New Mexico Supreme Court ENDS Woke Judge's LIFE!
A Texas man is sentenced to 15 years in prison for stabbing his twin sister to death while claiming he was sleepwalking. The New Mexico Supreme Court overturns a woman's murder conviction, ruling that the trial was tainted by severe prosecutorial misconduct. Prosecutors accused her of witchcraft.

The United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) along with its partner Delta Defense LLC purport to pay their members legal expenses if the member is involved in a use-of force event. Indeed, their sophisticated internet advertising campaigns frequently feature CEO Tim Schmidt assuring the public that "We've got your back!"In recent years, however, USCCA has refused to meet that apparent obligation to its members. When asked about this the organization has either provided no particularly substantive reasons--e.g., "we just feel we're not obligated to do so"--or has made up an outrageously not credible explanation months after the fact--e.g., "actually that member preferred we not help them."It is for these reasons that I'm personally unable to recommend USCCA in good faith to anybody seeking legal services coverage in a use-of-force context.That said, there DO EXIST scenarios in which it would arguably be appropriate for ANY use-of-force legal services company to decline to provide coverage--and we'll explore one of those scenarios in the context of a recent New Mexico Supreme Court decision.If THIS had been USCCA's explanation for its repeated failure to cover its members, they'd have had a point. Too bad for them, however, that this was NOT their explanation.THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there.

This week on the podcast, Lou DiVizio updates some state headlines including a grand jury indictment of a Las Cruces Police Officer in the shooting of an unarmed black man accused of stealing a single can of beer from a gas station. Last month, the New Mexico Supreme Court handed Republicans a defeat when the justices ruled that the state's redrawn congressional map was constitutional. The case began in early 2022, when the GOP filed a lawsuit alleging state Democrats drew new lines for District 2 in a way that weakened the voting power of residents, mostly in southern New Mexico. Last October, District Court Judge Fred Van Soelen found that Democrats intentionally tried to dilute Republican votes in District 2, but that those efforts did not "rise to the level of an egregious gerrymander." The Supreme Court agreed.

Paul was shocked over the Holiday to receive a Thanksgiving card (taxpayer funded of course) from the Gov. Over the Thanksgiving weekend I discovered (the hard way) the Rail Runner app has incorrect information on it. VP Kamala Harris uses a gas stove posing with her husband on social media. Job growth in the energy sector is NOT a win for the economy. In the wake of the EIB's decision I wrote a piece outlining why their plan simply cannot work. Conservative ABQ City councilor Dan Lewis and a majority of the Council recently voted to reform the City's unelected air board, sadly Mayor Keller vetoed their legislation.

The New Mexico Supreme Court ruled: people have a constitutional right to be on public water flowing over privately owned land. But just because the high court says so, doesn't mean every landowner is removing fences and ‘no trespass' signs. Why is this topic seemingly so divisive? Will there be more lawsuits filed over river access?

NMiF Senior Producer Lou DiVizio opens the show with headlines from around the state, including perspective from a New Mexico community downwind from the nuclear testing site in the southern New Mexico desert, after the release of the Hollywood blockbuster 'Oppenheimer.' Then, Lou catches up with Daniel Libit, an investigative and enterprise reporter for Sportico, who's been following the criminal case against former UNM athletic director Paul Krebs. This interview was recorded Wednesday (7.19.23). A jury Friday found Paul Krebs not guilty on two felony counts of embezzlement. Lou asks why this case rose to the level of criminal charges when so many other collegiate scandals don't. And the two discuss how this trial could impact the secretive nature within many universities. Gene Grant discusses the recent $485 million jury award on behalf of an 8-year-old girl. The lawsuit, first filed in 2019, alleges a non-profit company called Familyworks, licensed by the state Children, Youth and Families Department, placed the girl in the care of Clarence Garcia, who allegedly raped her repeatedly. The lawsuit also alleges Familyworks knew about prior accusations of sexual assault against Garcia. Gene asks the panel how something like this was allowed to happen — and if the state should carry any responsibility. A recent ruling from the New Mexico Supreme Court could set the stage for changes to political redistricting in the state. The justices weighed in on a lawsuit brought by the state Republican Party and others challenging the new congressional districts drawn by the Democrat-controlled state Legislature. But the decision could impact another case too — a lawsuit brought by the Navajo Nation, alleging San Juan County Commissioners packed Native American voters into a single district. New Mexico in Focus Correspondent Gwyneth Doland caught up with two people familiar with these cases to ask what impact the outcomes could have on future elections.

Gene Grant and the Line Opinion Panel explore the influence of lobbying in the state legislature. Gene asks if special interests have too much power in the Roundhouse and if two failed disclosure bills would have increased transparency. Then, the Panel discusses the relationship between our state government and the oil and gas industry as the EPA fines two producers for continued violations of the clean air act. Finally, as a citizens' commission votes on a proposal to increase pay for Albuquerque's city councilors and mayor.

In a major victory for public access, the Supreme Court of the United States has declined to hear arguments from landowners who claimed that a New Mexico court ruling upholding the public's right to access rivers and streams that flow over private property amounted to an impermissible government taking.The supreme court on Monday denied a petition filed by Chama Troutstalkers, LLC and Z&T Cattle Co., LLC. The companies' owners, who have ties to Texas, had asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review last year's decision by the New Mexico Supreme Court upholding public access to rivers and streams.The New Mexico Supreme Court issued a written decision on Sept. 1 reaffirming the longstanding right of New Mexicans to walk or wade on the streambeds of water that flows over privately owned lands for fishing or other recreation. “We hold that the public has the right to recreate and fish in public waters and that this right includes the privilege to do such acts as are reasonably necessary to effect the enjoyment of such right,” the New Mexico Supreme Court stated in its unanimous opinion.The New Mexico Supreme Court ruling came in response to a legal challenge brought by the New Mexico Wildlife Federation, the Adobe Whitewater Club and the New Mexico Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers. The groups had challenged a regulation adopted by the New Mexico State Game Commission that went into effect in 2017 that purported to allow landowners to close streams over their properties.Seth T. Cohen, a Santa Fe lawyer, is among the lawyers who represented the NMWF and other groups. Cohen said Monday that the supreme court's denial of the landowners' petition to review the state court ruling is a great outcome for all who enjoy recreating on New Mexico's rivers. “It preserves the New Mexico Supreme Court's ruling affirming the public's constitutional right to use our rivers for recreation,” Cohen said. “This should hopefully put an end to the efforts by a fortunate few to privatize New Mexico's rivers.” Jesse Deubel, executive director of the NMWF, said preserving the right of public access to public waters in New Mexico is vitally important. “New Mexico is a dry state and there's increasing demand for recreation on our rivers and streams,” Deubel said. “The New Mexico Wildlife Federation and our allies won't stand by and watch our public waters be fenced off to become private playgrounds exclusively for the wealthy.”Deubel expressed appreciation for the work of Cohen, Santa Fe lawyer Gene Gallegos and the O'Melveny and Myers law firm in California. “Our lawyers did a tremendous service for the people of the state of New Mexico,” Deubel said. “Other states in the West have seen their own state governments stand up for the rights of citizens to use public waters, but in New Mexico the burden fell to our organizations. We very much appreciate all the work that our attorneys have done.”In ruling for public stream access, the NM Supreme Court has emphasized that it wasn't recognizing a new right, but rather restating its longstanding position. It noted in its ruling last year that it already had addressed the public's right to access the waters of the state in its 1945 landmark case, State ex rel. State Game Commission v. Red River Valley Co.In the 1945 case, the court recognized the public's right to use streams and streambeds where they run through private property as long as the public doesn't trespass across private land to access the waters, or trespass from the stream onto private land. The court noted that under the Indian, Spanish and Mexican law that governed New Mexico before statehood, everyone had the right to fish in streams. The game commission regulation purported to allow landowners to get certificates from the game commission that “non-navigable” rivers and streams that cross their private property were private water and closed to the public. The commission had granted five applications from out-of-state landowners to certify waters as “non-navigable” on New Mexico waterways, including stretches of the Rio Chama and Pecos River.The New Mexico Supreme Court ruled that the game commission regulation and the “non-navigable” certificates the commission had issued were void because they violated the state constitution.For more info:New Mexico Wildlife FederationSpecial thanks:National Wildlife Federation
Jesse Deubel, Executive Director of the New Mexico Wildlife Federation joins Aaron Kindle for short discussion following today's (2/27/23) historic decision where the United States Supreme Court declined to review the New Mexico Supreme Court's ruling from last fall that affirmed the right of New Mexicans to walk or wade on the streambeds of water that flows over privately-owned lands. This means that it remains legal to walk or wade New Mexico's streams and cements the victory of public access to those streams. Congratulations to the New Mexico Wildlife Federation and to all the public lands and waters users who will continue to benefit from this decision! https://nmwildlife.org/us-supreme-court-declines-to-hear-challenge-to-nm-stream-access-ruling/

New Mexico's unelected Environmental Improvement Board has adopted a new "clean car rule" at the urging of Gov. Lujan Grisham. California's (and New Mexico's) standards will require roughly 7% of new cars sold to be zero emission in 2025. In the 3rd quarter of 2021 zero emission vehicles amounted to just 2.29% of new vehicle sales in New Mexico. So, those sales will need to just more than triple from Q3 of 2021 to 2025. The rule could get much more restrictive soon as California Gov. Gavin Newsom has issued an executive order ordering the end the sale of gas-powered cars in California by 2035. California's own unelected board is expected to hold a vote on final adoption of that in August. If California enacts this rule, 35% of new cars, SUVs and small pickups sold in California (and thus New Mexico) must be zero-emission starting with 2026 models, then increasing yearly, reaching 51% of all new car sales in 2028, 68% in 2030 and 100% in 2035. Of those, 20% can be plug-in hybrids. Another delay for Virgin Galactic as their stock market continues to drop. New Mexico's loan ban was based on false information. A new report from Illinois which adopted a similar law show the number of lenders and loans available to low-income customers has dropped dramatically. Questions remain for New Mexico's future electricity reliability. PNM had proposed to build a 280-megawatt “peaking” natural gas plant – which can rapidly ramp up and down as needed – alongside new renewable generation but that has not been built due to PRC opposition. The Avangrid/PNM merger remains alive with an appeal to the New Mexico Supreme Court, but the real strategy seems to be to wait for MLG to put pro-merger people on PRC before she leaves office. ABQ City councilor proposes “living lots” for local homeless, Paul and Wally have some thoughts. New Mexico's new sick leave mandate takes effect on July 1, but we STILL don't have a final rule. According to a new Tax Foundation report New Mexico's sales tax is very broad, 2nd most broad among US states (to Hawaii). Early voting at county clerk offices begins (today) May 10. Paul has recently interviewed the four main GOP candidates for Gov. and both candidates for CD 1 here and here (all of which are contested).

New Mexico passed a law in 2015 that unintentionally resulted in two public rivers now being fenced off from public use by private landowners.

The Line opinion roundtable offers reactions and insight on the New Mexico Supreme Court's recent decision that gas stations have a duty to refuse to sell fuel to drunk drivers. Under the ruling, businesses could be held liable if a drunk driver then injures someone. The NM Supreme Court made the decision in the wake of a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of a man killed by an intoxicated driver who had run out of gas, walked to a station for a small amount, then returned to fill up before causing the deadly accident. The Line panel also explores the ethics complaint filed against Attorney General Hector Balderas over his handling of a proposed merger for the Public Service Company of New Mexico. Avangrid, the company looking to acquire PNM, hired Marcus Rael, Jr., who is a close friend and frequent contract attorney for Balderas. The Line also looks at the balance of such deals, which are supposed to weigh the costs and benefits to shareholders against those of ratepayers. And, the group discusses the challenges around public financing of political campaigns, as demonstrated in the current Albuquerque mayor's race, where challenger Manny Gonzales has been denied public money due to forged signatures and other documents. Should the presence of some non-matching signatures disqualify potentially thousands of other valid ones?

The New Mexico Supreme Court recently overturned a Court of Appeal's decision requiring evidence of actual endangerment in aggravated fleeing cases. In State v. Vest, S-1-SC-37210 (May 27, 2021), the New Mexico Supreme Court held that a defendant may be convicted of aggravated fleeing without proving that there was another person actually in the vicinity of the pursuit.

The Line opinion panel reacts to a unanimous decision this week from the New Mexico Supreme Court denying financial compensation from the state to businesses affected by the COVID-19 public health order. The court's decision came five months after the first oral arguments were heard in roughly 20 lawsuits by businesses seeking relief. The panel examines the finer legal points of the issue. The group also discusses Sen. Martin Heinrich's call to have open and honest discussions about unidentified flying objects and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. The Pentagon is expected to release a report later this month on these unexplained phenomena. Will the report reveal long-held secrets or be, as news account predict, inconclusive? The truth is still out there. And finally, the Line panelists take a closer look at the committee charged with bringing fairness to the process of redrawing political boundaries after each Census count. The redistricting panel has all been appointed, but critics say it lacks geographic and cultural diversity – there is only one woman on the committee, and no Native American representation.
