This is literally what the civil war was fought over. Southern states making shitty laws and attempting to enforce them over the will of northern states. The south lost the first time, and they’ll lose again.
I was raised not far from where William T Sherman was born.
I feel a strong urge for southern BBQ and a nice stroll coming on. I might go visit the sea.
The hospital won’t fit in the jail, its a much bigger building.
Big if true
but… if they build prisons and jails like they do high school football stadiums…
Then maybe we could get my private prison friends and your construction contractor friends and put all this tax money in each other’s pockets.
On a real note, if you haven’t yet, check in with your local elections and always make sure to vote in them. Republicans usually have better turn out in them and they are key to diminishing the power these chucklefucks wield.
He’s not even thinking this through to a logical end. If this is legal (and I really doubt it is) wouldn’t that mean that Texans can be sued by anyone in a state with more restrictive gun laws if a gun sold in Texas ended up being used in a crime elsewhere? What about training? Ammunition?
What a buffoon.
This isn’t about logic, it’s about posturing for their base.
If these pricks had logic and reasoning then they wouldn’t be conservatives.
Or they would be doing exactly what they are doing. They are morally bankrupt not stupid.
Attorney’s for the hospital have not been available for comment, as they’re still recovering from the laughter.
Luckily it’s a hospital and laughter is the best medicine, so they are not expected to be out of action for long.
Seattle should pass a law that requires Houston residents pay property tax to Seattle and then seize homes with unpaid taxes and sell them to recoop any unpaid taxes.
Why not?
Suing women who need life saving abortions, taking the sitting president off of the state’s ballot, suing hospitals to persecute trans people…
This is a busy little fucker.
How does he even find time for securities fraud?!

I believe the ballot thing was Dan Patrick, the lieutenant Governor and another one of our all around

TX = midling 20% average participation by youth Vote. Anything which doesn’t directly address that is blowing smoke, so just ignore that an 8-12 point increase in that number would mean no more R State wide.
Texas showing once again that they’re for state sovereignty, smaller government and individual freedoms.
Maybe the Texas AG should focus on why they keep charging grade schoolers for felonies and arresting them without a guardian present because they’re supposedly all about ‘protecting the children’, right?
I’m starting to think that the US may need to invade Texas.
Good luck with that, Magoo
What a fucking loser.
Refer to “Arkell v Pressdram” is the only reasonable response to the indicted fraudster Ken Paxton.
I did not realize that mouth breezers in Tejas had such a broad jurisdiction…
Does this guy have a license to practice law?
He should have literally been incarcerated about 8 years ago for securities fraud.
Holy shit the interstate commerce clause is doing something good for once.
This case promises to be extraordinarily complex
_No it really isn’t, it’s likely to get thrown out on its face and even if it’s heard the interstate commerce clause makes it fairly cut and dry. Texas (or any state) can’t control shit beyond their borders.__I have been informed by my lawyer spouse that there are actually are some complexities with this. The case itself is unlikely to win but there could be some important, and very negative, precedent setting.
for once? what would the domestic economy and inter-state trade and travel look like without it?

Bold move for someone whose residence is in the public record.
