Texas Supreme Court Ends ‘Witch-hunt’ Against Paxton For ‘Fighting To Secure National Elections’
6 days ago
The Texas Supreme Court has delivered a huge victory to The Office of the Attorney General Ken Paxton, after it ruled that the State Bar of Texas cannot discipline First Assistant Attorney General Brent Webster for ‘fighting to secure national elections’
Webster and Paxton filed a lawsuit after The Texas Commission tried to discipline them for filing an original action in the U.S. Supreme Court over genuine concerns of unconstitutional conduct by states during the 2020 election.
In September 2022, the district court dismissed the allegations against First Webster but the issue was appealed to the Texas Supreme Court.
Paxton, who faces similar ‘baseless’ allegations from the State Bar in a separate case - said
“After four years of lawfare and political retaliation, the Texas Supreme Court has ended this witch hunt against the leadership of my office. The Texas State Bar attempted to punish us for fighting to secure our national elections, but we did not and will not ever back down from doing what is right.”
