Only parties named in the District Court have standing to appeal, and I don't know who that was. It was probably the DPS, the State of Texas, and Tom Craddick.

The Attorney General will almost certainly appeal this ruling on their behalf. The only argument against appealing is that the decision has no practical effect at the moment.

Thanks, DG !

The only argument against appealing is that the decision has no practical effect at the moment.

It sure sets a bad precedent though. Leaves the door WIDE open for the 'RATS WHEN/if they decide to obstruct again. 'Hey, the court gave us a pass last time. Let's desert our duty again. The GOP can't stop us.' Right ?

Appeal on principle. The higher court should set it straight. OR, if they don't, it will show the legislature that they might want to pass a law with ENFORCEMENT TEETH to stop this kind of cr** !! For heaven sakes. The constitution says it's up to the House powers that be to round 'em up, anyway !
