Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who never met a federal law he didn't want to defy, has suddenly discovered his inner control freak when it comes to what Texans can put in their own bodies.

Despite his constant chest-thumping about Texas sovereignty and telling the feds to mind their own business, Paxton is now throwing a legal tantrum over Dallas residents having the audacity to vote for their own marijuana policies. A whopping 67% of Dallas voters said "yes" to keeping cops out of their personal business, but apparently local democracy only counts when Paxton agrees with the outcome.

On Wednesday, the liberty-loathing AG filed a lawsuit against Dallas, joining his growing collection of legal crusades against Texas cities that dare to let their citizens make their own choices about pot.

I’m wondering if he will be the next appointee for attorney general. He went out of the way to catch tfg’s eye.

4. Pax is a pox on all of Texas

For all we care, he can come and rant in Dealy Plaza on weekdays from noon to 1PM about how evil everything he doesn’t like is.

What control freaks these Republicans are. Marijuana? Abortion? LGBTQ? No business of mine, and if they ain’t no business of mine, they sure as hell ain’t no business of his.
