The Amendment Opinion On Prohibition For Texas
An Austin report says Attorney General Looney warns Governor Hobby that the prohibition amendment need not be submitted to the federal constitution at the upcoming special session. He argues the amendment is not legislation and thus beyond the governor’s vote power in ratification by the Texas legislature. The piece contends the legislature should not act without the people’s voice, noting Texans have not supported statewide prohibition in general elections and questioning nationwide prohibition support.
