The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: There are big, expensive lessons for Texas coming out of the Los Angeles urban wildfires. So far, Texas legislators, while aware of the problem for years, have not had the fortitude to fix it. We have similar problems with TWIA as California has with FAIR and it is because of politicians.DeVore: Government mismanagement, not climate change, is to blame for California's destructive wildfires. Chuck references a book all should read, especially young adults, so that they can see what wimps we have become compared to our American ancestors: Two Years Before the Mast by Dana.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.The Texas GOP battle over whether or not the Texas House Republican Caucus should select the Speaker of the House is nasty, bitter, and now beyond the absurd. Burrowcrat Coalition backer Rep. Cody Harris “seeks felony charges against Texas GOP chairman”for standing up for the party's platform and Burrowcrat “scorched earth” backer Rep. Carl Tepper says George Soros is running the Republican Party of Texas! Both of these things are beneath the bottom rung.The Texan: Five Questions to Consider About the Texas House Speaker Race.The race is not about Burrows and his Burrowcrat Coalition or David Cook and his backers, it about putting an end to the “most pervasive, long-lasting, and heavily funded divide in the Texas Republican Party.”JCPenney merges with big brand group to create new company.Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

Paul Dyson tells local media his name was on Burrow's list but he is supporting the nominee of the Republican Caucus, which is not Burrows.Paxton makes the point I make: This is about having the GOP caucus choose the Speaker, not about Cook or Burrows.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: “Scorched earth,” belittling the Governor and Lt. Governor, and much more keeps coming from the Lubbock House delegation in its tantrum-style effort to gain the Texas House Speaker's gavel.

On this day in legal history, September 18, noted jurist and Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story was born. He got a lot of things right, and a lot of things wrong.Joseph Story, born on September 18, 1779, in Marblehead, Massachusetts, hailed from a family with a rich history of involvement in significant events leading up to the American Revolution. Despite initial aspirations in poetry, Story eventually focused on a career in law, spurred by early setbacks in his literary endeavors. His legal journey began under the mentorship of prominent attorneys Samuel Sewell and Samuel Putnam, culminating in his bar admission in 1801.Story's legal career blossomed as he garnered success in the courtroom and formed political alliances with influential figures like Jacob Crowninshield. His notable stint in the Massachusetts and federal legislature between 1805 and 1811 saw him briefly serve as the Speaker of the House for the Massachusetts House of Representatives. His legal acumen was recognized nationally when he successfully argued the landmark case Fletcher v. Peck before the Supreme Court in 1810, a case that marked the first instance of a state law being deemed unconstitutional.Story became the youngest Associate Justice to serve in the Supreme Court at the age of 32, nominated by President James Madison in 1811. Despite initial expectations of a divergent judicial philosophy from Justice John Marshall, Story embraced a vision that fortified the power of the Federal government, often collaborating closely with Marshall. His tenure on the bench was marked by landmark rulings that expanded the Supreme Court's authority and strengthened federal judicial power, notably in cases like Martin v. Hunter's Lessee and Swift v. Tyson.A staunch nationalist, Story vehemently opposed slavery, a stance evident in his ruling in the 1841 Amistad case where he advocated for the rights of African captives. However, his commitment to nation-building led to an incorrect ruling in Prigg v. Pennsylvania, reinforcing the federal Fugitive Slave Law of 1793, a decision that compromised the safety of escaped enslaved individuals and free black people in the north alike. Despite the challenges of circuit duties, Story remained passionate about education, joining Harvard's law faculty in 1829 and authoring seminal legal texts that illuminated complex legal concepts. His dedication to fostering a nationalist vision of federal law left an indelible mark on American jurisprudence, cementing his legacy as a formidable constitutional and legal scholar albeit not one without negative marks. His prioritizing of nation building ahead of the human rights of enslaved and free people is a serious blemish on what could have been a much more impactful public life. If Joseph Story were alive today he would be celebrating his 244th birthday and be super dead.The UK-based Woodsford Group Ltd., a prominent entity in the $13.5 billion litigation finance industry, is planning to sell its portfolio of passive US investments to concentrate on spearheading large-scale lawsuits against corporate malpractices. CEO Steven Friel revealed that this strategic shift aims to fuel the company's growth and reposition it in the market, although the details of the portfolio's size and value remain undisclosed. Woodsford intends to independently identify and organize lawsuits, moving away from merely investing in cases brought forward by law firms.This move comes as a response to a gap in the market created by a 2010 US Supreme Court ruling that restricts the trial of securities cases with significant foreign elements in the US. Woodsford plans to orchestrate these cases abroad, focusing on those that were previously under US jurisdiction. The company aims to initially seek non-litigious compensation for large groups of stakeholders affected by corporate wrongdoings, resorting to funded litigation if necessary. This strategy shift is in line with the emerging trend of substantial secondary transactions in the litigation funding sector, as noted by industry experts.Litigation Funder Woodsford Seeks Portfolio Sale in Market ShiftThe federal prosecutor's office in Muskogee, Oklahoma, is facing difficulties in recruiting attorneys to manage the increasing caseloads resulting from a Supreme Court ruling that altered Indian law jurisdiction. Despite receiving funding to expand from 8 to 159 employees, the office has struggled to attract qualified candidates willing to relocate to the economically challenged area. The 2020 Supreme Court case, McGirt v. Oklahoma, shifted the responsibility of prosecuting crimes on tribal lands to federal and tribal agencies, significantly burdening the Eastern District of Oklahoma, which encompasses a 26-county region within Indian territory.The recruitment challenges are exacerbated by the remote location and the stress associated with adapting to the federal judicial system's stringent criminal procedures. While some attorneys were initially eager to gain federal experience, many found the transition too challenging and left shortly after. In contrast, the neighboring Northern District, home to Tulsa, successfully doubled its attorney ranks to 68 within three years, leveraging the city's appeal. Experts suggest focusing recruitment efforts on local Oklahoma law school graduates to foster long-term retention. Meanwhile, US Attorney Christopher Wilson continues to emphasize the unique opportunities the role offers in hopes of attracting experienced trial lawyers.‘Forgotten' Oklahoma Town Can't Attract Enough US ProsecutorsThe Texas Senate acquitted Attorney General Ken Paxton, a prominent Republican figure, on all 16 articles of impeachment he was facing, allowing him to retain his position. Despite being embroiled in corruption allegations since assuming office in 2014 and currently being under FBI investigation, Paxton managed to secure acquittal with ease. Throughout the trial, he maintained his innocence, dismissing the proceedings as a political witch hunt. The impeachment trial, which revealed deep divisions within the Texas Republican Party, saw Paxton's former aides testify against him, accusing him of corruption and abuse of power, primarily to shield a wealthy donor and conceal an extramarital affair.Former President Donald Trump and Texas Governor Greg Abbott praised Paxton's acquittal, with Abbott commending Paxton's resistance against the Biden administration. However, critics like Senator Roland Gutierrez criticized the verdict, attributing it to a flawed system that enables abuse of power. The trial, which began on September 5, has been criticized by Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick for its lack of transparency and unnecessary expenditure of taxpayer money. So ends a rare occurrence in Texas politics, with the last impeachment trial of a statewide officeholder occurring in 1917.Texas Senate acquits AG Paxton in impeachment trial, keeps him in office | ReutersThe U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced that Lyft has consented to pay a $10 million civil penalty to settle charges pertaining to non-disclosure of a board member's financial interest in a company transaction. Before Lyft went public in March 2019, a director on the company's board facilitated the sale of private shares worth $424 million through a special purpose vehicle connected to them, a detail that was not disclosed in Lyft's 2019 SEC filings. The SEC emphasized that Lyft was obligated to reveal the particulars of the transaction, given its role in approving the private sales. The involved director exited the board concurrent with the transaction.

On this day in legal history, September 15, 1935, the Nuremberg Laws of Nazi Germany went into effect, reorienting German citizenship around the exclusion of Jewish residents and laying the groundwork for what was to come. As we've tried to make clear in previous “this day in legal history” segments where we've focused on Germany in the 1930s, the lesson to be learned from a legal perspective derives from the Third Reich's focus on using the rule of law to give a color of civility and process to their gross violations of human rights and atrocities. As much as genocide can come in the form of a general, festooned in medals, pressing a state's military across the countryside leaving death in its wake, the law can be coopted to make the entire affair seem civil and considered. There might be an applicable lesson to be learned and applied to the modern day here.In the fall of 1935, the Nuremberg Laws were enacted in Germany, fundamentally altering the citizenship status of Jews and imposing strict racial classifications. These laws were first announced at a Nazi Party rally in Nuremberg, comprising the Reich Citizenship Law and the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor. The former stripped Jews of their German citizenship, allowing only "full" Germans to enjoy the full protection of the law, while the latter prohibited marriage or relations between Jews and non-Jewish Germans.These regulations were visually represented through a chart that helped Germans understand the classifications, including designations for "Aryan" Germans, Jews, and individuals of mixed race. The laws had severe repercussions, as illustrated by personal narratives and vast documentation from that time. For instance, Edward Adler faced arrest and deportation for his relationship with a non-Jewish woman, and many others experienced similar fates, including forced labor, imprisonment, and eventual deportation to concentration camps. These laws marked a grim step in the Nazis' efforts to isolate and persecute the Jewish community, as well as test the waters to see how far they could take their crimes, based on their false and discriminatory racial theories.A tell for how concerned the Nazis were with how their policies would be received was the fact that they weren't enforced until after the 1936 Summer Olympics which were held in Berlin. Thereafter, anyone found violating the laws would be imprisoned and, following release from their completion of their sentence, re-arrested and sent to a concentration camp. Note the performative release and re-arresting, and consider their aforementioned focus on the rule of law and marshaling it for their evil ends. The initial process was about separating the Jewish community from the rest of the German citizenry under the auspices of protecting Germans and immiserating the former in ways smaller than what would eventually come to pass. A grim day in history, to be sure, but one we should endeavor to learn from.The Nuremberg Race Laws | Holocaust EncyclopediaSenator Kyrsten Sinema has expressed serious concerns about the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) impending alteration to the joint-employer standard, hinting at a potential vote to overturn it through a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution. The proposed rule, which is set to finalize by October 12, seeks to expand the criteria for determining joint-employer status, including considering indirect and unexercised control over another company's employees. This marks a departure from the current legal test established in 2020, which focuses on direct and immediate control.Sinema voiced her opposition at an event organized by the International Franchise Association, a body lobbying against the NLRB's proposal. The senator indicated that the rule faces significant opposition in Congress, with concerns about its potential impact on franchises like McDonald's Corp. A bipartisan coalition, including Senators Joe Manchin, Angus King, Susan Collins, James Lankford, and Mike Braun, is already collaborating to address this issue, emphasizing the bureaucratic nature of the proposed changes.The CRA resolution, which requires the support of 51 senators to pass, could potentially bypass Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's authority to block it. Votes from Sinema, Manchin, and King will be pivotal, especially if all Republican members in both the House and Senate choose to reject the rule. However, even if the resolution passes in Congress, President Joe Biden retains the power to veto it, as seen in a previous instance in May concerning a rule from the US Labor Department.Sinema Pushes Back on Labor Board's Planned Joint Employer RuleThe first cases from the January 6 Capitol riot have reached the US Supreme Court. Edward Lang and Garrett Miller, who allegedly participated in the riot, are urging the court to dismiss the obstruction charges against them. These cases are part of over 200 instances where the government is utilizing a statute from the Enron era to penalize the rioters. The central issue is the applicability of a provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to the rioters who disrupted congressional activities.Lang's attorney, Norman Pattis, emphasized the growing concern over the overcriminalization of federal law and the potential misuse of prosecutorial discretion. However, Columbia law professor Daniel Richman finds it unlikely for the Supreme Court to intervene at this stage, especially given the absence of a split among federal courts of appeal, a typical precursor to Supreme Court involvement. The law under scrutiny, which punishes obstruction of official proceedings, is being challenged for its broad interpretation by the government, a stance that has seen support from judges Florence Pan and Justin R. Walker but faced dissent from Judge Gregory Katsas. The case brings up significant issues regarding the interpretation of the law, with a deadline for the federal government's response set for October 2.First Cases From Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Reach US Supreme CourtU.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith has rejected Donald Trump's plea to recuse Judge Tanya Chutkan from a federal case that accuses the former president of attempting to overturn the 2020 election results. Trump had filed a legal motion claiming that Chutkan's previous remarks in court indicated a lack of impartiality, potentially affecting the fairness of the trial. These remarks were made during the sentencing of individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, hinting at Trump's influence on the rioters. Despite Trump's criticisms of Chutkan on social media, Smith asserted that there was no valid reason for her recusal. The judge, appointed by former President Barack Obama, has been known for her stern stance against the Capitol attack, often imposing harsher sentences than those recommended by prosecutors. The decision on whether Chutkan will recuse herself from the case, one of four criminal cases Trump is currently facing, rests with her. Trump, who is eyeing the 2024 presidential nomination, has denied all charges and labeled the prosecution's efforts as politically motivated.US opposes Trump request to remove judge in federal election case | ReutersThe proprietors of Haven Salon Spa in Wisconsin, Timothy and Carley Dillet, have assured a federal judge that they will adhere to a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) directive, following their arrest for non-compliance. In 2021, the NLRB mandated the Dilletts to reinstate a staff member who was wrongfully terminated for scrutinizing the firm's COVID-19 protocols, along with other reparations including back pay and expunging the dismissal from the employee's record. Despite the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit affirming the NLRB's decision, the Dilletts consistently resisted full compliance, accruing over $30,000 in fines and legal fees. NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo warned employers of severe repercussions for flouting the law. The Dilletts and their legal representative have yet to comment on the matter.Spa Owners Vow to Comply After Arrest for Flouting Labor BoardThe impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is nearing its conclusion, with closing arguments scheduled for Friday. Paxton, a staunch conservative and ally of former President Donald Trump, faces 16 charges in the trial, including allegations of corruption and abuse of power, primarily concerning actions purportedly taken to shield a rich political donor under federal scrutiny and to conceal an extramarital affair. The trial has revealed deep divisions within the Texas Republican Party, with some members accusing Paxton of tarnishing the party and the state's reputation. The Senate, which is predominantly Republican, will decide Paxton's fate, requiring a two-thirds majority to convict him on any charge, which would result in his permanent removal from office.Paxton, who has been temporarily relieved of his duties pending the trial outcome, has denounced the proceedings as a political witch hunt. He has faced corruption allegations since his initial election in 2014, but managed to secure re-election last November. His defense team has portrayed the accusing former aides as rebellious political moderates, while the prosecution has presented them as credible conservative witnesses who reported their concerns to the FBI in 2020. The impeachment process was initiated after Paxton sought approval for a $3.3 million settlement with ex-employees who had accused him of office abuse, a request that was not granted by state legislators.Impeachment trial of Texas AG Paxton nears end, could see him removed | ReutersIn an unprecedented move, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union has initiated strikes against the three major American automakers: General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis. This is the first time in history that the union has simultaneously targeted all three companies, with workers walking out of plants in Missouri, Michigan, and Ohio. The UAW has termed this strategy as a "Stand Up Strike", a flexible approach allowing them to escalate their efforts progressively to secure fair contracts at each automaker. Initially, less than 13,000 of the 145,000 UAW members have participated in the strike, affecting a selection of plants that would significantly impact suppliers and dealers while minimizing the number of workers on strike pay.The strike follows the automakers' rejection of the union's demands for higher wages, enhanced benefits, and increased job protections, despite the companies enjoying record or near-record profits. The automakers had proposed substantial pay increases, but these did not meet the expectations of the union negotiators. The UAW aims to recover many benefits relinquished over a decade ago when the companies were nearing bankruptcy. The union is also advocating for the reinstatement of traditional pension plans and retiree health coverage for workers hired post-2007, and an end to forced overtime and the utilization of temporary workers. Moreover, the UAW expresses concerns over potential job losses and plant closures as the industry shifts towards electric vehicles, which require less labor for assembly compared to traditional vehicles.UAW workers launch unprecedented strike against all Big Three automakers Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Legally Texas cannot secede from the union. There has been a myth that it can because of the way it was annexed but the Congressional order of annexation merely stated Texas could - at a future date - divide itself into five states. It says nothing about leaving the union. The Texas Republican Party officially rejected the results of the 2020 presidential election over the weekend, passing a resolution that falsely blames election fraud in five battleground states for President Joe Biden's victory over former President Donald Trump. The resolution refers to Mr. Biden as "acting" president. Texas Republicans also passed a number of other far-right resolutions in the platform. The platform calls for the complete abolition of abortion, prohibiting "the teaching of sex education, sexual health, or sexual choice or identity in any public school in any grade whatsoever," and refers to homosexuality as "an abnormal lifestyle choice." The platform also calls for Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide, to be overturned. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He has offered critiques of the Texas governor's lack of leadership throughout the pandemic and shared his thoughts with Moulitsas and Eleveld on how Abbott's failure to adequately respond to the COVID-19 crisis and protect Texans' lives is one of many reasons why the Texas Republican Party is experiencing rapid losses from their ranks.

1. Is Secession Constitutional? "An Open Letter to Citizens of Texas" "An Answer to Rep. James Frank (TX-69) on the legality of secession. HB 1359, which calls for a "referendum vote" has been introduced into the TX house, and Frank says it is "illegal." This is wrong.

Asche estimates investor losses to be in excess of $63 million. She continued, "Dickey refused to admit even undisputed facts. Instead, he invoked the 5th Amendment so many times the SEC requested the court grant an inference of guilt." She also said that in his January 2006 trial, Dickey agreed to never dispute the allegations in the original complaint and "consented to the final judgment, and a pay a penalty of $35,000." Prior to the statement, Asche spent several minutes discussing the financial adversity facing the Texas Republican Party organization. After the statement (which is included in audio clip), in which Asche continuously struck a theme of "integrity is sadly lacking in our current (TRP) leadership," she hammered, "I personally feel (this record)disqualifies him from representing the TRP with donors and investors. She also remarked that Dickey's appointment occurred "because we didn't vet our candidates." GOP delegates will elect the TRP Chairman this summer at the state GOP convention.
