Even conservatives/Republicans have to be taken by the fact that two of their own--Justice Roggensack and her daughter, Judge Brostrom, are either supporting Judge Protasiewicz or refusing to support Judge Kelly. That speaks volumes.

No wonder one of their State Senate candidates is already threatening to impeach Justice Protasiewicz before she's even been elected. They suspect they can't win fair and square at the ballot box. Let's hope they're right!

It definitely sends a clear message about just how unfit Kelly must be. Hopefully that sentiment wins the day on Tuesday!

Just read that judge in (where else) Texas struck down part of Affordable Care Act saying do not have to cover birth control, preventive care from cancer to chronic disease screening.. anything recommended by Preventative Service Task Force. Said it is unconstitutional. Brought by Christian (?) business.

How is it that conservatives get away, time and again, with forum-shopping so that they always get their way? They did it with the mask mandate on planes and in airports. They did it with the Mifepristone lawsuit. They did it with their ACA lawsuit(s). Again and again, they get to pick their forum for the most desirable outcome possible.

I wonder if people realize what is going on in the repugnants states !! Slowly but surely they are legislating laws that take away the rights of the people, burning books , marginalizing groups of people that they don't like or agree with !! Banning black and brown history because it might hurt white people 's feelings. Hurting the LGBTQI just because . Banning drag shows for aboutism. So when are the repugnants and right wing dildo's building crematoriums and prisons for the those they don't like or those that don't agree with their crap ??? We already know they don't care about the children because of their lax laws on gun control and want to make easier laws to get an arsenal !! So tell me folks, when do you think it's enough!!

Thank you for alerting us. Very disturbing, although I wish I could say I was surprised.

Thank you for the tip, hadn't seen that story yet and it is definitely up our alley here at TBP! And yes, how very on brand for Texas. 🙄
