A little street justice is clearly -- if not morally -- required here.

The problem here is not liberalism but cronyism, a control of a county by a few well connected families. No Democrat has carried the county since Lyndon Johnson. This is a real life Boss Hogg situation. Judge Worthington and her father have controlled the court for a half century. This is why members of the Texas Legislature from districts where the Democrats have been almost nonexistent in this century support moderate positions like letting the Democrats control committees in the state House of Representatives. Members of established families find MAGA or before that the Tea Party more of a threat than urban Democrats.
