Texas Supreme Court rebukes Annise Parker...AGAIN!!!


"He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck,
Will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
Proverbs 29:1

And the farce continues to grow larger:
The Texas Supreme Court has again overruled Mayor Annise Parker's administration in connection with the legal fight over her signature nondiscrimination ordinance, ruling Wednesday that the mayor and City Council erred in choosing the language that will appear on the November ballot when the ordinance faces possible repeal.

The justices, writing in "yet another mandamus proceeding concerning the City of Houston's equal rights ordinance," said the city charter is clear in requiring that voters be asked to vote for or against the ordinance. Parker had instead argued it was proper to vote for or against repealing the measure, and the council approved language with that approach Aug. 5.

"Though the ordinance is controversial, the law governing the City Council's duties is clear. Our decision rests not on our views on the ordinance — a political issue the citizens of Houston must decide — but on the clear dictates of the City Charter," the justices wrote. "The City Council must comply with its own laws regarding the handling of a referendum petition and any resulting election."
