Hogg is trying to extend his 15 minutes of fame, trying to make a career start out his 15 minutes. He is a smarmy punk, without skills, trying to not slide into oblivion.

Perhaps the governor can hook up with Gavin Newsom and help him in his push for the 28th Amendment.

Oath Of Office
The Constitution of the State of New Mexico Article XX Section 1.(Oath of Officer.), reads, “Every person elected or appointed to any office shall, before entering upon his duties take and subscribe to an oath or affirmation that he will support the constitution of the United States and the constitution and laws of this state, and that he will faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of his office to the best of his ability.”

Maybe she should read the above job description and Article Six of the New Mexico State Constitution.

I want to go on record that Gov Newsom is a self serving idiot and sleaze ball.

I think the last 3 years has proven this 10 times over. They are just getting more and more bold.

That's interesting since Torrez kind of helped create the situation. He was the Soros backed DA of Bernalillo County who was elected as state AG in 2022.

I'm glad he's taking a stance, but I question his motivations. Like, ummm, I don't know, maybe he wants to run for governor?

Certainly wouldn't be the first time a state AG admonished a governor (hello, NY state), then ended up becoming governor.

From wiki:

quote:

After graduating from law school in 2005, Torrez became an assistant district attorney in Valencia County, New Mexico. The next year, he took a job in the office of the New Mexico attorney general. In 2008, Torrez was chief counsel to Ben Luján, the speaker of the New Mexico House of Representatives, and then he served as a White House Fellow in the class of 2009–2010 during the presidency of Barack Obama.[3][5] He returned to Albuquerque to work in the United States attorney's office and operated a solo law firm.[3]

Torrez won the Democratic Party nomination for district attorney of Bernalillo County, New Mexico, in 2016. He won the general election without opposition from a Republican.

Notice how Torrez calls for stricter gun laws and for Wuhan Lujan to work with the legislature. The Dems in the legislature will take that as a mandate.

So how long until she tries to spin this to "we hate this idea because she's a woman" instead of being a plain fuck up?

I doubt sincerely that this will go in that direction.

I'll third that motion and tell Newsome where he can wad that new document up and stuff it.

I'm guessing the Gov. ran this hair brained idea past the Attorney General before launching it.

I don't think so.

You'd think she would have the sense to contact the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the State to determine if her idea would float.

Guess she thought she was above the law.

Surprise.

This is a test, see how far they can go, what angles can be used to narrowly go by the 2A and get away with restrictions on firearms...

She's on a mission, no doubt, with the heavily pro constitution SCOTUS and recent laws restricting states that have heavy handed gun laws, she's running the gun hater playbook, step by step...

New Mexico governor defends gun ban against 'narrow' readings of constitutions

Story by Luke Gentile • 21h

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM) attempted to defend her 30-day executive order blocking open and concealed carrying of firearms, criticizing "narrow" interpretations of both New Mexico's and the nation's constitutions.

"Well, we're gonna see," Lujan Grisham told CNN's Poppy Harlow Tuesday after being asked how the governor's order in Albuquerque stands up to both the New Mexico Constitution and the Constitution of the United States.

"Look, I wouldn't do it if I didn't think I had the right," she said. "I have the right."

Lujan Grisham said she is afforded that right because the situation in Albuquerque constitutes a public health emergency, allowing her to institute a "suspension.

"It's a suspension. It's not a ban, and we'll see what all of these court actions do, and I did say publicly, Poppy, look, I got a Supreme Court that says my personal body can be restricted, and yet NRA and other issues on Second Amendment keep getting broadened," she said.
The Supreme Court's 2022 decision in New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen articulated a "history and tradition" test for gun control laws, and the New Mexico Constitution maintains that "no law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense ... No municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms."

Lujan Grisham argued that she is not violating either the U.S. or New Mexico Constitution.

"I don't believe that we are," she said. "And if that narrow reading of the Constitution, which has been tested in the state, we wouldn't have universal background checks. We wouldn't have a waiting period. We wouldn't have a red flag law. We wouldn't have a prohibition for straw purchases ... None of those would have been deemed constitutional."

I'm sorry, but some of you are giving these emotion-driven adolescents far too much credit. This is precisely what it appears to be- an irrational knee-jerk reaction by someone who thinks their emotions override the law.

I guess those leftists and Democrat officials who are publicly opposing this idiot's unconstitutional actions missed the super-secret meeting to plot this ingenious "test" and that includes her own Attorney General.
