Judge Jenkins responds to AG Paxton's letter, saying that he cannot believe that Gov. Abbott didn't want to follow his own orders

There are links to the AG. letter and to the Jenkin's response in the article.

On my Facebook feed last night was a copy of the letter from Judge Jenkins which said that since Gov. Abbott had not listed lawyers on the list of businesses that could open, law offices could not. Of course, the wags posting it and commenting on it suggested that the letter was retaliation for a lawyer having gotten the hair salon owner so quickly through the Texas Supreme Court.

So unless Dallas and Dallas county have stopped arresting people (humor intended), the order seems to lean toward denying people their right to representation. I realize that lawyers don't need offices to get people out of jail but paralegals are used to do the leg work for legal actions and if the assistants cannot be in the offices to do that research, cases can be impacted.

This could be interesting. I have to go through two counties and several municipalities to get to our church. We are doing recordings for online services and I have a rehearsal today for the recording session tomorrow evening. As I understand it, those preparing the online worship have been given an exemption for the shelter in place directives but that doesn't mean that all of the organizations that might be involved have gotten the entire message.

I thought that it was ironic last night when they were talking about the "patchwork" of restrictions being imposed by the various organizations and that people could easily be confused about what can be done where. I wanted to scream at the TV "welcome to the firearms topic."
