Didn't know until today that Obama wanted that judge appointed to a federal court. Figures.

The use of the words "scofflaw" in the headline and "brouhaha" in the first sentence pleases me

“Throwing Texans in jail who have had their businesses shut down through no fault of their own is nonsensical, and I will not allow it to happen,” Abbott said in a written statement.

“That is why I am modifying my executive orders to ensure confinement is not a punishment for violating an order," he said. “This order is retroactive to April 2nd, supersedes local orders and if correctly applied should free Shelley Luther.”



Cool. What about the $7k you charged her? Stop pretending to be the hero you’re not. If you actually care you’d lift the order, but you’d rather try to have your cake and eat it too.

Called his office to tell them the news. Lady responded sarcastically "oh that's great" then hung up.

Give their office a call. 214-653-7337

I’d also ask the judge to apologize to the woman. These people are fricking insane.

Did she already get brought to jail?

If so, this allows the county to make her serve the entire sentence but throws down a gauntlet by the state to justify this horseshite.

POS "journalists" can't help themselves.

quote:

Abbott indirectly responded to Wednesday’s criticism by some Democratic state lawmakers that he, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Attorney General Ken Paxton were rushing to free Luther, who is white, when they often are silent about injustices borne by racial and ethnic minorities in the law enforcement and prosecution of crimes.

Ah yes, the ole race card. Now who would have ever thought theyd play that one.

Two can play at that game. I'd argue that if Shelly were black he would not have thrown her in jail.

Boy, this is a fun game!

I hope the higher courts deal with these municipalities with a vengeance over this crap they’ve pulled. I hope some clear cut precedent is established against these oversteps
