If any of you are from New Mexico or know of people impacted by this, please remind them that New Mexico has a highly unusual clause in its state Constitution: https://casetext.com/rule/new-mexico-court-rules/new-mexico-rules-of-criminal-procedure-for-the-district-courts/article-3-pretrial-proceedings/rule-5-302b-citizen-grand-jury-proceedings-effective-until-december-31-2022#:~:text=Under%20Article%20II%2C%20Section%2014,registered%20voters%20of%20the%20county.
Citizen petition to convene a grand jury. Under Article II, Section 14 of the New Mexico Constitution, the district court shall order a grand jury to convene upon the filing of a petition signed by not less than the greater of two-hundred (200) registered voters or two percent of the registered voters of the county.
Rather than being beholden to a Democrat DA or Prosecutor to bring wholely deserved charges against the governor, all you need are 200 signatories to convene a grand jury and haul her grabber ass into court on criminal charges.
This needs to be done. She needs to be crucified for what she tried to do here. Life in prison, penniless from fines for violating every persons' Constitutional rights. They should bring back the death penalty in New Mexico just for this case.
It says THE GREATER of two-hundred (200) registered voters or two percent of the registered voters of the county. The 200 is a minimum requirement in a county where 2% of the population is less than 200 (which would be a population of 10,000). I imagine you would need quite a few more than 200 signatures in most counties.
I also wonder what would actually happen if you theoritically forced the grand jury to convene. Does it not still go to the local DA to prosecute? I admit I don't know, but I assume it would.
Wow.. Of all states, that's surprising.
TY.
