Seems to me there's an easy solution, Governor Abbott

Just pardon her.
With the backing of the Republican governor, the Texas attorney general is urging a Dallas judge to free a salon owner he jailed Tuesday after she refused to apologize for keeping her business open in violation of the governor's coronavirus order.

The office of Attorney General Ken Paxton told Dallas County State District Judge Eric Moyé in a letter that he abused his discretion when he "unjustly jailed" Shelly Luther for seven days, Fox News reported.

More GOP political theater.

Speaking of which, I just saw Trey Gowdy in a clip from Foxnews, have you seen him lately?
When did he become a lesbian?

I haven't seen him lately. Has he, indeed, er, changed his pronouns?

Veeshir said...

No, just his hair and glasses. Check youtube for an appearance on Foxnews today.
He looks like Maddow with bleach blonde hair.
See if this link works.

If it doesn't, do an image search for 'Trey Gowdy holding China accountable'. It's a foxnews screengrab.

Oh, man! Rachel Maddow's younger, and prettier, sister!

I saw someone from the governor's or IG's staff say he can't pardon her because it's contempt of court.
So I guess it's not Failure Theater but a case of separation of powers.
The Constitution only seems to be relevant to screw We The People.

Shelly Luther has been released, unless I'm mistaken, according the local news last night. Luther is the face of the resistance. Her strength, courage, and commitment are laudable. Shelley is a true Texas lady.

OT When governors reopen certain businesses, why is the date at the end of the week? Salons and barber shops should have been given the green light that day. Also, why were restaurants reopened at only 25% capacity? That's ludicrous for small mom and pops, and a judge here in Medina County Texas agreed. The capacity was increased to 50%.
