The organization Lawyers Defending American Democracy, 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.
A group of high-profile lawyers in Texas have filed an ethics complaint against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Paxton speaks during the Conservative Political Action Conference held at the Hilton Anatole on July 11 in Dallas.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 the 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.
