I would think so, but I am unfamiliar with the Texas state constitution.
Me too!
I think this is being handled by the Texas Supreme court, so whatever they decide, a lower court won't be able to undo.
They resigned. A judge is just recognizing that they resigned.
Texas needs his “strengths”.
This was a district court judge who issued the restraining order to prevent Beto from fundraising through deception. There must be separate moves by Paxton - some at district level and at least the one with the Supreme Court. Is that right?
I just hope it works.
An update to the Texas constitution is in order.
Democrats need to taste the judicial whip. Make them pay and make it hurt.
No state should have its business held up by the willful absence of elected officials. Not one of them has ever campaigned on the use of such an uncivil tactic.
The separation of powers doctrine tells us what can be done here. This problem is located entirely within the Legislative portion of the government of the STATE of Texas. Therefore, neither the Federal government in ANY of its three branches have standing or authority to act as it is a STATE issue. In addition, neither the executive or judicial branches of the Texas STATE government have standing or authority to act as it is a LEGISLATIVE issue. Anything other than actions taken within the TEXAS STATE LEGISLATURE to resolve this issue is just political grandstanding.
But the bootees will file a lawsuit against the legislature and that will land it in the judiciary. It’s what the dems always do. The judiciary will hopefully eventually rule that only the legislature has jurisdiction but the lawfare will stall for time, and even when it is up to the legislative branch the judiciary still has to hear cases brought before it.
The quickest way would be if the judge rejects the cases because it is not justiciable but is instead a political issue. I don’t know if they can appeal rejection of a case or not.
Works for me. Wisconsin should have done it.
Not sure why the leaders of their legislature can’t declare this themselves, this part of their government is under their control, they have their rules and laws. Or if the governor has emergency abilities to declare them vacant
Without always running to a court. Run to the court if you have to, first use your powers. Courts are not superior to other branches.
So theres a precedent set that can be referred to, in another state.
