This guy is such an asshole.Hope he does face a court and is charged with more than just one charge.
When the SCOTUS determined that the anti-gay marriage restrictions were unconstitutional, by default that meant gays have always had the right to marry as well as have their marriages recognized.
The SCOTUS decision is therefore āretroactiveā to at least the ratification of the 14th Amendment. Paxton needs to encourage all clerks (and other officials) to immediately correct any erroneous paperwork in their jurisdictions.
Your headline would be libelous if Paxton werenāt a public figure, and it comes close anyway. He may be contemptible (he is, IMO), but he hasnāt been held in contempt. Heās been ordered to appear for a hearing to determine whether contempt will lie in the case. Thereās a fairly substantial difference, donāt you know.
This POS Paxton, already under felony indictment, realizes he could really be held in contempt. Thus heās trying to weasel his way out of appearing in court.
āThat boy, I say that boy is as sharp as a bag of bowling balls.ā
Yep. Then let āGodā figure it all out. Iāll play āGod.ā Iām a vengeful almighty SOB, so please have your guns and pistols ready. These effers arenāt going to like how I āfigure it all out.ā Letās just say, what I order for the first 1,000 of them should put the fear of me in the rest of them.
Isnāt everyone supposed to be equal under the law? Why is this asshole getting special treatment? Do your job, judge!! Slap his ass with contempt!
The judge postponed the hearing at 3:20 pm yesterday when Paxton agreed in a teleconference to allow death certificates to acknowledge same-sex marriages, and to issue new guidelines allowing same-sex couples to be listed as parents on a childās birth certificate, said Neel Lane, the lawyer for a Conroe man who sued Texas to be listed as the husband on his male spouseās death certificate.
Garcia issued a short order Monday rescheduling the contempt hearing for
Sept. 10 to allow a āglobal resolution of the issuesā raised.
Both the governor and the Attorney General in Texas need to be kicked out of office for failure to abide by the Constitution which they claim to hold dear.
