Brian Benoit of Los Lunas comments on the banning of a citizen — Mike Wood — from Valencia County Commission meetings:

It looks from here like Mike’s constitutional rights are about to be restored, which I think we would agree, is a good thing.

There remain, what are for me, some troubling legal issues. How can the president of the VC Board, an attorney and presumably, a member of the Bar, ignore The Constitution of The United States, and the Constitution of the State of New Mexico with impunity? How can the VC County Counsel (Commission Counsel?), also an attorney, and presumably a member of the Bar, ignore the same documents, and advise the Commissioners to ignore the same documents, also with impunity?

When I moved to New Mexico a couple of years ago, nobody explained to me that New Mexico is a state where laws are, at least in some cases, completely ignored.

District Court has at least temporarily allowed Wood to again attend county meetings.
