First, the Fifth Circuit, en banc, will hear the Ten Commandments in schools lawsuits in both Texas and Louisiana in January. A three-judge panel, the norm, had already blocked Louisiana's law. For whatever reason, Kenny Boy Paxton jumped the legal gun in a sense and asked for an immediate en banc. As the story notes, this is headed to the Supremes anyway, so it's just Kenny Boy pouting over the Fifth Circuit's panel and hoping he can get the full set of judges to vote his way. In reality, that's not likely; yes, the Fifth tilts strongly conservative in general, but it also tilts strongly pro-civil liberties.
Speaking of, who called Kenny Boy "brazen"? Or at least, a lawsuit of his? None other than Secretary of State Jane Nelson, in her response to him suing the SoS office to try to force closed primaries in the state.
Meanwhile, in a Halloween trick for him and treat for others, Kenny Boy on Oct. 31 had a New York state district judge metaphorically laugh in his face and dismiss his attempt to get a Tex-ass civil judgment against Dr. Margaret Carpenter for remotely prescribing abortion pills legally enforced.
