Pratt on Texas

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: Friday I explained what an overreach the Texas House Jurisprudence Committee has made in the Roberson death penalty case. Today, Governor Abbott says why; Attorney General Paxton says why, and; even another member of the Texas House says why:

• Governor Abbott’s amicus curiae brief to the Texas Supreme Court
• Rep. Tinderholt’s amicus curiae brief to the Texas Supreme Court
• Attorney General’s motion for reconsideration and to dismiss petition for lack of jurisdiction.

You don’t need to be a lawyer to read these things and you’ll get much more of the actual argument than from press stories.
Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.

New poll has Senator Ted Cruz up by 7 points on Democrat Allred. It seems Allred’s support of boys in girls’ sports is breaking undecideds towards Cruz.
