Cowboys for Trump founder Couy Griffin's appeal has failed, and Judge Mathew's ruling removing him from office for engaging in insurrection prevails.

From September:

BREAKING: We won! For the first time since 1869, a public official has been ordered removed from office under the 14th Amendment for participating in the January 6th insurrection. Much more to come very soon.

Today:

BREAKING: The NM Supreme Court affirmed its dismissal of Couy Griffin's appeal, so Judge Mathew's ruling removing Griffin from office for engaging in insurrection stands. We look forward to holding more insurrectionists accountable—including Donald Trump. https://t.co/SEWSuhXyut

… Judge Mathew’s decision that the January 6th attack on the Capitol was an insurrection and that Mr. Griffin engaged in it stands. Following the ruling, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington Senior Vice President and Chief Counsel Donald Sherman released the following statement:

“The New Mexico Supreme Court’s decision means that Judge Mathew’s ruling – that Mr. Griffin engaged in insurrection on January 6th and disqualified himself from office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment – will stand. We’re pleased that the precedent set by our victory will help protect our democratic institutions from insurrectionists. We look forward to holding more insurrectionists accountable under the 14th Amendment, including Donald Trump.”
