22. second that!!

We could use a GOTV meme

5. Let me guess

Crooked Paxton will appeal asking SCOTUS to take up the case?

[GB_RN]

7. Same Answer To These Questions:

Is Paxton a crook and under federal indictment (still)?

And does he have a lazy eye?

Answer: You bet.

9. I think he is a serious perv too

Just a feeling. All those guys that focus so much on the genitalia of others are pretty suspect to me.

[GB_RN]

14. He Certainly Has "That Look"...

And yeah, a lot of those Genitalia Obsessed (Party) types are pervs.

6. Does anyone else sense the beginning of a sea change in this country?

I think the repukes are messing their pants right now lamenting on how badly they miscalculated the backlash they would get on the overturning of Roe v Wade, even repuke women are voting against the suppression of women's rights to reproductive health and choices and now this, TX has suffered a major defeat in their quest to allow only the "correct" citizens to vote.

[RussBLib]

8. I feel it

But I'm sure Texas will appeal it.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

10. No doubt Paxton will,

but I'm not too sure that SCOTUS will even take it up, especially after the disastrous Roe v Wade ruling.

We'll find out soon enough.

[prodigitalson]

11. And the Gilead court will probably agree with AG Henry Lee Lucas' uglier brother

I was against court expansion until the Roe overturn.

[AZLD4Candidate]

13. Since Dobbs, yes. That was a bridge too far.

[erronis]

23. Not to worry, they are already planning their next assault on democracy and decency.

That's just how those rotten people operate. Watch the waves of pulchritude since Nixon onward.

They'll slink off for a couple of years, polish their messages, spray on some deodorant and come back out. All funded by Thiel, Koch, Mercer, Murdoch, etc.

Just imagine if they spent their energy doing something good for the world.... No, I can't imagine it either.

12. Come back to the blue, Texas!

19. Good start, now they need to take on the antiabortion vigilante law

since the Christian bullies on the USSC have still not done their jobs on that one.

[Lonestarblue]

20. It's good to stop one of the many voter suppression laws Texas Republicans passed, at least for now.

There are many others, and I hope those lawsuits have a similar outcome. I don’t remember exactly what the controversy was over SB1111, but it may have been partly Republicans’ desire to prevent college students from voting. Republicans have long made it difficult, especially for out-of-state students now living in Texas, to vote.

21. Bush appointed judge.

[SWBTATTReg]

24. BAM!

[2naSalit]

25. Hope this is just the beginning.
