It's obvious to anyone that the Texas Supreme Court is crony capitalism central
No doubt republicans are crony capitalists. No doubt corporations run Texas.
In the last 10 years, the majority of Texas Supreme Court decisions have favored corporate interests over consumers, and the panel of judges has repeatedly overstepped its authority by overturning jury verdicts and interpreting the law to benefit the rich, according to a scathing report set to be released today by consumer advocacy group Texas Watch.
“The Texas Supreme Court has marched in lock-step to consistently and overwhelmingly reward corporate defendants and the government at the expense of Texas families,” the report says.

Part of the problem is the fact that the Texas Supreme Court Justices have to run for office.
If you look back at Lawrence v. Texas - the three-judge appeals panel voted initially to knock down the sodomy law.... Except then the Texas Republican Party told the two GOP judges that they would not be re-elected, so when the appeals court heard the case en banc, they changed their votes!
As a judge, you shouldn't have to worry that you're going to lose your job if you follow the Constitution instead of the political winds.
Pitiful!
True.
