This Friday, the Texas Supreme Court rejected InfoWars host Alex Jones' request to throw out four defamation suits against him from parents of children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School back in 2012, the Austin American-Statesman reports.
The lawsuits were filed in Travis County, where Jones' media empire is based, and argued that Jones' comments suggesting that the shooting was staged caused the parents emotional distress. Friday's ruling upheld rulings by two lower courts that allowed the lawsuits to continue.
"Our clients have been tormented for five years by Mr. Jones' ghoulish accusations that they are actors who faked their children's deaths as part of a fraud on the American people. Enough is enough," said Mark Bankston, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said in 2018 after filing lawsuits against the pro-Trump conspiracy theorist.

what better place for Alex to prove his claim that was all faked.

and trying to over throw our government.

after request. When is he going to be held responsible for what he's done? The wheels of justice don't turn slowly-it seems they don't turn at all.

stretch it out endlessly until the plaintiff exhausts their resources.
Jones is being bankrolled somehow.

Alex Jones is about to reach justice. This just broke this morning.
All the legal experts across the country said Little Bubba would never get this case past the Texas Supreme Court (all Republican) and for that reason it was foolish of him to file it in Texas. Not just the Sandy Hook parents, but both the cases Little Bubba filed on Jones have been upheld.
