3 Texas Court of Criminal Appeals judges fall to Ken Paxton-backed candidates on Super Tuesday

Three judges on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals were ousted by candidates endorsed by Attorney General Ken Paxton, who targeted the court after it ruled against him in a 2021 case.

Former Dallas appeals court justice David Schenck, Waco attorney Gina Parker and Richardson attorney Lee Finley were projected to defeat incumbents for the Presiding Judge, Place 7 and Place 8 seats on the state's highest criminal court, according to the Associated Press.

This year’s primary presented the first opportunity for Paxton to attempt to oust some of the eight judges who ruled in 2021 the attorney general cannot unilaterally prosecute election law violation cases without district attorney permission.

Paxton has decried the ruling for years, arguing the court stripped him of his right to prosecute what he says is rampant voter fraud in the state.

This is fantastic news. It shows that the voters are fed-up with the democrat-lite Republicans in Texas. They are not happy with what happened to Paxton in the impeachment.

Is Paxton now one of the most powerful AGs in the US?

He must be up there.

He scored some big wins last night

Trump endorsements for these judges were posted on Truth Social too. That had to help.

More good news from Texas to see that MAGA people have defeated the BUSH/RINO people from the Court of Appeals.

Paxton is a happy camper today.

These establishment RINOs have been thick in Texas for years, always siding with dems at critical points, often delaying desperately needed changes for years and in this case, protecting the big city fraud machines.

AZ and GA election results should be denied by Congress unless a successful election audit report is turned in with the slate of electors from those 2 states.
