You've got my vote! I'll even donate money to your campaign. The CCA could use a jurist who isn't just a former prosecutor now acting as co-counsel on the bench for the State. Good luck!

I don’t have anything interesting or insightful to add, but that’s the story of my life. Bullshit. (Do yourself a favor. If you follow one link from this blog, follow that one.)

Good luck, Mark. I don’t have anything interesting or insightful to add, but that’s the story of my life.

The two threads of mainstream (!) libertarian political thought in America are minarchism and anarchocapitalism.

It’s possible that I mischaracterize the anarchocapitalists when I call them anarchists, but I don’t think so.

Thanks, Mark.

Don’t mix up anarchism and libertarianism. You americans have proud traditions on both strands of the antiauthoritarian spectrum, give them both credit . Last time I heard of an ‘anarchist’ in government was back in pre-civil war republican spain (Minister of Justice, ironically), and the guy who first coined the word in its modern political context was also a member of his national parliament (Prouhon, of ‘property is theft’ fame / France) for a period. But they are rare, unlike the libertarians, who seem often involved with big government of any particular colour.

But that’s just my view from semi socialist aussie down under.

Good luck in the coming dust up.

I have registered with the Libertarian Party of Texas. I don’t know if they’ve passed it on to the state.
