The State Bar of Texas is examining whether Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s frivolous lawsuit seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election constitutes an offense worthy of his disbarment.<\/p>\n

Well …<\/p>\n

Who’da thunk that might happen? I sorta did.<\/p>\n

Paxton sought to reverse the results of the election in four states that voted for President Biden over the Republican incumbent president. The U.S. Supreme Court tossed the lawsuit with nary a word, contending that Paxton had no standing to file such a lawsuit.<\/p>\n

The Huffington Post reported:<\/p>\n

\n

Kevin Moran, the 71-year-old president of the Galveston Island Democrats, shared his complaint with The Associated Press along with letters from the State Bar of Texas and the Board of Disciplinary Appeals that confirm the investigation. He said Paxton\u2019s efforts to dismiss other states\u2019 election results was a wasteful embarrassment for which the attorney general should lose his law license.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cHe wanted to disenfranchise the voters in four other states,\u201d said Moran. \u201cIt\u2019s just crazy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Yep. It’s crazy, all right. It also served to embarrass Texas in front of the entire world! It suggested to many of us that the AG’s fierce fealty to the former president blinded what passes for his better judgment.<\/p>\n

So, here we are. The state’s top legal eagle is awaiting trial in state court on securities fraud allegations; the FBI is probing a whistleblower complaint of wrongdoing brought by several former top AG’s office lawyers; now the State Bar is looking into whether the attorney general should be stripped of his license to practice law.<\/p>\n

Nice going, Mr. Attorney General.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
