Abbott & Beto Pancho tied? | SCOTUS hears Fetal Heartbeat law related argument | NAACP disgusts in Texas claim – Pratt on Texas for 11/1/2021

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: The U.S. Supreme Court held three hours of oral arguments today related to the Texas Fetal Heartbeat law, S.B. 8, but the cases before the justices are more about who has standing to sue Texas in federal court than about the law itself.

Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.

NAACP says professional athletes and their families are not safe in Texas and seeks to persuade free agents from signing contracts with Texas teams. The absurd claims of the NAACP show just how low the organization has gone.

Poll says if it’s Abbott versus Beto Pancho O’Rourke for governor, they are about tied. Interestingly it says in the GOP primary, at this moment, Ken Paxton could beat Eva Guzman, Matt Krause, and Geo. P. Bush without a runoff. It’s all fairly meaningless at this point but does show that this early it seems to be all about name I.D. with voters and that most challengers are simply unknown to voters.

Texas has a new Supreme Court justice to replace Eva Guzman.

The “Let’s go Brandon” story related to Southwest Airlines gets a lot of press but there are serious problems with the claims of the AP reporter. Also “The media’s ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ lunacy” in The Spectator World is worth a read.
