Abbott lied in the debate w/ Wendy Davis



I thought it was odd that he wouldn't cite the specific law, so I did some of my own research. (you may recall that I asked about that here) I figured that there was some law that he was misinterpreting or twisting slightly.

There is no such law. Period.

In 2011 a bill was passed, HB 2454, that requires notice to the A.G. whenever a suit is filed which questions the constitutionality of a law passed by the legislature. It also requires 45 days notice to the AG before a final order can be entered by the judge.

It says absolutely nothing about settling or continuing any kind of lawsuit.

Red State is crowing about how he shut her down with this comment. I wanted to comment, but you've got to register and I will not. Here is the link.

Perry never even bothered to debate, right? Abbot gets forced into it and then lies. Where's the media in Texas to call him out on this?
