Down in the trenches holding crooked Repub's feet to the legal fire.


Applause isn't enough for the contribution this man has made.

That I gave both the national and Texas ACLU money from my refund check with hated Trump's signature. I'm glad I didn't need the money, and I tried to give it away productively.

This filing is by a former GOP party chair who was voted out of office a while back and is not a strong filing in my opinion. I know of this attorney only because he used to be the GOP party chair before he was voted out and defeated by an attorney I used to practice law with. This is not a strong filing in my opinion. The equal protection claim basically boils down to the claim that drive through voting is not allowed under Texas election law which is the claim that the Texas supreme court just rejected. Here is the filing https://www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/45/2020/10/Harris-county-new-suit.pdf Again, I am not impressed with Jared's attempt to generate a federal question

I'm not a lawyer, although I think I could have been a good one. I have a good memory, good reasoning skills, and my mom always said I liked to argue.

I sure hope you are right. This garbage just gives me one more thing to worry about before Tuesday.

and a Rep. one. I suppose that's why the repubs are pushing this so hard.

These people are despicable.
