Ken Paxton is a textbook definition bonafide out-and-out Nazi. Straight up sending the Gestapo to eliminate enemies of the state. He should be removed and jailed for treason, this slimy fucking sack of rotting corpses.

    Oh, I understand their objective. But they had to ask a judge to okay the search warrant, and I’m mystified how a request for DNA evidence didn’t raise any eyebrows. They run the risk of having the entire warrant invalidated if another judge decides that this one was too broad.

      Judges in Texas are elected. They can just be random political stooges with no particular concern for the law.
