Supreme Court Lets Public Office Ban Stand for ‘Cowboys for Trump’ Founder
Quick Glance: Supreme Court Rejects Appeal by Former New Mexico County Commissioner
  • The Supreme Court rejected an appeal from a former New Mexico county commissioner who was removed from office due to his participation in the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.

  • Former commissioner Couy Griffin, known for his support of Donald Trump, received the first disqualification under the 14th Amendment, sparking potential repercussions for other officials involved in the Capitol attack.

  • The ruling in Griffin's case could set precedents for holding state and local elected officials accountable for their roles in the January 6 insurrection.

  • Griffin's appeal contested the state court's authority to enforce the anti-insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment and urged the Supreme Court to clarify the definition of 'insurrection' in relation to the events of January 6.
