A divided federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., upheld a trespassing charge and conviction Tuesday against Jan. 6 defendant Couy Griffin. The charge has been used against more than 1,400 rioters at the U.S. Capitol.
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.
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.
Yes, absolutely. I was just saying you can’t bar every mouth breather that rioted because most never held office.
