That was the lawsuit where 140+ members of the house endorsed and which was dismissed by the SCOTUS without a hearing
A group of Texas lawyers, including four past presidents of the State Bar of Texas, filed a complaint Wednesday asking bar regulators to suspend or disbar Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for actions supporting efforts to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election.
Asserting Paxton has brought dishonor to his fellow Texas lawyers and the legal profession, the group of 16 prominent Texas lawyers and the group Lawyers Defending American Democracy said in the complaint that Paxton has engaged in a pattern of serious violations of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct.
The group cited the U.S. Supreme Court action Paxton filed in December 2020 seeking to overturn the election results, which the court dismissed for lack of standing. He wanted the court to enjoin four states that went for Democrat Joe Biden from using the results of their elections to appoint electors, and instead to appoint new electors or none at all.
The complaint also alleges Paxton continued after that to engage in ethical violations in support of Trumps effort to overturn the election results, including by urging a crowd of people near the White House on Jan. 6 to march to the U.S. Capital to pressure Congress to change what it was meeting to do, which was to properly count Electoral College votes and declare the rightful winner.
The lawyers allege in the complaint that Paxtons conduct cannot be acceptable from any licensed lawyer in the U.S., let alone the attorney general of a state.
