"You're by far the worst poster on TWeb" and "TWeb's biggest liar" --starlight (the guy who says Stalin was a right-winger)
"Overall I would rate the withdrawal from Afghanistan as by far the best thing Biden's done" --Starlight
"Of course, human life begins at fertilization that’s not the argument." --Tassman

Conference call with Ken Paxton summary...
So far, AG is in the investigative stage, gathering in formation.
Apparently, various city council members are documented as giving differing accounts of the process, some of which are clearly hostile to religious liberty - those appear to be the ones that will be called in for depositions.
Supposedly, because there are federal funds involved (Department of Transportation), there are requirements and limitations on how the City of San Antonio issues contracts.
It's like the bid process was proceeding normally and legally, then the city council stepped in and perverted the process.
Several SCOTUS cases were cited, and it appears that Paxton plans on taking this all the way to the top, as there are other cities in the nation making the same bad decisions.
Texas HB3172 and HB1075 are being referenced - 3172 deals with religious freedom issues, and appear to be being amended to include religious freedom issues in commerce.
Fairly brief call reporting that the issue is being actively investigated, and the AG seems confident that the city of San Antonio council will be shown to have acted in bad faith, and with extreme prejudice.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

This needs to be slapped down and slapped down hard so as to send a message.

The vote is TODAY --
THIS IS IT! The ‘Save Chick-fil-A’ religious freedom bill, SB 1978, is on today’s Major State Calendar in the Texas House. The bill is scheduled for a full floor vote by the Texas House, likely starting around 10 AM THIS MORNING. Passing the Texas House is the final step before the bill goes to Governor Abbott to be signed into law.
ETA: Passed about Noon.Last edited by Cow Poke; 05-20-2019, 02:10 PM.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I'll post updates as we get them, but it's essentially illegal now in Texas to eliminate an establishment for consideration for contracts based on their religious beliefs.

Here's another account from the Texas Tribune....
Over the tearful opposition of the Legislature’s first-ever LGBTQ Caucus and several failed attempts at a procedural block, the Texas House on Monday passed a religious liberty bill that LGBTQ advocates fear would license discrimination against their communities.
When the lower chamber first considered the bill just over a week ago, the LGBTQ Caucus torpedoed it with a procedural move. This time, an attempt to do the same failed, as did emotional exhortations from the five women who make up the caucus.
After two hours of debate, Senate Bill 1978 — which prohibits government entities from punishing individuals or organizations for their “membership in, affiliation with, or contribution ... to a religious organization” — passed on a nearly party-line preliminary vote, 79 to 62. If the House grants formal approval and the Senate agrees to a change made on the lower chamber’s floor Monday, the bill will head to the governor.
“This bill is going to pass, let’s face it,” said state Rep. Celia Israel, D-Austin, said from the front of the chamber minutes before her colleagues cast their votes. “It’s been cloaked in religious freedom, but the genesis, the nexus of this bill, is in hatred.”The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
