How in the heck can a judges ruling be 'confirmed' by an opponent??? The Houston Chronicle is a silly lib-rag.
I was wondering the same thing.I guess it'[s because democRATS are the Keepers of Everything True,Honest and Moral.
The Democratic Party was who sued, so their lawyers would likely have an actual copy of the ruling, so it does actually make sense that they would be in a position to confirm the report.
It's still not a particularly well worded or useful statement in the article.
What the samhill is a "lightening rod?" We don't have them in Pennsylvania, home of Ben Franklin, who invented the lightning rod.
I assume that a "lightening rod" is a rod which makes things lighter. (Q: How do you make a boat a cigarette lighter?)
So the Houston Chronicle can't punctuate and can't spell?
