Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock emphasized the importance of political neutrality from the State Bar of Texas during his address on February 26. He warned that the Supreme Court would not accept any bias, hinting at specific issues without providing clear examples. The Bar has faced scrutiny over its disciplinary actions against high-profile figures, raising questions about its perceived political stance. Bar president Steve Benesh affirmed the commitment to neutrality, leaving it uncertain if his response signals compliance or resistance against the Chief Justice's warning.
"Blacklock warned the State Bar to 'remain completely politically neutral' at his first state of the judiciary address on Feb. 26. 'The Supreme Court will accept nothing less from the State Bar, and we expect the Bar to live up to that high standard.'"},{
