The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: The Texas Nationalist Movement has, in my opinion, wrongly been trying to use the Republican Party of Texas to do its bidding. Upset that TEXIT couldn’t put its resolution on the Republican Party primary ballot, the group went to the Supreme Court for relief but the Texas Supreme Court denied its mandamus petition. Now the group has gone to a Democrat Travis County district court to try and get a TRO to stop GOP ballots from being printed without its resolution.
All you need know about the authentic serious of this group is summed up in this from The Texan:
“Thirteen days after the rejection, TNM asked the state Supreme Court to overrule the RPT and order that proposition’s placement on the ballot, stating, “[We] filed this petition directly with the Texas Supreme Court because time is of the essence.” TNM’s attorney Paul Davis previously said the filing delay occurred because the rejection came while he was on a pre-scheduled vacation.” – emphasis added.
