No governor short of declaring Martial Law for a REAL EMERGENCY has the right to suspend or even brush up against all or even the smallest part of the Constitution. The solution for her 'emergency' is for local authorities to arrest the perpetrators.

I've been under this many times: In times of disaster or civil unrest, a declaration of emergency is more common than a declaration of martial law because it is easier to reverse. An emergency declaration allows the government to expand its powers temporarily to deal with a crisis, suspending some civil liberties but avoiding military control. Wiki

She doesn't just get to decide to curtail rights because her job is too hard.

As a Governor, she does have that power, which she can't use lightly - politics,etc.

This is clearly an impeachable offense, and she needs to be removed from office. Amd any police officer or official who goes along with it should be fired.

I'm not sure if NM has the ability to recall a Governor, but that might be a route. If you want a spate of lawsuits, fire officials who follow it. You'll lose too.

The 2nd Amendment isn't going anywhere.

No, but we can get saner interpretations of it.
