“We’re going to make them all famous, and they have to understand they’re going to be made famous. Very famous. On a global scale.”
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. That’s been a cornerstone of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s legal strategy in court when combating foes of all stripes—socialists in Washington, tyrants on local school boards, and now, a state court filled entirely with Republican judges.
Typically a sleepy outpost in the world of Texas politics, the high criminal court now finds itself a target of the party’s increasingly rabid crusade for “election integrity.” Eight of the nine judges—all of whom are Republicans—signed onto the decision. The ruling overturned a provision of state law granting the attorney general unilateral power to prosecute alleged voter fraud because, the judges said, it violated the state constitution’s separation of powers.
The state attorney general followed up with an appearance on the “War Room” podcast with Steve Bannon, Trump’s onetime political consigliere, who was eager to amplify Paxton’s pleas.
