Notes from the Resistance
Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit seeking to dissolve the nonprofit JOLT Initiative, accusing the Democrat-aligned voter-registration group of orchestrating what he calls a “systematic, unlawful voter-registration scheme” designed to “sabotage Texas election integrity and allow illegals to vote.” [More]

“There never was, and never will be, a tenable pathway for Hunt,” they said in the memo. “It’s time for the vanity project that could cost Republicans control of the Senate and dilute our resources to end.” [More]
I dunno– Cornyn is a weasel gun owners will stay home over and Paxton comes with exploitable scandals.
Why don’t they drop out and the Republicans throw everything they’ve got behind a guy who actually gets it?

Given what Paxton calls O’Rourke’s “vulgar disdain for the rule of law and immense personal wealth,” the attorney general says imprisonment is “absolutely necessary to persuade him to obey the lawful restraining order.” [More]
So… what will Megan Fahey do?
And is any gun owner still a fan of these idiots?

Let’s hope he does a better job on this than he did with the State Fair.
And what’s with “licensed”?

According to the attorney general, the Biden-Harris administration is required by federal law to assist states in verifying the citizenship status of individuals suspected of being ineligible to vote—and their inaction constitutes a violation of that law. [More]
They’ll get right on it– after they “win” the election and take over nominating judges.
It’s been an ongoing problem for years and Ken’s just getting around to it two weeks before Election Day? If I didn’t kow better, I’d say he files these things for publicity without any intention of effecting real change.

But it also raises the question of how badly Paxton wanted the win and why he didn’t anticipate considerations cited by the court.[More]
With issues not raised, it’s fair to wonder how much of this has been for show and if the result was expected.
State Fair of Texas upholds gun ban despite lawsuit from Attorney General Ken Paxton… “The State Fair of Texas will continue to prioritize providing a safe and secure environment for our millions of fairgoers, as well as our staff, vendors, and volunteers,” said a spokesperson. [More]
Because “there’s no safer rides than carnival rides“!
And no safer locales than “gun-free zones”!

Texas AG Ken Paxton sues Pfizer for vaccine efficacy misrepresentation, ‘conspiring to censor the vaccine’s critics’ [More]
I’d like to see the short list for plans being evaluated to destroy him, and know where the final approval will come from.
I’ve never talked about this before but for some reason it seems tangentially relevant: Back in an earlier life when I was the plant manager for a pharmaceutical company, I got a commendation from Pfizer for a successful national product launch, along with a not-so-subtle dig at corporate for almost derailing things. Just to show how coroporate politics work, that earned me some resentment among one of the higher-ups and put a target on my back.
