The buying of a court
This week the Associated Press released an article about one of our most pro-insurance justices on the Texas Supreme Court stating in part: “The state's top law firms and their attorneys donated $447,000 to help Texas Supreme Court Justice Nathan Hecht defend himself against charges that he abused his judicial office to promote Harriet Miers, his onetime girlfriend, for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court.”
In all opinions Hecht signed issued since March, he sided with these large donors to his personal legal defense fund 89% of time. This includes ruling in favor of chemical companies and polluters with an interest in the outcome of In re Allied Chemical Corporation and represented by a law firm that contributed $30,000 to Hecht’s fund.
We are exposed to hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising by corporate and insurance interests about “frivolous lawsuits” which poison the jury pools of our nation but little is said about the blatant buying of our Texas Supreme Court by corporate and insurance interests or the law firms that represent them.
It is time that we seek the truth and not just propaganda. http://www.bailey-law.com/lawyer-attorney-1215835.html
