Right-leaning Texas Supreme Court might be empowering Governor Abbott’s excesses

What is happening in Texas right now is much more than a simple partisan political battle. Texas Democrats are at ground zero in the fight for the future of not just our state, but also our nation. 

Texas Republicans are not only at the forefront of their party’s national efforts to suppress the vote in support of the “Big Lie” but to also help lay the groundwork to undermine the 2024 presidential election and to help eliminate telling the truth about American history and its present day impacts.

Not only are Texas Republicans doing all they can to corrupt our political process, they have also spent years warping the Texas judiciary.

We now have Republican state judges in Texas saying that it is constitutional for the Governor to defund the other two branches of state government. Essentially, the Republican Texas Supreme Court has now said that the Texas Governor is a king.

What is going to happen to the rule of law in Texas when the Governor decides that he disagrees with the Texas judiciary and it is no longer needed and he defunds it? This is the door that Republican judges on the Texas Supreme Court have just kicked wide open in their obsessive commitment to partisan judicial making in support of the partisan political agenda of Texas and national Republicans.

We need a better Texas Supreme Court.
