    Ken sued the FedGov for illegally passing the 2023 omnibus funding bill. A Federal court agrees.

    Court: Democrats Unconstitutionally Spent $1.7 Trillion (thefederalist.com)

    Money quote (no pun here folks)
    "Congress lacked the constitutionally required quorum to pass the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, a federal court ruled Tuesday. Accordingly, the Biden administration cannot enforce the new mandates imposed on Texas by the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which was part of the omnibus spending bill. However, Tuesday’s ruling left untouched the $1.7 trillion in appropriations, and with most of the money already spent, there is no real remedy for the Democrat-controlled Congress and White House’s blatant disregard for the Constitution."

    Texas got what they wanted, but this kicks the door open for a ton of related suits..... Let the fun and games begin!

    Paxton is a Texas patriot first, kinda shady-business-dealings politician second.
