As our lovely, amazing, well-read Twitchy readers know, Ted Lieu actually spoke out against Governor Grisham's authoritarian trample of the Second Amendment. Now, whether you think he did this because he really did think she overstepped a line OR if he's just trying to cover his own gun-grabbing arse, it was interesting to see the pushback.
I support gun safety laws. However, this order from the Governor of New Mexico violates the U.S. Constitution. No state in the union can suspend the federal Constitution. There is no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution. https://t.co/kOhLMtaOl2

And Grisham was none too happy with him ...
Hey Ted, conceal and open carry are state laws that I have jurisdiction over. If you’re really interested in helping curb gun violence, I’d welcome you to join our next police academy class. https://t.co/Odf9fNbO2W https://t.co/17ca1dYpLc

She really and truly just doesn't understand the Second Amendment. Like, at all. It's a scary thing when someone like Ted Lieu understands the Second more than you do, just sayin'.
She does not have any governing authority to suspend any state laws, proven here by her very own usage of their definition. She should be removed. https://t.co/oRMfY0af4D

True story.
Bruen says otherwise, you tyrant.

You’re not interested in curbing anything — if you were you would have acted when your Albuquerque DA dismissed repeat offender cases while the mayor gave tax $ to Dem supporters instead of answer local business calls for expanded police. https://t.co/kilg7rN7po
What a power hungry attention hound. Unfit for office, and embarrassing herself, her office, and her state. https://t.co/YqViKVhiFd

An elected official being this ignorant about the law of the land that she swore to uphold while also being this arrogant and immovably committed to her own ignorance is a bad combination. It’s dangerous to be a dumb dictator. I hope this gets fast tracked to SCOTUS quickly https://t.co/C0SnZCDXAP

Or the people can just refuse to comply.
