I suspect this will be unpopular, but the AG should be told to go pound sand.
Here is the letter from Paxton: https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/images/press/Spirit%20Aero%20Request%20to%20Examine%20Letter.pdf
Let’s turn around the tables: if a Dem AG sent an 8-page demand about gun or speech related policies to a conservative parts supplier, with a customer experiencing quality problems, people would have cow over that. As they should.
Paxton is serving up red meat. And some folks are happy. Until some Dem AG pulls this stunt, and then the “this is outrageous!” chorus will start.
Private businesses shouldn’t be harassed by the state. If the government thinks that a crime was committed, take them to court. Otherwise, go take a long walk off a short pier.
I wouldn’t flame you. Your post is fair.
“Until some Dem AG pulls this stunt”
You mean like Garland’s goons, rifling through everything that Trump’s attorneys own, just for representing Trump - and then indicting his attorneys.
But, if you want to ‘set a new tone’ and just ignore the shit the Democrats are ALREADY doing to conservatives, feel free to do so, but please take it Firing Line, or some other Patrician GOP Elite site because here at FR, we RESPOND IN KIND.
Last Summer’s Supreme Court decision on Harvard admissions is so broad that it pretty much makes any DEI unconstitutional. Because of this, I’m not going to blame any AG for going after DEI.
I am opposed for AGs going against such issues as gun ownership, because that is a blatantly unconstitutional stand.
It seems to me that it would be surprising if Paxton was not curious about DEI and airline safety at Boeing. AFAIK nobody has proved that DEI is the cause of Boeing's equipment problems, but IMO airlines acceptance of DEI is asking for trouble WRT equipment and personnel.

Sounds like the fascists already have you subjugated to me.
Grow a pair.
If a Leo’s firearm was misfiring or having serious issues on a regular basis, the firearm manufacturer should be looked into.
Actually, IIRC, Texas law bars the state or any entity there under from investing in a DEI firm. Including the various retirement and pension funds - so, yes, under state law and as a concerned investor, the state through Paxton does actually have that right.
Won’t flame you, but what makes you think Dem AGs and Garland aren’t already doing it?
