Kasich Lindsey Graham Mike Huckabee Marco Rubio Elizabeth Gray Rick Santorum Donald J. Trump Uncommitted Chris Christie Jeb Bush Railroad Commissioner President: Let’s bring Texas-style constitutional conservatism to the rest of the Union. Doug Jeffrey Lance N. Christian Railroad Commissioner: In the Texas House, Wayne Christian had one of the most Wayne Christian conservative voting records. Having served as vice-chair of the House committee Gary Gates which oversees the Railroad Commission, he is the most qualified candidate in this race. All other candidates have never held elected office. His main challenger, Gary John Greytok Gates, is a wealthy perennial candidate with no relevant experience. Weston Martinez Ron Hale Justice, Supreme Court, Place 3: Michael Massengale is a constitutionalist in the mold of his friend, Ted Cruz, with more appellate experience than incumbent Debra Justice, Supreme Court, Place 3 Lehrmann, who regularly votes against the conservative opinions of the Court. Michael Massengale Debra Lehrmann Justice, Supreme Court, Place 5: Paul Green is a respected, proven, conservative jurist with 21 years of appellate experience. Rick Green is a great conservative Justice, Supreme Court, Place 5 activist, with no judicial experience. The Supreme Court needs experienced appel- late judges capable of thoughtfully resolving the large amount of cases the Court Paul Green addresses.

We also greatly appreciate the leadership and flexibility that the Supreme Court of Texas and the BLE have shown to date in undertaking significant and unprecedented measures during this crisis, all towards the goal of ensuring that a bar exam can go forward and that applicants have a safe and successful experience: modifying the supervised practice rules, offering a second Texas Bar Exam in September, increasing flexibility for bar takers to switch their exam without additional expense, implementing various Covid-19 health and safety protocols, and reducing the bar exam from three days to two. In recent days, however, the arc of the coronavirus has changed, and these measures no longer seem sufficient.

FOREWORD A young Abraham Lincoln, commenting on the recent passing of the last surviving Founding Father, James Madison, urged his audience to “let reverence for the laws … become the political reason of the Nation.” He observed that all should agree that to vio- late the law “is to trample on the blood of his father,” and that only “reverence for the constitution and laws” will preserve our political institutions and “retain the attachment of the people.”1 Lincoln knew that the law is the bedrock of a free society.
