Libertarian Party of Texas Stands with Plaintiffs in Lawsuit Challenging Tarrant County Commissioners Court "Decorum Policy"
FORT WORTH, TX — The Libertarian Party of Texas has long held that governing is best done as close to home as possible because that is where it tends to be the most responsive and the most accountable to its constituents. However, according to numerous reports from Tarrant County citizens, Judge O’Hare has appointed himself the sole arbiter of what concerns the citizenry can bring before the court, how they can address those concerns, and has wielded that power with abandon. It is a core tenet of the US Constitution that the people have, not only the right to unabridged free speech, but the right to seek a redress of grievances against their government. How can grievances be addressed if they can’t even be spoken aloud? Of course, we think that’s precisely the goal of a “Decorum Policy” this Draconian. We will be watching the case closely as it develops and stand with the plaintiffs as they seek justice.
