The Governor of New Mexico Breaks Badly
NRO ^ | 13 Sep 2023 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 09/13/2023 3:38:56 PM PDT by Rummyfan

On the menu today: New Mexico governor Michelle Lujan Grisham declares war on her own state’s constitution and mocks her state’s police for being “squeamish,” and a new book reveals how much the U.S. government and its contractors deliberately hindered the Afghan military’s ability to protect itself as the Taliban approached Kabul in the spring and summer of 2021.

Gun Order Backfires
Let us begin by being clear: The governor of a state does not have the right to unilaterally suspend laws or portions of the state or U.S. constitutions by an emergency declaration, absent an actual indisputable emergency and justification that will hold up under judicial review. The National Conference of State Legislatures summarizes:

In times of war, disease or other extraordinary conditions, each state authorizes its governor to declare a state of emergency. Once an emergency has been declared, executive powers expand until the emergency ends. These powers include authority normally reserved for legislatures, such as the ability to suspend existing statutes or effectively create new laws — albeit temporarily and only as needed to respond to the emergency situation.

In my opinion, she is the pinko that drew the short straw and will take the heat. This is a test to see how far pinko commies can push the citizenry.

Little Hitlerette let the power of the governor’s office go straight to her head. It had plenty of room in that vacuous noggin’ since her brain only takes up 1/10 of that space.

A federal judge has shut her nonsense down. She clearly must be impeached or removed for criminal behavior. It’s actually against the law for her to deprive anyone of their constitutional rights.

Seems a few fries short of a Happy Meal on this one.

Maybe she needs to check in at a facility.

Further proof that Jack Nicholson was right.

Likely true.

Have thought about that before. There is absolutely nothing that the #ComDem’s won’t attempt to do. Especially if it destroys the Constitution. Then they win it all.

The New Mexico dingbats who voted for Lujan Grisham (no hyphen?) will blame their bat crazy governor’s violations of the 2nd Amendment on climate change. When it gets hot they start walking like zombies in circles with their minds gone.

And this is only one of many items on the agenda.
