God works in mysterious ways, and I can prove it.

The Texas Supreme Court is about to hear a fight between people who have brains on one side and the Texas Governor and Attorney General on the other.  It’s a real clear cut line.

The right to vote by mail if you are afraid of catching a deadly disease while voting in person is being challenged. It’s been upheld by district courts and one federal court but Republicans took it to the Texas Supreme Court because every damn justice on the Texas Supreme Court is a snake oil Republican.  Every. Damn. One.

In Texas you can vote by mail if you are over 65, will be out of the county during early voting and election day, are residing in a county jail awaiting trail, or are disabled.  Texas does not define disabled.  In Texas, you are disabled if you say you are disabled.

The run-off election is July 14 and early voting will begin July 6.

Everybody knows the Republican Coven of a Supreme Court we have in Texas will rule for extremely long lines to vote on new machines that no one has used before.  Yesterday, they stayed the decision of a lower court.

And then … then …

The little print says, “We began to exhibit symptoms last week, despite diligently complying with stay-at-home rules,” the justice wrote.

Justice Debra Lehrmann and her husband both got the virus.

Now it gets interesting.

Lehrmann’s doctor has told her that it takes at least 10 days to recover from the coronavirus but that she must track how she feels and be symptom-free for three days before being sure that the virus is gone. She is now on her 10th day of having the virus, and her husband is on his 11th day, she said. But they’ve both measured a fever this week, which means the infection is still there.
