Dallas Judges Shred Constitution, Steal Millions

He gets a full federal pension from the United States and he gets salary from the state of Texas. There is a loophole for federal judges where they can receive a full federal pension and receive a 2nd salary as long as the 2nd salary is in the field of education.

Thanks for that additional information - would make sense why he would take the academic job, where he hasn’t done a very good job.

I heard him speak at a CLE a couple of years ago. He didn’t do a very good job there, either.

You are right to wonder how much of this is true. I took the trouble to download (from Westlaw) the series of legal documents that describe the full facts of the case described by the poster. I’ll probably open myself to a lot of abuse by saying this, but here’s my opinion:
I’d be the last one to deny that federal judges can sometimes be high-handed and abusive. That said, the original poster has, in my opinion, given a very misleading characterization of the facts in this saga. To say the least, Mr. Baron seems to have engaged in rather abusive legal tactics and, thus, justifiably raised the hackles of the judges concerned. There’s a venerable old saying, “you reap what you sow.” My advice is to take the original account here with, not a grain of salt, but a five-pound bag of salt. It was a highly partisan account. We cheapen our ability to condemn genuine abuses by disseminating, or accepting at face value, complaints that play fast and loose with the facts. My two cents!

"This takes place in Texas, a state with Republican governors."

And a state where the Speaker of the Republican-majority House is a dyed-in-the-wool RINO elected by the Dimocrat minority and a handful of other RINOs...

Thanks for replying.

That was kind of my point. There is no organized movement to stop Liberalism, certainly not the Republican party.

I've come to realize over the past few years that the type of people that are on this forum make up a tiny minority of the country, from an ideological standpoint.

The Republican party knows this and that is why it has not stopped the constant movement to the Left by the country.
