Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton s complaint to the U.S. Supreme Court, filed in December in an attempt to nullify election results in four states won by Democrat Joe Biden, was drafted by lawyers close to the Trump campaign and shopped to Republican leaders around the country, according to a New York Times report.
One of the lawyers who wrote the draft, Lawrence Joseph, was hired by Paxton to serve as a special outside counsel at no cost to Texas to help on the Supreme Court complaint, which was filed Dec. 7, the same day Paxton retained Joseph, the Times reported.

The Second Amendment stands at a critical crossroad in America. The future of gun rights in America will likely be decided not decades from now, but within the next few years. It is imperative that conservatives, in particular, who historically have been strongly supportive of the right to keep and bear arms, understand not just the practical benefits to our society from a robust Second Amendment, but the philosophical foundations of gun rights as premised on the protection of our God-given, natural rights. Only with this well-armed, well-rounded expertise will supporters of the Second Amendment be properly equipped to mount a successful defense of such rights that increasingly are in danger from activists and politicians of all stripes and at all levels.
Steven Crowder Announces Lawsuit Against Facebook
Conservative host Steven Crowder said on Feb. 1 that he’s suing Facebook over “unfair competition, fraud, false advertising, and antitrust.”
Crowder attorney Bill Richmond said on Crowder’s YouTube channel that the lawsuit is “already initiated,” and he accused the tech giant of false advertising, antitrust violations, unfair competition, and fraud.
“The key remedy is injunctive relief (stop unfair/deceptive acts). We’re also seeking seven-figure monetary damages. The goal here is forcing honesty and clarity in policy application and enforcement,” according to Crowder’s website.
“Our broader point is that we are pro-business but anti-fraud. Facebook lured consumers and creators to spend money and provide data and views under the promise of not engaging in political, racial or religious bias in enforcing their policies, but they have done so both expressly and secretively, and hence, the suit.”
“Even in a pandemic, the Constitution cannot be put away and forgotten”.

Brooklyn v Cuomo, United States Supreme Court (November 25, 2020)
Santa Fe, NM- State Representative Jim Townsend (R-Artesia), Rep. Rod Montoya (R-Farmington), and Rep. Larry Scott (R-Hobbs) today filed a lawsuit with the New Mexico Supreme Court over unconstitutional House rules changes adopted one-week into the 60-day legislative session.
These rule changes are significantly different than those of the Senate chamber, in which the Senate will operate in an manner where their chamber will ensure it legislates from “the seat of government” as is set forth in the New Mexico constitution. During floor debate on these rule changes, House Republican lawmakers highlighted significant constitutional concerns as to the validity of any action the House may take, as well the significant reduction of public access to the legislative process.

Colorado Springs Business Journal, featured Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers; Tatiana Bailey, director of the UCCS Economic Forum; and Aikta Marcoulier director of the Pikes Peak Small Business Development Center. The panelists fielded questions about the economy, the housing and commercial real estate market, and the ongoing saga over the permanent home of U.S. Space Command.
The mayor had good news about the cityâs financial status. âAmazingly enough, the city is doing quite well,â he said. âWe certainly didnât look that way in March and April. In March, city revenues were down 14 percent. In April, they were down 23 percent. We were modelling for as much as a 30 percent decrease in city revenues â $110 to $120 million, but itâs a tremendous tribute to the resiliency of our citizens that things changed pretty dramatically. As of right now, without seeing December, weâre only a half a percent down in Gen
