...Supremes rule on a J6-Jackass issue......

[Chillicothe]

The following reportage was posted up in a recent very long thread; however, I think it has the legs to stand on its own. Most especially, as this 'insurrection' issue has been circulating with several states' attemp bar Don Trump from the POTUS ballot....or likely, from any elective office whatsoever.

So this Supreme Court ruling must be considered as part of that whole matrix.

"Speaking of January 6th.

Well, the Supremes just made a notable ruling.
They declined to hear a case brought by a New Mexico county commissioner who was unhappy for being removed from his position for his participation in January 6th Jackassery at the Capitol.

Here's reportage:

"In a decisive move that may have repercussions for other state and local officials embroiled in the fallout from the January 6th Capitol attack, the Supreme Court declined to take up the appeal of Couy Griffin, co-founder of “Cowboys for Trump” and former Otero County Commissioner, effectively endorsing his removal from office. Griffin’s removal was due to his involvement in the January 6 insurrection, as concluded by New Mexico’s judicial system under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment—a provision that disqualifies individuals from holding office if they engage in insurrection against the United States.

Ignore all that "attachment" junk at the bottom of the OP.
They are detritus from a clumsy attempt to cut & past from the other aforementioned thread.
Not relevant to this OP.

Well, A. Phart, I kinda thought it was informative and relevant for those who are interested in the legal dynamism that is following the January 6th violent attack on our elected Representatives at the Capitol.

If is not relevant to you.....OK.
No harm, no foul.

I believe now we are living in alternate universe from Republicans. Trump calls the jailed insurrectionists patriots. And he asks for a moment of silence at his rallies as they play the star spangled banner and trump salutes.

He's saluting traitors.

Here's what blows my mind. Today, Trump is calling the insurrectionists in jail patriots and political prisoners. Doesn't he remember condemning them?

The day after Jan. 6, 2021, then-President Donald Trump denounced the rioters who violently stormed the Capitol building, breaking through barricades, battling law enforcement and sending members of Congress — who were set to formally certify his reelection loss — running for their lives.

“Like all Americans, I am outraged by the violence, lawlessness and mayhem,” he said in a video, condemning what he called a “heinous attack.”
