, from 1898 to 1920(!), from 1929 to 1951, from 1941/2 to 1963. In each case it is a different America in a different world. That is how long twenty two years is.
We’ve seen it with terrorism. We’ve seen it with the pandemic. Now we’re seeing it with guns. We are beginning to see it with climatisim.
Public emergencies are the jaws of tyranny prying freedom out of American life. The gun “public health emergency” is particularly egregious, since most of the “emergency” is the result of Democratic mayors, governors, attorneys general, and judges refusing to enforce existing laws and properly punish those who break them. But in the end it is all the same method to the same end. It needs to be stopped, and quickly.
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. Her ban / pause using the Emergency clause makes Biden’s Emergency extension and any more COVID extensions look like the shams they are and will be.
The power to declare a public health emergency should be taken away from these tyrants. They have proven they cannot be trusted with it.
I have said since the mid 1980’s that,
“public health & safety are the most dangerous words in the government’s lexicon.”
I’ve been saying it and I’ll keep on saying it.
Public Health and Safety
Sure…
The government’s sole responsibility is to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The Constitution identifies the fundamental, inalienable rights of the people in the Bill of Rights.
What political fascists do, is seek ways to circumvent this fundamental duty to the people. As in this case.
The governor goes so far as to deny her responsibility to keep her oath, by sayin, “even her oath isn’t absolute.” Well, it is. As are the rights of the people. If one doesn’t care to protect and defend the peoples rights, don’t run for office.
The Constitution is the law of the land. Government at any level is duty bound to protect and defend the constitution. In so doing, that protects the rights of the people. Attempting to destroy rights under the rubric of, ‘public health and/or safety,’ is nothing but lawlessness.
facts: almost all of the gun related deaths (and violence) in Arizona is specific to La Paz county.
AND, its suicides 2 to 1 over homicide and other gun related deaths/killing/murder.
so what is IT ABOUT LA PAZ? ( and we must also look specifically at Suicide rates reached twice the expected number in Mohave, Coconino, Yavapai, Navajo and Apache counties as well as Gila, Graham, Greenlee and Cochise counties, with La Paz and Pima not far behind.)
now before anyone accuses me of being racist against native american first people, I do want to point out, this is the purpose of my post…it IS to draw attention to
poverty…and there is a difference between poverty and just being poor. Obviously. You can find very poor rural areas across the country that do not have high suicide rates! As well, you can also find a high density of native american first people communities and reservations that also do not have high suicide rates! So what is it about these particular demographic areas in arizona that makes up about 90 percent of all deaths due to suicide by gun and murder?
DRUGS!
and a complete lack of NORMAL JURISDICTIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY.
You see, in many of these areas, FOR DECADES, normal state law enforcement IS NOT PERMITTED to enforce THE LAW. So you end up with “community led” initiatives that are toothless. So this eventually becomes a generational drug abuse and POVERTY situation. (it’s very much like most inner cities, but without the obvious ethnic element and protected class zones. Law enforcement CHOOSES to simply ignore a growing problem. And then that community ultimately fails. Turns to drugs and poverty happens. This IS NOT TO SUGGEST that native american first people are inclined to these conditions. it’s simple a fact that is has happened in western arizona.
and this is a lesson of warning about what happens when people stop caring….stop caring about believing in god…stop caring about being hopeful and energetic to HAVE fulfilling lives.
as far as the governor goes, she is not much different than most state governors: a lack of intelligence and being hyper focused in a specific narrowly contructed strategy….she wants to pound all nails that “stick out” and in doing so will destroy the home.
just repair the broken back screen door governor. All it would take is to give local law enforcement that ability and the power to go into these areas and begin a drug enforcement strategy, coupled with inspiring the people there with access and support to GROW their own spiritual based economy…
the most important PART of economy…the one that gives meaning to work…That you do a thing because it is
PLEASING TO GOD.
leadership is lacking in this country because mostly “leaders” fail to recognize the power OF GOD.
it really is that simple
God Bless America
Watch a few episodes of Longmire and you get an idea of what living on the “Res” is all about! Great show BTW!
Yeah, with so many suicides, they’ll start a campaign against high capacity magazines /sarc, or maybe not
I don’t think it’s just drugs, etc. I think the communist government tried out a lot of what they’re now doing to us on the reservations first. Read the book The New Trail of Tears.
regitiger you are normally very focused and present well considered posts but you didn’t account for the special world of Indian reservations in this post……
If you are talking about local law enforcement on reservations the only law allowed is tribal. Even the feds don’t get to set foot on a reservation under normal circumstances. Certain circumstances like murder allows the FBI to become involved. This is due to the agreement between each tribe and the federal government setting aside that reservation land for that tribe. Each reservation is their land and cannot be infringed upon in any way by a state governor or anyone else.
Reservations are governed by each Indian tribe as they want to govern.
As far as dancing around the issue of American Indians and drugs and alcoholism ….the fact is they have one hell of a problem. Numbers don’t lie and facts are facts. Speak and think plainly and simply my friends……(what is “native american first people”?)
it is solely my opinion. just and only that.
one of my friends is 25% oneida indian
he gets free health, vision and dental care
doesn’t pay federal taxes on gasoline
and receives an almost $5,000 annual payment
from the tribe from casino profits
he has never lived on an indian reservation
“facts: almost all of the gun related deaths (and violence) in Arizona is specific to La Paz county.”
The gods laugh: La Paz = Peace!
Yes, the Attorney General in New Mexico is a DEM, but is apparently not entirely stupid or corrupt!
Liar. Blinking eyes. Looking so earnest and concerned. Got those statistics front and center, but only those that support her narrative. Use emotional key words that Democrats can emote over – NRA, “protecting all the people”, “so you can be safe going to the store”…..
Until they put the criminals in prison, get the drugs off the streets, solve the homeless and illegal alien problems in Albuquerque, there will not be an end to gun violence. This governor is using this “health crisis” to put a renewable ban on guns…….she’s planning to renew the ban over and over because gun violence hasn’t stopped.
The bish blew it. When lunatic commie CA Rep Ted Lieu says you blew it, you really blew it.
The Overton window was not that wide open, even for adult Dems.
Executive orders, suspending citizen rights under any conjured “emergency”, are exactly why the right to bear arms sits atop of the Bill of Rights.
This AG obviously wants to be the next governor.
Governor Blinky is fighting a losing battle. But isn’t it really about a testing zone, to see how many will actually bow to this mis use of power.
If it was a test, no one told her and the results are in. Bye Blinkie!
In WW2 hitler had the power of the executive and did things that help the alies win the war. Hitler over ruled his generals and made mistakes.
The woman governor has the executive power to overide also..
The governor is really helping those who obey the law and carry concealed and open carry weapons.
She has really stepped in it and its never coming off.
By her actions other misdeeds are coming to light.
A bud light- liberty safe type of governor.👀😳
When even a leftist from cnn questions your authority michelle, you’ve got a problem. Absolutely no one is siding with you governor, take the loss and go home. Your imagined right to ban guns is a fantasy. The Constitution, cancels you and your right.
I am so sick of these women in power. BTW..l am a woman. Does this thick headed moron think the legal permit holders are the ones killing people? Does she think the ones doing the killing are going to turn in their guns? Can she really be that stupid.
yes, liberals have proven they are that stupid
I’m wondering if there will be a statement from the NM state police along the lines that they will not defend faithless, treasonous state officials and their offices if righteous crowds of angry citizens bearing rope, pitchforks and torches appear…
This is a Power Play plain and simple.
“fewer guns on the streets makes everyone safer.” Criminals don’t obey laws, they certainly aren’t going to give up their Right to carry. It is moves like this and Gun Free Zones that create the perfect opportunity for whackos to do serious damage.
Talking fast and desperately, Bold and Safe, that’s her story and she’s sticking to it. What a weak lying premise she has that she can’t answer a question outside of it.
She clearly and simply violated her Oath of Office. Carry her sorry self out of that office!
She violated her oath and stated, “my oath to the constitution isn’t absolute.”
She admitted publicly she doesn’t consider that oath to be binding.
In my mind, this is far more dangerous than her fascist dream of banning guns.
Man, I guess she did make that left turn at Albuquerque…. 🐰
There is precedent, far more than there should be, for infringement on constitutional protections. But there is a long-standing rule that the infringement must always be tailored to minimize the intrusion.
If this governor is serious about using this method to achieve a reduction in gun violence she will narrow her fiat to take guns away from the smallest number of people possible to achieve the declared goal. Of course I find it hard to believe that she’ll be willing to do so since she knows exactly who that would be.
Notice how she says not a word about the the killers — were they arrested? let go on bond? incarcerated until their trial? Did they even have a trial? Found guilty? or let off with a wrist slap?
Honey child, er Gov, until the justice system stops with its wokey “oh, these poor murdrerers, coming from such a horrible background, you know: it’s society’s fault” —yada yada yada.
Well dear, if these sad, bad boys don’t receive the just reward for their crimes, nothing is going to change.
You know what they say: You subsidize what you want more of.
Our failed justice system — persecuting the good guys and giving a kiss to the bad guys — has much to do with our problems, the solutions to which you are ill-equipped to address.
Please resign.
” … it’s not a ban .. it’s a temporary pause ..”
More like she thinks her citizenry need a collective ‘time-out’.
A Right delayed is a Right DENIED.
I am grateful for term limits for governor here (this is her second and last term); the next one will probably be worse. Our last good one, Susana Martinez, was a pleasant surprise. This state is so corrupt! I avoid going to ABQ as much as possible. Crime has always been bad but it’s getting worse. The dems are insane to grab the guns. She doesn’t care at all for citizens. She cares about whoever is financing her.
Her failure will enhance her resume and she’ll end up in a democrat administration down the road, just watch. Her terming out in NM just means she’s available for movin’ on up…to the east side….
It’s good to see so many come out against this nitwit. I don’t care about those on the left who see the handwriting on the wall. I am speaking about those ordinary citizens who are saying, HELL NO!
Now lets see if other leftist politicians pause before trying other mandates.
Just another fyi: Judge Napolitano interview on News Max said the Sheriff/law enforcement could actually arrest her for this & then it was reported from a different source, the Reps in Mexico r going after impeachment.
There will be no impeachment. The state legislature is run by Dems. They will not impeach.
The state GOP is joining a lawsuit,not going for impeachment because they have no power.
There’s only one reason Lucifers Children want you disarmed: They want you sacrificed to Daddy.
BINGO!!!
This whole thing leaves me with a face so suspicious it could make Suspicious Cat envious.
I can’t yet figure out the meta game if there is one. Trial balloon? Unbridled emotionalism?
The Left don’t usually turn on their own this quickly. A play to make lesser but still illegal 2A restrictions seem reasonable when put up as legislation?
It’s hard for me to make my mind run in twisted little circles like cockroaches missing a few legs the way progressives minds do.
It’s that play for sure. Red flag laws are totally unconstitutional but now they seem legitimate. I expect a massive application of them to begin. I also think there will be massive numbers of people being interned aka committed which is also a totally unconstitutional practice. Where is the due process? Claims can be made against someone anonymously with zero evidence and the accused has no chance to defend him or herself.
How on earth is that constitutional?
“I do not believe it passes constitutional muster.”
Neither does she. If you don’t understand that, then you don’t understand where we are as a country right now. There’s a reason I keep calling them lawless, not misguided or acting in poor judgment. They don’t care about the Constitution. That does not bind them. Their ideology does.
This was a test. They are probing for weaknesses. The next state they try, the AG. and other key choke points will be mapped out to facilitate their unconstitutional gun grab. Soros will be spending billions more to win those key races. California could be a good testing ground. They’re already about 70% communist now.
When anyone starts with the’think of the children’ bull crap; just remember, it has nothing to do with the children.
🙄
Like most of our politicians the governors constitution is the globalist agenda supporting open borders and disarming the people. The current JoeBama administration cares not about the constitution by openly defying the constitution while doing anything to advance the agenda. This low lying fruit is another distraction from the big picture. Our nation is in peril.
It’s only temporary, so there’s no problem.
What we have is a Governor trying to implement W H O policies to abolish gun ownership in counties that still have freedom.
The World Health Organization’s proposed pandemic treaty include the exact same language. The U.S., E.U., U.N. and most nations are on board with changes that will give the decision-making power to declare a “public health emergency of international concern” or of “regional concern” to the WHO. Right now, only sovereign national governments can declare such an emergency, not the WHO.
The attack on the constitution is not a new thing for our politicians and it doesn’t they plan on stopping.
During the pandemic there was concerted effort to abolish the freedom of religion- churches were closed or severely limited to the number of people attending. Freedom of the press has almost completely disappeared. Freedom of speech is in jeopardy, try posting or saying something critical of the LGBT etc movement.
I’m glad there’s people wanting to impeach her but I feel that doesn’t go far enough. She’s making up random penalties so a one year suspension of her citizenship should be fair for her treachery.
You got that all correct.
Ive been banned from Facebook, and X, permanently, for insulting and posting things that go against the Rainbow Mafias nonsense. Reminding people that there is only 2 genders is a reason to shut people up, forever. Elon lies right to your faces, about free speech on X. At least Suckerberg tells you straight up, that isnt allowed. Elon just says what people want to hear, and then lets his staff do as they have done before. Nothing has changed.
Not that I care, because social media is nothing but a sewer of stupid.
IMHO, that governor is “Pimp slap worthy”.
A Soros whore if ever there one.
Funny, she and Newsom are using the same language. And both are wrong.
Something isn’t right with all these objections coming from the left. Doesn’t pass the smell test. They care about Constitutional rights now? I call bullshit.
So it’s not up to the “police” to “tell her what’s unconstitutional. What about her lawyer, the AG who is statutorily proscribed to represent her in her official capacity in 1983 lawsuits brought against her for violation of civil rights? That person has indicated he does not intend to represent her based on that person’s opinion of the unconstitutionality of her order. That is so huge I can’t begin to emphasize it enough. Where you are so far outside of your role in your official capacity that your statutory lawyer indicates your action is indefensible, I would argue that not only do you not enjoy sovereign immunity in that capacity, but you are now in the domain of individual liability for which a state law requiring indemnification of you for a civil judgment could be successfully repelled. This woman is an idiot, but a dangerous one. She admitted in the news conference that she does not believe her order will affect whether criminals will posses, carry or use guns. She has admitted therefore that her order is arbitrary and capricious. That alone, putting aside the obvious unconstitutionality of the order, would be an arguable basis for her civil liability.
It’s “BOLD” to pass unconstitutional dictates. She’s resume building to join the next Communist regime to takeover our Federal Government.
the evil doers always overreach
and then the cracks in the evil cabal dam start appearing
Thank you Lord!
So glad the criminals in Albuquerque are going to comply with this “bold” action by the governor.
She’s showing all Americans that anyone can be governor no matter how low your IQ.
I was listening to an interview recently where they were talking about the cray-cray Soros people illegitimately installed across the USA, and how they are doing and enacting all sorts of crazy and illegal things, and she came to mind. They are also in a rush to do it before anyone finds out they cheated to get the job in the first place. Like Delusionl Joe.
The timeline of the destruction of the USA has been put on steroids and they don’t care whether anything they do is unconstitutional or not, because they themselves are illegitimate. They get together in all of their little clubs, guvs assns and so on and craft their plots against We The People.
