AG Paxton Seeks to Cancel Hearing in U.S. District Court

Originally published by Thomas J. Crane.

Now, Attorney General Paxton wants to cancel the hearing in front of Judge Garcia in U.S. District Court. Judge Garcia ordered Ken Paxton and Kirk Cole, the interim head of the Texas Department of Health, to explain why they chose to violate the U.S. Supreme Court decision regarding gay marriage. Judge Garcia has essentially asked the two agency heads to explain why they should not be found in contempt. I previously wrote about AG Paxton’s problems here and here. He chose to give unlawful legal advice. He did see the error of his ways later, however, and changed policies. As I mentioned before, political posturing will only carry you so far…..
