I would characterize the ordsprog

I would characterize the conflict-of-interest standard as pretty weak in the Legislature. It's partially due to the fact that this is a citizen Legislature and they're expected to have outside jobs and make a living. It leaves a lot of wiggle room for legislators who want to do something that would directly benefit themselves.

The fact that the Legislature has to approve the budget for an agency that oversees their activities is kind of a conflict of interest.

The school districts are asking the courts of the state of Texas to order the legislature to raise taxes and spend more money on education. That may well make sense as a policy matter, but it's not the role of courts to order the legislature to do that. Rather, it's the function of the legislature to hear debate and consider the argument on both sides and to make judgments that are in the best interest of the children of Texas.

Its basically a pay-to-play system. We need to ensure that every citizen has an opportunity to have their voice heard with their legislators and the Legislature.

History has shown that the Legislature has never done that. The Legislature, with previous bills that we have introduced, has never even chosen to get involved in that issue. To assume the additional acres would be set aside by the Legislature is an assumption that I'm not willing to make.

We have a citizen Legislature, and the public is reflected in its Legislature. Most people probably would prefer to be governed by someone with a little more experience, a little more education. I think most people would.

Elizabeth Smith

I believe the Legislature is going to look at that. The fact that the assessments are out there will force the Legislature to look at what they can do to reduce Citizens' exposure.

It will have to be a constitutional change. But keep in mind the legislature. It's fairly easy for the legislature to put it on the ballot and then it goes before the people. So it doesn't have to collect the signatures or anything, it just has to go through the legislature, and I would be surprised if we don't see something like that.

Foreign judges and legislators are not accountable to the American people. If our courts rely on a foreign judge's opinion or a foreign legislature's enactment, then that foreign judge or legislature binds us on key constitutional issues,

Alberto Gonzales

The fact that the governor vetoed it didn't change the fact that the legislature expressed an interest in it.

We go through this every year with the Legislature, and we have to wait to see what we are going to do. We can make all the plans in the world but unless we know what the Legislature is going to do, it doesn't mean anything.

Annette Singletary

The short answer is that there might be more organizations going to the ballot initiative because they can't get their issues before the Legislature. Either that or they don't agree with what the Legislature has done. Either way, the reason we're doing our initiative is it won't get done by the Republican Legislature.

That will be the biggest policy issue the Legislature has had to address in a long time, ... and it's coming like a speeding bullet. Legislators are going to have to make that determination.

When a legislature undertakes to proscribe the exercise of a citizen's constitutional rights it acts lawlessly and the citizen can take matters into his own hands and proceed on the basis that such a law is no law at all.

Justice William Orville Douglas (1898-1980)

We don't usually look to take on the Legislature over something. We make our living working with them.
