Gotta love that Conservative mantra:

I get to do what I want.
You have to do what I say.

The judge doesn't have to recuse himself, because <insert specious reasoning> and fuck you. Also, he's the big, bad judge, and he's going to chide the plaintiff's attorneys in a show of dominance.

Texas is basically a Conservative rubber stamp, at this point. I hope we get Kamala/Walz, because we desperately need judicial reform.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

If this is the court i’m thinking of, this circuit is already trying to mandate a better lottery system because of shopping for this particular judge.

We can only hope. Reform is likely going to have to come from within and without.
