Is this the truth? what do you know about Former state Rep. Rick Green who is running for the Texas Supreme Court?

This was in the Caller Times online:

GOP elite oppose ex-legislator in Texas court race

AUSTIN — Former state Rep. Rick Green once slugged a political rival outside a polling place at a Baptist church.

While in office, he hawked a nutritional supplement that promised to “supercharge your brain.” And as an attorney, he’s spent more time speaking to church groups and Tea Party rallies than arguing cases in court.

But Green has a shot at a seat on the Texas Supreme Court after getting the most votes — 18.9 percent — among six candidates in the March 2 primary. He faces longtime family law judge Debra Lehrmann in the April 13 runoff for the Republican nomination.

Green’s campaign has been unusual. Instead of touting lofty legal credentials, he’s running as a hard-core conservative everyman who promises to bring what he considers a badly needed dose of normalcy to the court.

Read it all then leave a comment if you know more about it than what is given in the article.  It looks to me like he is a doubtful candidate for a judge, but the article is also slanted that way to give that impression.  If what they say is true, even with extenuating circumstances I do not believe I could vote for him. At our meeting one of our trusted members recommended a vote for longtime family law judge Debra Lehrmann.
