Attorney General Ken Paxton on Friday lost his last-minute bid for a court injunction to prevent the federal government from transferring its oversight of internet registrations to an international body.
Hours before the transition was set to take effect, a federal judge in Galveston ruled against Paxton and three other state attorneys general who had asked him to temporarily halt the transfer while they pursue a lawsuit challenging it. The four sued the federal government late Wednesday after Republicans in Congress, led by U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, failed to halt the transfer.
The ruling by Judge George C. Hanks Jr. came after a hearing in Galveston that lasted more than an hour. His reasoning was not immediately known.

When the time comes that we need alt networks the details on how to connect and use them will be common knowledge.
At least Cruz has been on the right side of issues like this one.
He has been wiling to shut down the government to stop atrocities like this. If we had a few more like him, things would be much better.
Some people around here can’t tell the difference between radical leftists like the Obamas and Clintons, milquetoast moderate Republicans who give them everything they want, and conservatives with flaws like Ted Cruz who are on the right side of the struggle.
