New Mexico Gov.: An Interesting Possibility

[Laughing Wolf ht HotAir] Präsident der Republik Grisham has earned two posts here recently (one here and one here) with her overweening arrogance and complete disregard for the Constitution and law. For all that it would be easy to believe the latest act (after all, this is a creature that closed grocery stores as part of overly draconian lockdown restrictions), is just more totalitarian rule, Jeff Goldstein (aka Protein Wisdom) has a different take. One thing I’ve learned over the years is to carefully consider such takes from him.

His take is that the act is orchestrated and meant to fail, for a reason. The idea being to set up a basis to claim or create a federal "right" to such an emergency mandate via the 10th amendment. As he notes, shades of Woodrow Wilson. Progressives are already jumping in to say ’why not’ do so.

My own hope remains that this gets shot down thoroughly and completely, and that Grisham faces severe official and unofficial sanctions as a warning to others. The cynic in me doubts that will happen, but one can still hope as without such I fear others will only be emboldened. I also hope Jeff is wrong, or that as this issue is being dealt with in the courts, steps can be taken to eliminate any effort to try to do a federal end-run via the 10th.

Oh, two quick things. For those wondering, the title I use for her was the title for the president of East Germany. Seems fitting. For those wondering why I’m not considering NM when I look at moving the the SW, it’s her actions, the simps and gimps of the legislature who went along with them, and the fact that she was voted back into office (similar to human petri dish High Tax Holcomb) by the people who’s rights and liberties she trampled during the lockdowns. No thanks.

#1 New Mexico is a beautiful state. Too bad the people make CA look conservative. The mask signs were still up earlier this year at the gas stations. Only the workers and locals were wearing them. This state is the "Official" nanny state and they love for the government to take care of them. AZ is trapped between to loser states.

#2 10th Amendment approach was nullified by the 14th Amendment -

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

States can not shut down basic Constitutional rights. Been tried and always slapped down in the end.

I’m not considering NM when I look at moving the the SW

That's fine. Just understand that NM is among the bottom 3 states in economic ranking. It's harder to be evil when you don't have the resources to make it happen. Their greenie brigade does a good job keeping it way by obstructing the exploitation of natural resources.

#3 BTW, we're not California yet. We've had a wave of retail raiding/theft. Our Donk legislature quickly passed this year a change in the law that puts the value of felony at $700 - accumulated not a single offense. They've been rounding up the thieves.
