Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was dealt a new blow on Friday after the state Supreme Court upheld a gun ban on the State Fair of Texas despites his efforts to overturn it.
The highest court in the state rejected on Thursday night an emergency filing by Paxton, as the event begins on Friday. "It should go without saying —though perhaps it cannot be said often enough— that a judge's role in this case is not to decide whether the State Fair made a wise decision. Our job, instead, is to decide whether Texas law allowed the State Fair to make the decision for itself," reads a passage of the court's ruling.
