I wonder if Griffin will appeal this ruling; the fact that he represented himself in this proceeding probably indicates he has neither the means nor the will to do so. Regardless, a decision by this District County Judge against a defendant for participating in an "insurrection" that has not elsewhere been proven to exist means nothing to the bigger picture. Note that a federal court declined to take the case.Here is another account of this matter. This one makes it quite clear that the judge removed Griffin from office, not because of a misdemeanor, but because he aided the insurrection.
"Griffin was previously convicted in federal court of a misdemeanor for entering Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, without going inside the building. He was sentenced to 14 days and given credit for time served.
"The new ruling immediately removes Griffin from his position as a commissioner in Otero County in southern New Mexico.
'Mr. Griffin aided the insurrection even though he did not personally engage in violence,' Mathew wrote. 'By joining the mob and trespassing on restricted Capitol grounds, Mr. Griffin contributed to delaying Congress’s election-certification proceedings.'”
New Mexico bars commissioner from office for insurrection
A state district court judge has disqualified a county commissioner from holding public office for engaging in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.www.politico.com
However, the fact that the three plaintiffs were "aided" by CREW (a Washington liberal watchdog group), NAACP and Common Cause shows desperation from the Left that they would attack a county commissioner in rural New Mexico (Otero county pop. 67,000) with the aid of a liberal judge willing to declare on his own that Jan 6 was an "insurrection" so the 14th amendment could be invoked. Sadly, CREW and other groups like them will likely sniff out other cases like this in their pursuit of political persecution. Maybe there's a conservative group that will help Griffin appeal this decision to set the record straight.
You are assuming that a conviction for insurrection or other qualifying crime named in the 14th Amendment, Section 3 is required to disqualify. I'm not sure that assumption is accurate.
Your post prompted me to look a little deeper and actually read parts of the 126-page academic paper written by conservative constitutional scholars Baude and Paulsen. They said:
"What actions count as having “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the Constitution of the United States or having “given aid or comfort or the enemies thereof”? (p. 5)
"We come at last to the heart of the beast: the substance of Section Three’s prohibition. We begin (in Subpart A) with the most interesting and important set of issues—the types of misconduct that trigger Section Three. What deeds (and words?) amount to having 'engaged in' 'insurrection” or “rebellion' against the lawful authority of the Constitution and the system of government it establishes? What acts (or words?) amount to having given 'aid or comfort' to 'enemies' of lawful government under the Constitution?" (p. 62)
"... it is plain that Section Three requires no prior criminal-law conviction, for treason or any other defined crime, as a prerequisite for its disqualification to apply." (p. 68) (Emphasis mine)
We'll learn more as this morphs into a lawsuit or suits that make their way to the US Supreme Court.

A (slightly belated) #FAFO Friday to all who celebrate ...
This week saw (at least) FOUR anti-American MAGAt domestic terrorists sentenced for their parts in the January 6th insurrection:
On Thursday we had two:
Proud Boys seditious conspiracy defendant Zach Rehl - 15 years
Proud Boys seditious conspiracy defendant Joe Biggs - 17 years
Friday saw another two:
Proud Boy Domenic Pezzola (not convicted of seditious conspiracy) - 10 years
Proud Boy seditious conspiracy defendant Ethan Nordean - 18 years (tied with Oath Keepers Founder Stewart Rhodes for the longest sentence thus far)
On deck this coming Tuesday is Proud Boys Leader Enrique Tarrio (convicted of seditious conspiracy)
The Judge that oversaw the case and sentenced the individuals named above, Timothy J. Kelly, is a member of the conservative Federalist Society and was appointed to the bench by Donald John Trump.
The sentences were all substantially less than what DOJ asked for (correctly IMO) ... but hopefully will still serve as an effective deterrent, for any similarly-situated delusional miscreants and assorted morons who have similar thoughts and inclinations for the future.

Dreck?
Lol lol
I'm sure our all loving, truth telling, concerned about the less fortunate EO members won't be too quick to mention this.
With these conviction and over 1,000 others, the deterrent effect of the Jan 6 sentences is working. Trump's calls for his supporters to protest have gone mostly unanswered. So much so that he has stopped making the embarrassing calls.
Or they'll figure out a way to reveal the hidden truth that this judge is a Disney watching secret trans in a robe, not a real judge and not a real Federalist Society member. And it wasn't even Trump who appointed him, but a non-existent group of Democrats who by means of an unknown deal previously made under a non-existent law, are able to appoint judges that Trump did not appoint, but still call them Trump appointees.

As usual, MSNBC has published their own truth, which appears to be in direct conflict with the GA Open Records Act. Of all the liberal media outlets, MSNBC is the worst possible source for reliable, unbiased information.

Kind of makes you wonder how happy of a life outside of EO they have. To live in a constant state of complaint is unimaginable to most.
