"Supreme Court Decisions on New Mexico Official and Cowboys for Trump Founder"

The Supreme Court declined to review the case of former New Mexico county commissioner Couy Griffin, who was removed from office due to his involvement in the January 6 insurrection. This decision means the ruling barring Griffin from office will stand, marking the first time an elected official was removed under the 14th Amendment's "insurrectionist ban" because of the US Capitol riot. Griffin, a prominent right-wing conspiracy theorist and convicted Capitol rioter, was disqualified from office after being found guilty of trespassing on Capitol grounds. He criticized the process that led to his disqualification and also compared his case to the similar ones against former President Donald Trump.
