Four Former Presidents of the Texas State Bar joined a Group of High-Profile Lawyers, on Wednesday, to File an Ethics Complaint against Texas Attorney, General Ken Paxton (R), over his Efforts to Overturn President Biden's 2020 Election Victory against Trump.
Paxton filed a widely Criticized Lawsuit with the Supreme Court, in December, 2020, in which he Sued the Battleground States: Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, over what he claimed were "unconstitutional irregularities" in their Election Processes. The Supreme Court Rejected the Lawsuit, which came as Trump and his Allies, repeatedly promoted Baseless Allegations that the 2020 Presidential Election was "rigged" or "stolen."
The Organization Lawyers Defending American Democracy (LDAD), which asserts it is Not Partisan, Filed the Lawsuit in connection with 16 Prominent Texas Attorneys.
"The injunction Mr. Paxton sought with the Supreme Court would have usurped the presidency for the next four years and cast doubt on whether truly democratic presidential elections would ever have been restored in America," Jim Harrington, One of the Complaints Signers and a retired Founder of the Texas Civil Rights Project, said in a Statement, published on LDAD's website.
Harrington said Paxton's Actions "demonstrated his disregard for the ethical rules which govern lawyers and for our country's democratic principles." Gershon Ratner, Co-Founder of LDAD, explained Paxto's Lawsuit did Not have "Standing," as the Supreme Court inevitably Determined.
Ratner described Paxton's Lawsuit as "a prescription for an autocratic president to perpetuate his power indefinitely against the will of the voters," according to a Statement Published on LDAD's website.
Texas Lawyer reported the 31-page Complaint was sent to Seana Willing, Chief Disciplinary Counsel for the State's Bar Association.
The Attorneys asked the Texas Bar to Review their Complaint and to consider Suspending the Attorney General from Practicing Law, or Disbar him altogether.
Paxton was already under Investigation after the Chair of the Galveston Island Democrats Club, filed a similar Complaint against him.
The Attorney General has described that Complaint as "unconstitutional."
Trump and his Allies continue to groundlessly claim Biden Won the Presidential Election through Widespread Voter Fraud.
Dozens of Election Challenge Lawsuits, filed by Trump and his Supporters, Failed, in State and Federal Courts.
Even Judges Appointed by Trump and other Republicans Rejected the often Bizarre Allegations.
Former U.S. Attorney General, William Barr, who was widely viewed as One of Trump's most Loyal Cabinet Members, said in December, 2020, there was "no evidence" to Substantiate the Claims of Widespread Fraud.
Audits and Recounts in Key Battleground States, including in places where the Election was Overseen by Pro-Trump Republicans, have Reaffirmed Biden's Victory as well.
So far, Two States, Arizona and Pennslyvania, had to Decertify their Voting Machines used in Audits, at a Cost to their Taxpayers. AZ will spend $3 Million and PA will Pay Fees to Replace their Rented Voting Machines.
