Texas "Ethics" Commission fails to show up at own hearing

“Am I a God near at hand,” says the Lord,
“And not a God afar off?
Can anyone hide himself in secret places,
So I shall not see him?” says the Lord;
“Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the Lord.
Jeremiah 23:23-24

Texas State Capitol -- Earlier this afternoon, the Texas "Ethics" Commission failed to show up at a hearing they'd scheduled in the Empower Texans case several months ago.  After the no-show, Micheal and Joe Nixon (Michael's lawyer) held a media availability with select Texas outlets.  Their remarks to us below:



Highlights:

• "We showed up and the Ethics commission isn't here."

• T.E.C. set hearing in early December, then last Monday sent a letter saying they wanted a bunch of documents or they'd cancel the hearing.
• Empower Texans had filed a regular objection 11 months ago.
• T.E.C. never responded to E.T.'s original objection but just cancelled the hearing.

• Nixon: "In my opinion, they simply were not prepared to go forward."

• There's no legal basis for the complaint.

• Maybe reset for April 15th.
• Author's Note: Oh, the irony!!!

• ET can afford to fight this, average citizens cannot.

• Nevada Supreme Court: "Ties go to free speech."
