Three months later, a New Mexico judge ordered Griffin to leave public office immediately. It was the first time an elected official had been removed for rebellion against the United States since the Civil War. Griffin was also "barred for life" from holding any public office in the future under the Constitution's "insurrection clause" in the Fourteenth Amendment.

So they are aware this exists.

Couy Boy Griffin is such a hoser. "Barred for Life", how's that feel? And yes, this should be applied ALL the J6ers, incl. the "mastermind" #45.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

It's worded so they have to have sworn an oath/held office prior to the insurrection to be barred for life.

Doesn’t trump fall under this tough? He swore to uphold the constitution in his oath of office at Inauguration day.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Yes, absolutely. I was just saying you can't bar every mouth breather that rioted because most never held office.

[-] j4k3@lemmy.world 54 points 8 months ago

That was no riot. That was a failed coup

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 46 points 8 months ago

It was a terrorist attack.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

Let's just be generous to them and say it was all three.

[-] scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 18 points 8 months ago

Good, can we just send all the degenerates to deep space now

[-] ThermonuclearCactus 3 points 8 months ago

No, there's already enough junk floating around up there.

[-] scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

What about a collapsing star?

[-] ThermonuclearCactus 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah that would probably work

[-] rauls4@lemm.ee 15 points 8 months ago

Willing to bet that man has never touched a cow.

[-] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 12 points 8 months ago

That would be Couy Griffin former representative of part of New Mexico, and founder of Cowboys for Trump, now he is just a felon.

[-] rauls4@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

So, has he ever touched a cow?

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 9 points 8 months ago

Probably inappropriately.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I'm sure he's touched the inside of a cow many times. At his favorite steakhouses. And he probably puts ketchup on them like his hero.

Do the time.
