Kids do that, I'd be cancelling all their electronics. Cancel the bill.
Cancel the device with a sledgehammer.

Just caught up with it this evening . . . deliberately dropped out on a Friday night, just like last last week. I expect the lawsuits in progress will have motions and some may be filed this weekend.

She dropped her demand. She needs to take a civics class.

She dropped her demand. She needs to take a civics class.

She needs to take a long walk off a short pier

I hope the lawsuits can continue on somehow.
I don’t root for the lawyers very often!

 

[actaeon277]

Maybe someone at a press conference should point out she is not a "leader".
She is a "servant".

And the rules of her EMPLOYMENT are set forth in the State/Federal Constitution.

This **** never ends.

Nothing that makes law firms rich ever ends, it's an axiom of modern times.

Well, since overstepping politicians don't have to pay litigation..

Many of the parks in ABQ you wouldn’t want to go to anyway, and definitely not take your kids to. Most definitely would want a firearm if you ventured into some of them!!

I realize this is not a solution (not going to a park), but a prior problem.

She thinks this amending of her demand makes it…….less unconstitutional? It’s for the children, says the women at the top of the state that wants to be #1 in late term abortions.

Makes sense!

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday issued an emergency public health order that suspends the open and permitted concealed carry of firearms in Albuquerque for 30 days in the midst of a spate of gun violence.

The Democratic governor said she is expecting legal challenges but felt compelled to act in response to gun deaths, including the fatal shooting of an 11-year-old boy outside a minor league baseball stadium this week.

The firearms suspension is tied to a threshold for violent crime rates that only the Albuquerque area currently meets. Police are exempt from the temporary ban on carrying firearms.
Lujan Grisham said the restrictions “are going to pose incredible challenges for me as a governor and as a state.”

Is anyone other than me thinking, "Test Run"?

That needs to change. When politicians pass blatantly unconstitutional edicts*, they need to be held personally responsible. Like when her AG said "I'm out. you overstepped so I wont defend you. if you need a lawyer, pay for your own".

Its one thing for them to try grey areas. But when they are doing stuff that is CLEARLY unconstitutional, there should be more penalties beyond the "threat" of impeachment, which is highly unlikely. So making them put skin in the game seems appropriate.
Like when Biden said out loud "I know this EO is not constitutional. But I did it anyway so that we could at least get 3 or 4 weeks of what I want before the courts put a stop to it. It wont last, but at least it is something." (paraphrased)

* EOs, laws, etc.

exactly.

But then... who decides what is "clearly"?
And will it be weaponized?

Yep. I'm sure this New Mexican dwingle thought what she was doing was "clearly" constitutional. Delusions often run very deep and are hard to overcome.

And yes, it would be "weaponized" in today's political clime.

Stefani Lord is our rep up in the East Mountains of Sandia Park. She is a biker chic, gun toting bad ass.

I heard on local news that the Republicans had over 40 “ crime “ bills that they presented last legislative session and not a single one got voted on and most never got out of committee. But we got a gun safety storage law where if your kid gets one of your guns and commits a crime with it, YOU CAN AND LIKELY WILL BE CHARGED WITH THE SAME CRIME.

It went thru.

I would imagine it would. DOn;t know if it really helps for non New Mexico residents to do that or not. If too many of us do that it might be characterized by her supporters as "outside influence".
