Am somewhat surprised hearing nada about the $1.4 trillion spending spree congress went on that Texas AG Paxton convinced SCOTUS was unconstitutional. Nary a peep have I heard and that is odd.

Exactly! Zero, Zilch, Nada!

I've been waiting for some legal minded commentators to explain the scope and effect of that case!!!

It is small and limited to one issue Paxton sued on. See my other post. Otherwise the media would be having a hissy-fit.

Are we talking about the same thing? A trillion dollar vote by a House lacking aa quorum, in fact, less than 1/2 present? That is small one issue.. I would say the only issue

I'm with you on this, as usual. I can only think that Paxton felt he had a chance of success if he made it about specific ramifications to the state of TX.

"When President Joe Biden signed the illegally passed law, Attorney General Paxton sued and sought an injunction against the implementation of certain provisions of the law affecting the State of Texas." Here is the decision -

This is from Ken Paxton's office (and I find it sort of misleading as to what TX and no one else gained) - texasattorneygeneral.go…

STANDING!!! But if the quorum rule was violated, why in holy hell does that not apply to the entire thing? Said before, SCOTUS decisions today depend on headlines, not the Constitution

WHERE was "Speaker" Johnson in all this?
