10 DAYS SINCE THE ELECTION AND THE TEXAS TRIBUNE FAILS TO REPORT THE SOON TO BE CHIEF JUSTICE IS BI-SEXUAL

She has already stated she intends to remove form the Comments in the Canons of Professional Conduct that judges do not have to marry gay people if they do not want to.

 

THE STATEWIDE TEXAS DEMOCRATS ARE FACED WITH THE PROBLEM OF, DO THEY RUN COVER FOR THE JUDICIARY OR EXPOSE WHAT HAPPENED UNDER NATHAN HECHT?

The incoming Chief Justice who is bi-sexual, has announced she intends to reverse the Comment allowing for discrimination in performing same sex marriages, which the current Court placed in the Rules of Professional Conduct.

There are four democrats poised to vote for the change.  Justice Devine is an unknown on the issue.  I can tell you he has recused himself in my case against the city twice refusing to vote on any matter tied to the Comment. I will also tell you, he was denounced statewide for refusing to Recuse himself in a sexual case involving a client his firm has represented.  Devine is a problem.  He can be used to pressure one Republican to join the Democrats to remove the Comment. There are three Justices up for reelection in 2028, which could give the Texas Supreme Court a 7-person majority.

It will take just one of three to flip to end discrimination by judges against the LGBT+ community. 

 

DEMOCRATIC LEASDERSHIP ANNOUNCES BIPARTISIAN TRANSITION

Governor elect Gina Hinojosa, Lt. Governor elect Vikki Godwin, and Presumptive Texas House Speaker, Senfronia Thompson announce key Republicans will be part of their transition teams.  This is good.  The three seem to understand the voice for change won the election and not a desire to elect Democrats per se. 

If a real voice for change persists, I believe the Democrats can flip enough Senate seats to control both the Texas Senate and House.

At the national level, 2028, should be a good year for Democrats in the US Senate.  There are only three democratic Senate seats in danger of flipping in 2028.  The Democrats currently hold 55 seats and possibly 56 once the election in Alaska is resolved.

There are more Republican seats which can flip in 2028, than Democratic seats.

We do not need witch trials at either the state or national level. Some oversight cannot be avoided, but the Democrats need to pick their fights carefully.

We can go into 2028, with total control over redistricting which will leave the Republicans in the minority for a decade or longer.

VICENTE GONZALEZ CAN BE EXPECTED TO FACE A STRONG PRIMARY OPPONENT

He remains in office as part of the blue wave.  His first big vote will be for Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker of the House.  He will stand with the old and the pro-Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people.  We have time to recruit the right candidate as a true progressive.

A Republican will not win his seat.  So, the only option is to run a true Progressive against Vicente in the 2028 Primaries.  It will happen if we want it to happen.

VICENTE CARES MORE ABOUT SETTLING SCORES THAN VETERANS

Vicente has had more than enough time to address my complaint that it takes the VA 10 months or longer to process travel claims.  I am owed thousands.  Just the surgery with the long-term hotel bill, gas and food is approaching $1,000.  If I am lucky, I will get paid in September of 2027.  

The process for filing a travel claim is a nightmare.  I have met so many veterans who file paper claims instead of online because the online process is like searching for Waldo.  It takes experience and skill to find the link.

Paper claims take even longer.  Veterans on a fixed income cannot use the Mission Act to secure out of the area healthcare.  

Vicenti is mad at me so he will not even acknowledge my demand for an investigation.

 

GINA HINOJOSA HITS HOMERUN ON ELECTICITY RATES, WHILE HAKEEM JEFFRIES FALLS ON HIS FACE WITH IMPEACHMENT OF HEGSETH

AFTER JEFFRIES PUSHES FOR ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT OF HEGSETH, REPUBLICANS SHUT HIM DOWN

So, let's look to the facts.  Gina Hinojosa is trying to help Texans on affordability and Jeffries is using limited political capital to impeach Hegseth

Jeffries is the wrong person for Speaker of the House.

Stay focus Gina.

Gina Hnojosa did not play her endless speeches in the LRGV FB. They were good and showed her to me very progressive and smart.  She is using her time to push affordability while Jeffries is using limited political capital to anger the Republicans.

My hats off to Gina. 

 

IT HAS BEEN A ROUGH PATCH 

Apparently some 60-70% of people will feel their arm on fire when the propofol is being administered.  I have had many surgeries, and this has never happened to me.  Well, it did.  I was yelling out my arm is on fire.  She calmed me until I was out.  It was bad.

The surgery went well, but the post-surgery has been really bad.  On my arm, the physiology 

 of my veins is the source of the burning pain.

Things have change over the last 7 years.  Because he only replaced the valve and not the drainage tube, I was discharged by 3 p.m. the same day.  I went back to the hotel, and all was fine.  I was told 24 hours after anesthesia I could drive.  The drive back was fine.  

I woke up on Saturday in real bad shape. I never really got out of bed.  I slept all day.  Going into Sunday morning it was vomiting, diarrhea, and a very painful bloated stomach. I just slept all day Sunday and until 3:30 p.m. On Monday.  I went to Bingo.  I would have been better off in bed.

I am working hard to make sure the Senate Judiciary Commission has everything they need on Judge Sullivan.  Any state judge who things they can rule in a federal judge is not ft to be a judge.  I am working on it.  Right now, my fatigue is mild, so I can get work done.

Today I am compiling documents for the Senate Judiciary Committee.  

 

YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS UP - TRUMP NOMINATES JAMES SULLIVAN TO A LIFETIME FEDERAL JUDGSHIP AFTER BEING TOSSED FROM THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT

Here is the problem, I am suing him for interfering with my federal case because as a member of the Texas Supreme Court he was of the opinion he could issue orders in a pending federal case.

His name and acts are squarely before the federal court of appeals.  It is clear, Trump's staff are not vetting his nominees.  Remember his press secretary lasted a week. 

Another nominee, Maria Chapa Lopez's nomination remains pending after the hearing.  She failed the Bar Exam twice.  She was a successful US Attorney for the Middle District of Florida under Trump.  She has a stellar resume since finally passing the Bar, but some have asked which side of justice she has worked for her entire career.   

Trump's staff seems to fail him when it comes to vetting judicial candidates. 

I will bet Trump will pull Sullivan's nomination.

I think Trump will be loyal to Maria Chapa Lopez.  She has been loyal enough to the Republicans her entire professional career.  She made her name prosecuting active military personnel and now wants to oversee Veteran's Appeals.  It does not fit.

Oh, in 76' my mother was disappointed I had no desire to date her.  They met on the phone a few times.  Those of us who knew her knew she was not going to be a progressive. It was odd because her parents worked hard as immigrants to build a successful business.  

She did three years at UTEP before doing her final year at UT in hopes of getting into UT's law school. She did not make it.  As a second-year law student I helped her to study for the Bar, which she finally passed.
