Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

We need to treat the Heritage Foundation like what it is: a terrorist organization.
its just so cruel.
The cruelty is the point.
Knew who the judge was without having to look. This piece of shit needs to be removed. Can US Circuit court judges be impeached?
Absolutely. Any federal judge can theoretically be impeached, it just very rarely happens. 15 times to be exact.
Fifteen federal judges have been impeached. Of those fifteen: eight were convicted by the Senate, four were acquitted by the Senate, and three resigned before an outcome at trial. Source
It's always a judge in Texas. Piece of shit.
3 members of the TX Supreme Court, 3 members of the Court of Criminal Appeals, 15 state senators, Ted Cruz, all 38 representative at the US level, all 150 representatices at the state level, and many more offices are up for election this year. Go Vote! https://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/candidates/guide/2024/offices2024.shtml
Polls will be open Oct 21-Nov 1, with a final day to vote on Nov 5. If you don't want to wait in line, go during the first 2 weeks, we were the first state with early voting so use it! Polls will be open at least 9 hours the first week and at least 12 hours the second week and final day.
Check your voter registration, important election dates, polling locations and hours (available in October), and more at www.votetexas.gov
But remember TRUMP won't do this when he's President!
This is such bullshit. I got my green card through my spouse, thankfully years ago. So this would have affected me if I still didn’t have it. I would have to leave the country - despite having a son who is an American citizen - and go through a lengthy process to apply and come back. So cruel.
To add on to that, I would have to go back to my country of origin, Russia, where I would certainly be arrested for my political views and for donating to Ukraine.
The fact that these cases always first get filed and heard in these right wing circuits is a testament to right wing Republican AGs' use of judge/circuit shopping.
I'd suggest that any future judicial reforms (SCOTUS, etc) also include the creation of a special national circuit focused solely on national legal issues involving the federal government - with built in safeguards against that circuit being packed by either party
Is this the same guy from that related story from about two months ago?
"Anti-LGBTQ+ activist judge in Texas hospitalized after being kicked in the head while trespassing on Texas ranch and trying to suck all the horse's dicks to completion."
Everyone start looking for repubs holding office whose spouses fall within these circumstances.
