Over the past quarter century, a war machine was constructed inside the Texas Office of Attorney General, designed to push conservative legal doctrine through the courts. The progeny of that movement now fill the federal bench in Texas, and the future of the rule of law is in their hands. This series examines how Texas got here — and what it means for the country's future.
