Supreme Court Declines to Hear Appeal in Removal of County Official Over January 6 Role
• Supreme Court declined to hear appeal of former New Mexico county commissioner Couy Griffin, who was removed from office over role in January 6 insurrection
• Griffin was first elected official ousted under 14th Amendment due to Capitol riot participation
• Earlier in March, Supreme Court sided with Trump in similar insurrectionist ban case
• Unlike Trump, Griffin had already been convicted of January 6-related misdemeanor when disqualified
• Griffin calls himself a "test case" for attempts to use 14th Amendment to disqualify Trump from office
