The case against his office isn't going very well, the woman who apparently was in charge of developing the list resigned and vanished into the aether and the judge threatened to send the US Marshals after her if she doesn't appear in his court.

Typically people don't risk federal contempt charges unless they're think that what they're going to have to say on the stand is going to be really really bad

Couple of revealing quotes from the DMN interview with the Senate Finance Chair:



That pretty much confirms to me that 2.5 isn't tenable



Soooooo no.

I know that it's semi-petty and all that but the main memory I have of interacting with Lucio was when he rolled in to the catholic place i worked at, would buy a bunch of cheap bibles, and then expect me to emboss initials and the like on covers that couldn't really hold the gold properly.

And also make tons of laws and red tape if you want to vote. But only if you are a minority. Clearly we aren't the ones like Mussolini.

Yeah, if these bills had been filed in January that's one thing, but filing them in the midst of a trial on it, with a federal judge ruling against them initially, sure seems like they're just gonna put their heads down and go for it.

Zedler is a former medical consultant with a huge hate boner for the Texas Medical Board, as well as a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus. I first noticed his unique shitheadedness when he brought a whole ton of naturopaths to the Sunset hearing on the TMB to call it biased in favor of allotropic or "actual" medicine
