That bill was designed to be something to promote religious liberty and help the developing cities and entities push religious entities being able to develop these areas.
But in doing so, it was going to specifically promote the ability of mosques
and Muslim-oriented and Islam-centered entities to be able to sue local jurisdictions to stop them if they prohibited these mosques from being built and these Islamic cities like Epic City from being built.
Now, my colleague, I don't know whether he did it intentionally or naive, but I know that he tried to dupe people because he amended the language that was the description of the bill, but he didn't change the text of the bill as it moved through the Senate and to the Senate Calendars Committee.
And the problem here is, Steve, you can't be naive and be the Attorney General of Texas.
You can't go up and do a nice sounding bill that's good for religious liberty and then ignore the fact that you're going to give fuel to the Islamists who wanna remake Texas.
You gotta have the smartest lawyers in the world
working at the Office of Attorney General.
And that starts at the top.
And I've been a prosecutor.
I've been a lawyer.
I've been in court.
I have led the office under Kent Paxton.
My opponent has done none of those things.
There's no room for on-the-job training.
And so this is an important issue people need to pay attention to.
The Federalist broke this story yesterday.
It's a really important glimpse into what a naive Attorney General could do to the state of Texas.
That's why I need everybody to turn out May 26th.
So that bill got to the calendars.
