PING!
I am, as a Texan, very proud of this achievement.

The nations of the world should look upon this moment in Texas to truly understand the meaning of the United States of America.
Any human being, regardless of origin, is given the equal opportunity to achieve what he or she is capable of achieving.
There is no where else on earth where this is possible in in a form so pure as America.
It is a system that is worthy of envy and imitation.
Thank you for posting this. When I adopted Texas as my home state 27 years ago, I wouldn't have thought this momentous occasion would be possible. Texas is so much more complex, diverse, and advanced than what the east coast elite think of us. I was born in Boston, worked and lived in DC for 22 years and came to TX as soon as I could.
Do you come from or live in Swinney Switch. Great people live there.
God willing, the United States will also have a black Chief Justice when William Rehnquist retires: Clarence Thomas.
Good riddance to Tom Phillips, the biggest RINO scalawag piece of trash in Texas government.
I need some feedback. I am hoping and assuming that slimeball Democrat running for Supreme Court in Texas, David van Os, tied to Memogate was pounded in the general election. Tell me I'm correct.
