Laura Palmer, GPTX co-chair, is an absolute badass, y'all. Charles Waterbury has his share of badassery too, and his star on the Green Party of Texas Walk of Fame just doubled in size.

From the State Supreme Court today, re the matter referred to in the previous dbcgreentx blog entry:
Dear Counsel:
Today the Supreme Court of Texas issued the following order: ”The petition for writ of mandamus is granted. The Third Court of Appeals is directed to vacate its conditional grant of mandamus relief in 03-20-00414-CV. The court of appeals’ order requiring a declaration that David B. Collins (U.S. Senate), Katija “Kat” Gruene (Railroad Commission), and Tommy Wakely (Congressional District 21) are ineligible to appear as Green Party nominees on the November 2020 general statewide ballot is vacated. The Secretary of State shall immediately take all necessary actions to ensure these candidates appear on the 2020 general election ballot as they would have appeared before the court of appeals’ conditional grant of relief. Opinion to follow.”
The decision means that 254 county clerks or equivalents thereof have some extra work. Can't wait to read that forthcoming opinion, even though my legalese is still pretty rusty.
This news makes me all tingly inside. At the same time, I feel a bit like the dog who's been chasing cars for years and finally caught one. OK, now what do I do with it?
