New Mexico Supreme Court Hears Arguments On Gov. Grisham's Gun Ban

The New Mexico Supreme Court heard arguments yesterday on the lawsuit against Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's "health order" ban on guns in parks and playgrounds.

The following was posted by the Republican Party of Santa Fe County:

Arguments in Republican Party of New Mexico Lawsuit Against Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham Heard Today by New Mexico Supreme Court

January 8 - Today, the New Mexico Supreme Court heard oral arguments regarding the lawsuit filed by the Republican Party of New Mexico (RPNM) in conjunction with every GOP member of the state House and Senate, the NRA - National Rifle Association of America (NRA), former law enforcement and private citizens against Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and NM Secretary of the Department of Health Patrick M. Allen for their usage of public health orders to remove New Mexicans’ Second Amendment rights.

Jessica Hernandez, legal counsel for RPNM and all plaintiffs, argued that the governor’s emergency order exceeded the emergency statutes and are an invalid use of emergency power.

Hernandez contended that it is entirely contrary to our system of government for one person void of the legislature to have the power to determine that an “emergency” has escalated to subjective and unspecified extents and to then impose substantive public policy and public funding decisions through declaring an emergency order.

Moreover, she explained that the public health order issued by the NM Health Secretary fails to meet the criteria of being an imminent threat and that utilizing data covering a period of over a decade cannot justify a circumstance being an emergency but rather a chronic issue.

During the hearing, Justice Briana H. Zamora asked Holly Agajanian, the governor's chief general counsel, where the line should be drawn in response to the governor's ability to declare public health emergencies. In response, Agajanian answered, “I don't know,” validating the concern that the governor's use of public health emergencies could set a dangerous precedent for future rights violations.

Chief Justice C. Shannon Bacon acknowledged RPNM’s perspective, saying to Agajanian, “I can conceive of almost anything being a public health emergency if I adopt your client’s perspective.”

The Justices also presented several hypothetical questions, including whether the governor could suspend New Mexicans’ ability to drive their cars by declaring an emergency for DUIs, comparing the similarity to the governor’s initial emergency order suspending the open and concealed carry of firearms. Agajanian deflected the comparison by asserting the amended public health order no longer bans concealed and open carry of firearms in public.

The amended public health order, which is currently being enforced, bans all firearms from parks and playgrounds.

Justice Michael E. Vigil stated that there is no statistical information within the emergency declarations showing there is a gun violence problem at parks and playgrounds in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County.

Justice Zamora asserted that most of the additional programs within the public health order could have been accomplished without the emergency declaration but that the emergency allowed for them to receive funding.

Justice Zamora warned of potential overreach through the use of emergency orders to attain unilateral capability over the allocation of funds saying, “If we allow this, what are we not allowing?” In response, Holly Agajanian again stated that she does not know where the line is.

RPNM Chairman and former Representative of New Mexico’s Second Congressional District, Steve Pearce, issued the following statement:

“We express our gratitude to the New Mexico Supreme Court for attentively listening to our case today. Our legal counsel presented the Justices with persuasive and compelling arguments, highlighting the momentous importance of holding the Governor and Secretary of Health accountable to the rule of law and ending their abuse of emergency power. RPNM is proud to take on this crucial case as we aim to safeguard the Constitutional rights of New Mexicans from current and future infringement.”

Grisham's Gun Ban In Public Parks Gets Preliminary Injunction

Some good news on Gov. "Malevolent Michelle" Lujan Grisham's gun "health order":

 

Jim Jordan Nails DOJ Civil Rights Official On Grisham's Gun Order

From the YouTube video posting:

At today's House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) questioned Assistant AG Kristen Clarke, chief of the DOJ's Justice Civil Rights Division.

Lujan Grisham Extends Unconstitutional Gun Edict

As she did during the pandemic, Gov. "Malevolent Michelle" Lujan Grisham has extended her "health emergency" executive order to further infringe on the Second Amendment rights of New Mexico citizens.

This little dictator needs to be impeached and removed from office. Those in areas affected (Bernalillo County and Albuquerque) by her order should tell her to shove it up her keister.

According to Piñon Post:

Democrat anti-gun Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has decided to extend an executive order declaring “gun violence” a public health emergency. The renewal, effective until December 29, 2023, underscores the governor’s attacks on lawful New Mexico gun owners’ rights.

Governor Lujan Grisham’s executive orders mandate collaboration among the Department of Health, Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, Department of Public Safety, and Health Care Authority. While the renewal doesn’t introduce any alterations to the existing orders, it does maintain the current public health directives banning guns in parks, among other measures.

A notable absence during the signing was the governor herself, with Lt. Gov. Howie Morales taking on the responsibility in her absence. The decision to renew these executive orders comes at a time when gun control measures are a subject of intense debate across the nation.

New Mexicans who follow the Constitution note that executive actions infringe upon individual rights and bypass legislative processes designed to ensure democratic decision-making, along with total ignorance of inalienable constitutional rights. Moreover, concerns have been raised about the effectiveness of labeling “gun violence” as a public health emergency and whether it is the most appropriate approach to tackling the complex social issues associated with it.

NM High Court Sets Hearing On Governor's Unconstitutonal Gun Order

The New Mexico Supreme Court has set a hearing date on the lawsuit against Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's unconstitutional "health order" suspending Second Amendment rights in Bernalillo County and Albuquerque.

The Piñon Post reported:

In New Mexico, the state Supreme Court is preparing to hear arguments concerning the scope of the governor’s authority to issue public health orders. 

The petition initiating this legal scrutiny has been filed by entities including the National Rifle Association (NRA), the Republican Party of New Mexico, and every Republican state legislator. The legal filing came after Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed a public health emergency order stripping Bernalillo County and Albuquerque residents of their right to concealed or open carry a firearm. 

During the signing of the blatantly illegal order, Lujan Grisham claimed that no constitutional right, in her view, including her oath, “is intended to be absolute.”

Alongside questioning the governor’s authority, the petition seeks clarity from the court on whether drug abuse and gun violence can be considered valid grounds for declaring a public health emergency. The New Mexico Supreme Court has slated the arguments for January 8, where these issues will be thoroughly examined.

Biden Judge Allowing Latest Grisham "Health Order"

It's funny (well, not really), I had a feeling that the judge in this matter would allow the governor's latest "health order". Therefore, I am not at all surprised.

From Piñon Post:

In a shocking development, U.S. District Judge David Urias has given the green light to enforce a public health order that suspends the right to carry guns at public parks and playgrounds in New Mexico’s largest metropolitan area. The decision comes in response to gun rights advocates’ request to block these temporary firearms restrictions during the ongoing legal challenges.

Far-left Democrat Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham sees this as a triumph for public safety, especially in light of recent shootings across the state resulting in tragic outcomes, particularly for children. The move underscores the governor’s obsession with implementing anti-gun edicts, cloaking her actions in recent tragedies.

We'll have to see what will happen next.

Grisham Modifies Stayed Order To Skirt Around Fed Judge's Stay

The woman either is not too bright or she is just plain evil.

New Mexico Gov. "Malevolent Michelle" Lujan Grisham held a press conference to announce that she's modifying her health order of last week after it was stayed by a federal judge.

From the Piñon Post:

On Friday, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham called a press conference in Bernalillo County, where she attacked Republicans critical of her unconstitutional orders while announcing she is changing the public health order released last Friday.

The move came one week after she signed an illegal order to unilaterally usurp New Mexicans’ gun rights, where she said no rights and even her oath are not “absolute.”

On Wednesday, a Joe Biden-appointed federal judge struck down her order.

The Santa Fe New Mexican reported on the conference:

But, she said at the news conference, “We have removed the requirement that open and concealed carry cannot occur until the public health order has been removed or extended anywhere in the city.”

She added the ban on carrying firearms, open or concealed, will remain in place at parks and playgrounds where families and children gather. 

Lujan Grisham acknowledged last week the gun ban would face legal challenges. Most recently, the National Rifle Association and Republican lawmakers in New Mexico filed a lawsuit Thursday in the state Supreme Court. 

Modifying the original stayed order does not make any of it legal. All facets of the stayed order remain in effect. This is just a ploy to skirt around the federal judge's stay. 

It is obvious that she does not respect the court or their decision. She needs to be impeached and removed from office. She cannot be counted on to follow the law.

Governor's Gun Ban Blocked By Federal Judge

Opponents of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's ban on open and concealed firearms carry in Bernalillo County scored a victory when a federal judge imposed a temporary stay.

The Daily Caller reported:

A federal judge temporarily blocked Democratic New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s public health order banning the carrying of guns in public, according to Reuters.

U.S. District Judge for the District of New Mexico David Urias, a Biden appointee, found the order to be unconstitutional, Reuters reported. Grisham issued the 30-day public health order banning the right to open or conceal carry guns in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County on Friday.

2A Health Order: What's Next?

Above, what will the NM State Police do? 

There's a couple of things involving this saga over the unconstitutional "health order" by Gov. "Malevolent Michelle" Lujan Grisham that I am wondering about.

So far, the courts have taken no action on the lawsuits that have been filed since last weekend. Some reports state that they act possibly as soon as this afternoon.

The second thing that is concerning is: What will the New Mexico State Police do? Will they sit this one out and refuse to enforce the unconstitutional order or will they act as the governor's personal Gestapo (as they did during the pandemic) and enforce the order and cite "violators"?

As of now, they have been silent, which is strange.

From The Truth About Guns:

There are now six lawsuits (and counting) challenging New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s public health order suspending Second Amendment carry rights in the Bernalillo County and the city of Albuquerque. While literally no local authorities are willing to enforce her clearly unconstitutional diktat, Grisham is still claiming that the New Mexico State Police will do her dirty work.

The State Police, however, have remained strangely silent on the matter and no one has been cited for any violations.

This afternoon, however, New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez delivered the latest body-blow to the Governor’s authoritarian tendencies by announcing in a letter to Grisham that his office will not be defending her in court.

Lawsuits Pile Up Against New Mexico Governor

Lawsuits against New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham are piling up.

At present, there are four of them.

According to KRQE:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is now facing four different lawsuits as gun rights advocates look to challenge the constitutionality of her new order.

All of the lawsuits are similar, arguing that the Public Health Order (PHO) goes against the United States Constitution.

“We are making sure that this never happens again,” said Luis Valdes, a spokesperson for Gun Owners of America (GOA). “We want to make sure that the right to keep and bear arms is fully protected and that there’s no further infringement upon it like what we’re seeing in New Mexico at the moment.”

GOA lawsuit suggests the Governor’s PHO violates the Second Amendment. Other lawsuits have also been filed by a former law enforcement officer and three other gun rights advocacy groups.

They all claimed the governor does not have the power to strip the right to bear arms from New Mexico residents. Further, the lawsuit argues that abiding citizens will pay the price for the health order, while criminals will continue to carry firearms.

“You have law enforcement officers who are going to follow this unconstitutional law, order, and they are then going to think anyone on the streets exercising their god-given right is a criminal,” Valdes explained.

The Bernalillo County sheriff said his department will not enforce the order. The only police agency under Grisham's control is the State Police and they haven't said anything (or maybe I missed it) yet.

NMSSA Sues The Governor

 Last evening, I received the following email from the New Mexico Shooting Sports Association:

Tonight, NMSSA sued the Governor over her order banning the carrying of firearms in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County.

We are confident in our case, and the legal team we are working with.  Please consider supporting NMSSA and our partner organizations as we continue to fight for your rights.

First Democrat Breaks Silence On MLG's Executive Order

For the past three days, I noticed that the New Mexico Democrat legislators have been dead silent on Gov. "Malevolent Michelle" Lujan Grisham's executive order on banning open and concealed carry of firearms in Bernalillo County. 

Thus far, none have come out supporting this unconstitutional action.

One has finally come out in opposition. 

Piñon Post reported:

The first Democrat legislator finally broke their silence, with state Sen. Joseph Cervantes (D-Doña Ana County) writing on Twitter, “Having passed key gun safety laws working with her administration, I call on the Governor to rescind her order outlawing arms.”

Meanwhile, Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen blasted the unconstitutional order of the the governor and said he will not enforce it.

Attacks On Rule of Law Point to Need for Off-Grid Money

It will be interesting to see how the lawsuit against Gov. "Malevolent Michelle" Lujan Grisham's executive order on guns fares.

National Association for Gun Rights said it would file the lawsuit.

Money Metals Exchange took a look at all of this and they feel this illustrates the need for off-grid money.

They begin with:

The assault on individual rights is accelerating, and investors would be wise to think about the assets they hold in a world where the rule of law is failing.

Last week, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham banned citizens from carrying firearms in Albuquerque. She was neither bothered nor slowed by recent U.S. Supreme Court affirmations of the 2nd Amendment.

Now, unless sheriffs in the state develop the backbone to stand up for citizens, gun owners in New Mexico have a tough choice to make. Those who decide they will not comply with Grisham's illegal order could be arrested and prosecuted.

Being arrested is possible and, these days, partisan attorneys general show no qualms about targeting political opponents for prosecution.

NRA-ILA On The Bernalillo County Gun Ban

The NRA-ILA posted the following on the gun ban in Bernalillo County:

Dear New Mexico NRA Member:

Late Friday, anti-gun Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced that she will attempt to institute and enforce an unconstitutional 30-day ban on open and concealed carry of firearms in public places in Bernalillo County. She apparently intends to accomplish this by administrative fiat under the guise of a public health emergency, which she declared in response to her and her political sidekick, Mayor Tim Keller's inability to control the violent crime situation in Albuquerque that is a direct result of their failed "soft on crime" policies. She also stated that State Police officers will be sent to the affected area to enforce this so-called "civil order," a violation of which would amount to misdemeanor. That would be because local law enforcement is not on board with her radical edict and are distancing themselves from this lame-duck governor while walking a political tight rope:

From the Sheriff of Bernalillo County, who was endorsed by Everytown/Moms Demand Action and who supports the state's red flag gun confiscation laws:

“While I understand and appreciate the urgency, the temporary ban challenges the foundation of our constitution, which I swore an oath to uphold,” [Sheriff John] Allen said. “I am wary of placing my deputies in positions that could lead to civil liability conflicts, as well as the potential risks posed by prohibiting law-abiding citizens from their constitutional right to self-defense.”

The Albuquerque Police Department has punted enforcement of the ban to the Lujan Grisham-controlled State Police: "The governor issued a 30-day state order that limits gun possession in Bernalillo County, including the City of Albuquerque. The governor made it clear that state law enforcement, and not APD, will be responsible for enforcement of civil violations of that order."  

This has become a chess game of accountability while your rights hang in the balance.

Lujan Grisham has demonstrated a complete disregard for the Second Amendment rights of New Mexicans and a willingness to shred the New Mexico Constitution and the U.S. Constitution in the name of a public health emergency before. NRA-ILA will keep you posted on any further developments. In the meantime, contact the Governor's office and Mayor Keller's office and let them know that it's already illegal for criminals to carry guns and that you oppose this outrageous and unconstitutional attack on the rights of law-abiding residents of Bernalillo County to protect themselves and their families.

New Mexico’s Democrat Governor Suspends Second Amendment Rights

The unconstitutional move by New Mexico Gov. "Malevolent" Michelle Lujan Grisham has attracted attention around the country.

Here is a post by the Gateway Pundit which includes a confrontation of the governor by a reporter. As one would expect from her, her responses are lame and ludicrous. Besides being unconstitutional, her "executive order" is targeting the wrong people, the law-abiding and not the criminals.

The article begins with:

In a controversial move, Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham declared gun violence a public health emergency in response to the shooting deaths of a thirteen-year-old girl on July 28, a five-year-old girl on August 14, and an eleven-year-old boy on September 6.

One of the most troubling aspects of this public health order is the temporary suspension of open and concealed carry laws in Bernalillo County effective immediately. This action directly infringes upon law-abiding citizens’ Constitutional right to bear arms. The Governor has carved out exceptions for licensed security guards and law enforcement officers.

She is claiming that constitutional rights "are not absolute", but she has the attitude that her dictatorial edicts are.  What's to stop her from extending her "health order" after 30 days like she did during the pandemic unless we do?

Lujan Grisham Issues Unconstitutional Executive Order Against 2nd Amendment

A killer of an eleven-year-old child is still on the loose and what does the governor of New Mexico do about it? She, by "executive order", is violating the constitutional rights of the people of Bernalillo County.

Again, Gov. "Malevolent" Michelle Lujan Grisham is acting like a Nazi dictator. 

KRQE reported:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham said she will enact a temporary ban on carrying firearms in any public space across Bernalillo County. The governor made the announcement during a news conference Friday.

Sitting alongside the Albuquerque Police Chief and Bernalillo County Sheriff. The governor says part of this new order is a 30-day suspension on open and concealed carry on public property for anyone other than law enforcement or licensed security. “I’ve warned everyone that we expect a direct challenge, probably as you’re writing this we’re getting a challenge, and that’s the way it should work. But I have to take a tough direct stand, or basically I’m just ignoring the fact that we lost an 11-year-old, another child,” said Gov. Lujan Grisham. 

The order is effective as of Friday, September 8, 2023, and only applies to Bernalillo County. The governor is basing the order on the county averaging more than 1,000 violent crimes per 100,000 people, and a lot of emergency room visits for gun injuries.

As for enforcement, she admits it will be “complicated” but they’re working with New Mexico State Police and district attorneys on how it will work. The governor says anyone caught breaking the order will fall under a “civil violation” connected to her public health order.

In response: 

“A child is murdered, the perpetrator is still on the loose, and what does the governor do? She throws the mayor of Albuquerque under the bus and then targets law-abiding citizens with an unconstitutional gun order. Tragically, this is what we have come to expect from an administration that refuses to take responsibility for the crime epidemic gripping our state. It is time for the governor to stop pointing fingers and admit that her soft-on-crime approach has failed and put the safety of all New Mexicans in great jeopardy.”

SENATE REPUBLICAN LEADER SEN. GREG BACA (R-BELEN)

As far as her unconstitutional executive order goes, the people of New Mexico should tell Gov. "Malevolent" Michelle Lujan to, "take your executive order and stick up your old gazoo, Michelle!"

She has no authority to suspend the constitutional rights of anyone, not even for a day. None.

New Mexico Civil Guard Activities Restricted By Judge

New Mexico Civil Guard. Now that's a name I haven't heard for a while (about a couple of years or so).

A District Judge, Elaine Lujan (What, another Lujan?! They seem to come out of the woodwork like cockroaches.) ruled against the New Mexico Civil Guard over activities during protests of of BLM and others of two years ago when they were out vandalizing statues and other private and public property.

According to the Associated Press:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The New Mexico Civil Guard has been barred from publicly acting as a military unit without authorization or assuming the role of law enforcement by using organized force at public protests or gathering, according to a newspaper.

The Albuquerque Journal reported Tuesday that District Court Judge Elaine Lujan also has banned such activity by the group’s directors, officers, agents, employees, members and any of their successor organizations and members.

Lujan granting a motion by Bernalillo County District Attorney Raúl Torrez, who told the Journal that the decision, “fundamentally represents a victory for the rule of law….We’re trying to prevent violent extremism.”

There may be some constitutional protections that support the Guard that can be used as a basis in filing an appeal over Judge Lujan's ruling. After all, the police did nothing to protect property, so somebody had to step in.

New Mexico Civil Guard Suing and Being Sued

Above, New Mexico Civil Guard logo.

It has been a while since I last saw any news about the New Mexico Civil Guard militia group.

Well, it turns out that some members are suing the city of Albuquerque for being arrested and detained by the police at an Old Town protest even though they committed no crime.

And, the Bernalillo County District Attorney is suing the New Mexico Civil Guard.

KRQE reported:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A militia group that showed up to the Juan de Oñate protest in Albuquerque last year with guns in hand is suing the city. They claim they were targeted that night by law enforcement. The New Mexico Civil Guard claims that they didn’t do anything wrong that night and believes the city zeroed in on them anyway.

About eight members of the heavily armed militia, the New Mexico Civil Guard showed up to last summer’s protest of the Juan de Oñate statue near Old Town. Now, several of them are suing the city. According to a federal lawsuit, the guard says city officials targeted them for no reason. They allege that the city was aware the Civil Guard was going to be there that night and positioned officers near the protest waiting until a Civil Guard member “committed a crime and planned to then arrest them.”

On the District Attorney's lawsuit, KRQE reported:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The lawsuit is moving forward against a local militia group for its role in a violent protest last summer. The Bernalillo County district attorney brought the suit against the New Mexico Civil Guard. Its members showed up armed to a protest against the Juan de Onate statue in Old Town saying they were there to protect the statue from the crowd.

The district attorney’s office calls the Civil Guard a right-wing extremist group and accuses its members of acting as vigilantes. “It’s just not right for any group to think they have the power to take the role of the police, take the role of the militia, or go out and threaten other citizens,” said Bernalillo County District Attorney Raul Torrez.

Bernalillo County D.A. Files Lawsuit Against New Mexico Civil Guard

It looks like Bernalillo County District Attorney Raul Torrez wants to be New Mexico's answer to California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, a noted radical leftist imbecile.

Torrez has filed a lawsuit against the New Mexico Civil Guard.

KOB 4 News reported:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- The Bernalillo County district attorney filed a lawsuit Monday against the New Mexico Civil Guard, a group that has showed up at protests in military-like uniforms, carrying guns, and telling people they are there to protect property. 

"When you have self-appointed police officers and military units out there advancing their own form of justice, there is no democratic accountability," District Attorney Raul Torrez said.  

The lawsuit asks a judge to order the New Mexico Civil Guard to stop representing itself as a police force. 

"What is affected is their ability to organize, train and operate as an unlawful group," Torrez said.  

The lawsuit also claims the group's "presence fostered and encouraged violence by counter-protestors." It specifically mentions Steven Baca, who is accused of shooting someone at a protest of a Juan de Oñate statue, and is not affiliated with the group. 

New Mexico Civil Guard leader Bryce Provance said in a KOB 4 phone interview that city leaders are trying to divert the blame away from law enforcement over how the protest was handled that night. 

"They are deflecting," he said. "The mayor and deputy chief ordered their officers not be in an area so that violence could be carried out against property against counter protestors and it backfired. Somebody got shot, and then we had to disarm the shooter, form a perimeter around him and hold him until police arrived and because of the mayor and deputy chief's ineptitude, they are going to deflect and try and charge us and sue us whatever they are going to do."

I don't see how the New Mexico Civil Guard represents themselves as a "police force". Torrez's frivolous lawsuit will likely fall flat on its face.
