“The AG has no power under the Texas Constitution to represent the state in criminal prosecutions without the consent of the DA or county attorney.”
And what happens when it’s murder and the DA takes a pass on the case because he’s best buddies with the accused? The guy gets away with it?
What is your suggestion? We let public officials who do not have the power to bring criminal prosecutions, bring criminal prosecutions?
Do you see possible complications with that? Is the AG the the only public official who can bring criminal prosecutions they don't have the power to bring? Can a Soros DA decide my local DA isn't doing it right, and bring criminal prosecutions in my county?
Yes. The people should probably elect DAs who don’t do that. Judges dont get to rewrite the constitution just because they don’t like the outcome.
Conservatives know that the constitution means what it says. Progressives believe it means whatever they think it needs or ought to say. Don’t be a progressive.
