This is the video I saw yesterday by Louie Gohmert that I find most puzzling in all this.

Texas has racked up 25 lawsuits against the Biden administration so far

The Lone Star State has sued the Biden administration more than any other Republican-led state, waging 25 lawsuits against the Democrat in his first 15 months in office.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's filing rate is equally as high as his win rate. The federal courts have sided with him in 93% of cases in which there has been movement.

"The Biden administration is so dramatically wrong," Paxton said during an interview with the Washington Examiner in late March. "That's why the president is losing — he's wrong on the law."

Texas is more hellbent on suing the federal government than it has ever been, already tying the 25 lawsuits that Paxton's predecessor, now-Gov. Greg Abbott, waged against the Obama administration while attorney general. Paxton will undoubtedly set a new record for a GOP state challenging Washington.

The only state attorney general who has outpaced Paxton when it comes to suing the government is former California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who waged 21 lawsuits against President Donald Trump in his first 10 months in office. Becerra filed 35 lawsuits 17 months into Trump's term. By the time Trump left office, Becerra had sued Trump 122 times in four years and was overwhelmingly successful in his challenges against the GOP leader. More than half of Becerra's legal complaints were over environmental rules, but a good chunk were wrapped up in immigration policy.

Immigration is also a leading concern for Texans, according to Paxton. Nine of the state's 25 lawsuits are over policy changes that the Biden administration implemented as it reversed Trump-era immigration policies, many of which Becerra initially sued Trump for imposing in the first place.

"It's not just about immigration. It's really about this fundamental principle — whether we have a Constitution that matters and if the president can just say, 'Look, I don't have to follow federal law. I just do what I want,' and the courts say, 'Yeah, that's fine. Do whatever you want. We don't care, and Congress, your laws don't mean anything to us,'" Paxton said. "If we don't defend those laws, and we don't defend our Constitution, then we don't have one. We are really a living, breathing document that gets made up by whoever's in charge, and that's not a free people. That's a ruling oligarchy or a monarchy."

"I think we're headed down that path," Paxton continued. "You either have to defend that and protect it, or you lose it."

Aaron Reitz, deputy attorney general for legal strategy, said the state's focus on immigration matters has been largely successful to date. -- excerpt, rest at link above --


From a year ago.

Agreed, Tinker.

So, what's up with Louie saying what he said?

Let me see if I can explain this for you.

What happened in the Texas House yesterday wasn't even about Ken Paxton at base. It was entirely about how weighty things should, or should not, be done in that body and the members failed miserably! Their standards were no standards at all!

What is REALLY going on here is that certain elements in this state don't like the fact that Ken Paxton is holding their feet to the fire and are desperate to be rid of him no matter what it takes.

Because 2024 is the must-win, at all costs, leftist battle against Trump, there will be no limit to what leftists will do.

Ken Paxton, a battle-hardened attorney general, whom the people like a lot, would have prosecuted the hundreds of fraud rings that will make themselves visible.

So, step 1, take out Ken Paxton.

If you can't beat him at the polls, hold a secret investigation, known only to RINOs and leftists. Do not allow him or his attorney to examine the witnesses, use "triple hearsay" testimony as evidence, do not produce a single incriminating document, no witness cross examination — then demand that the Legislature, with a few days' notice, vote on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend!
