A New Mexico judge cites insurrection in barring a county commissioner from office
A county official in New Mexico who was convicted of entering a restricted area during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol must be immediately removed from office for his involvement in an insurrection, a judge decided Tuesday.
District Court Judge Francis Mathew ruled that Couy Griffin, an Otero County commissioner, is now disqualified from holding public office because he violated Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment by participating in the Jan. 6 insurrection, as well as mobilizing others to also engage in the siege.
"He took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States ... [and then] engaged in that insurrection after taking his oath," Judge Mathew wrote.
The decision against Griffin, who made headlines earlier this year by refusing to certify his county's election results, comes after some similar, high-profile Fourteenth Amendment challenges to incumbent lawmakers across the country failed.

“SAFE HAVEN’
The term “American Redoubt” was coined by novelist and survivalist blogger James Wesley, Rawles (he added the comma) about a decade ago, but the idea of conservative-leaning separatist movements in the inland Northwest is older than that.
More than a century ago, residents of eastern Washington and northern Idaho who felt ignored by state leaders farther west and south clamored for their own state. In recent years, some of those continuing movements have given the proposed new state names like “Lincoln” and “Liberty.” Over the last decade, Republicans in eastern Washington have put forth bills almost annually calling for citizens on the dry side of the Cascades to secede.”
