Do you feel a tribal loyalty to Paxton that places him above criticism?
If he didn’t like the case he could (a) drop it, or (b) not falsely brag about his success in pursuing it.
“Conservative”?? Who’s the conservative? I think it’s the man who defends his property rights. The man who attacks those rights might be a conservative in many other ways....but not in respect to advocating against those rights.
I’m a professional investor and I side with those fighting against unfair expropriation of property in any form.
Of course you do. But like he said, in this case Paxton is the attorney advocating for his client, the State of Texas, it doesn’t even matter what his personal thought on the merit of the case is, his job was to make the best possible argument for his client.
People are treating his advocacy in this case as part of his professional responsibility as though he was personally in favor of what the state did. We don’t know what his private thoughts are.
No you are striking down a man based on one thing he is wrong about even though you know he has done a Ton of good things. You strike him down because this one thing is personal to you. I have no problem with you saying he is wrong on this. He is in my opinion. But don’t strike the man down in whole because that is not fair or right.
Using that same standard then Trump would be a pile of crap because he has also been very wrong about some things. But his good far out weighs his bad.
