Texas AG defends Trump in embarrassing Mar-a-Lago brief

Texas AG defends Trump in embarrassing Mar-a-Lago brief

Ostensibly filed in support of former President Donald Trump’s idiosyncratic challenge to the August 8 search of his Mar-a-Lago property, the brief had nothing at all to say about the legal issues raised.

Instead, over 10 pages of what might be called “argument,” the brief offered a laundry list of political complaints about the Biden administration — all of which, Texas argued, should lead courts to doubt federal government claims.

The brief doesn’t acknowledge the underlying dispute; it offers no argument in defense of the merits of Judge Cannon’s decision (or of Trump’s conduct); indeed, the word “classified” doesn’t appear once in the entire filing.

The “questionable conduct” to which Texas spends the rest of the brief objecting is ordinary litigation and regulatory behavior by the executive branch with which Texas just happens to disagree.

Indeed, the very first example the brief invokes involves a case in which the Supreme Court ruled for the Biden administration (and against Texas).

The entire brief is basically a laundry list of policy disputes between Texas and the federal government, not evidence that the Biden administration has done anything unlawful or illegitimate.

Even taken at face value, none of Texas’ critiques of the Biden administration’s behavior has anything to do with the federal agency actually involved in the Mar-a-Lago case — the FBI.

Never mind that any such funding would have long pre-dated the Biden administration; the brief doesn’t even try to connect those Covid claims to whether FBI agents acted appropriately at Mar-a-Lago.

In the first 18 months of Biden's presidency, Texas alone has filed 28 lawsuits against his administration.

The lawyers who signed this brief aren’t just partisan political officials; they are officers of the court and should’ve known better

Just two days later, Texas was at it again — filing an amicus brief on behalf of 10 red states arguing that the 11th Circuit should protect South Carolina Sen
