As I have said in the past, Fridays are hard on me while I await the weekly orders from the Texas Supreme Court. Well, the orders came out at 9 a.m., and my case remains pending.
I have a lot I am working on. A question I have pondered for over 40 years is, are a public official's oath of office discretionary?
The immunity doctrine says it is. So, if the oath of office is discretionary what is the point of the oath? Last week Congress waived immunity against officials who illegally obtain records from Senators. For this type of immunity there is nothing, and I mean nothing, in the constitution which provides for immunity.
In my mind immunity does not exist. It is 100% judge made law. Courts can compel public officials to do their job, but because the Oath of Office is discretionary, they cannot be compelled to uphold their oath of office.
Just think about that.
