When I'm Texas Attorney General I won't stand for it

[David Van Os]

More and more continues to be revealed about the Bushite regime’s scorn for the Bill of Rights. Now we see they enlisted their corporate allies in their plan to destroy the Constitution. When I’m Texas Attorney General I won't stand for it. I’ll use every tool at my disposal to protect the Constitutional rights and liberties of the people of Texas against this runaway federal regime and its corporate cronies. Individual Texans won’t have to hire expensive private lawyers to sue the phone companies and the federal government to protect their Constitutional rights. They will have a people’s lawyer to do it for them.

4. David Van Os is the REAL DEAL. Real programs for fair elections.

This is what a real sentinel of democracy says, how the logic of free and fair elections flows effortlessly.

Van Os deserves our strong support.

David Van Os, a Texas lawyer and candidate for Texas attorney general, said:

"Now you tell me. How in the world can a system prohibit undue influence in elections from power, bribery, tumult, or other improper practices when there is no way to verify whether the things that are going on inside the machine are even recording the votes as the voters intend? How in the world can the purity of the ballot box be preserved when even the voter who cast the ballot has no way of knowing what actually got recorded on his ballot in the interior of the machine? Clearly, it can't, and can't."

5. Got any ideas/approaches regarding STANDING?

the primary way that citizen rights have been clamped down upon is not through direct reversal of the laws, but by restricting access to the courts. Your promise that texans "won't have to hire expensive private lawyers" implicitly responds to this point, but perhaps you can expand on it.

8. standing

I'm a litigator. When I decide to take on an injustice in the courts, my operating premise is that I am going to do it, not that I am going to worry about whether or not I can do it. The will to challenge an injustice comes first. The research and draftmanship to create the way to do it is a matter of technical application coming after the will to move forward is established. Standing is a technical issue I have litigated on many occasions in many contexts.

The AG has inherent state consitutional power to pursue restraint against private corporations from acting contrary to law. Article 4 Section 22, Texas Constitution. AG John L. Hill, Jr., utilized these inherent powers in his memorable, successful suit against Southwestern Bell in the 1970s over unreasonably high telephone rates. That is one example and there are other examples.

The AG, like the AGs of most states, has inherent state constitutional powers to pursue restraint against federal officials in federal courts from taking unconstitutional or illegal actions. There are many examples of various states pursuing such actions in the federal courts.

Thank you for your comment. It will all be interesting and exciting, I believe.
