I am concerned that after Ken Morrison soundly defeated Phil Fitzgerald in the Democratic primary that rumors are flying around that he and some of Phil’s little political operation had planned all along to win by having Morrison lose a residency lawsuit in district court.
I had heard this rumor before the primary more than once, but when I saw how different and anemic and pathetic Phil’s campaign was compared to his efforts in the past, I began to believe it.
Now I have heard the name C.T. “Rusty? Hight connected to this rumor. Now I am worried. All a person can hope for is fairness and being treated the same way anyone else would be, but now I have heard that Kenny could have to appear before District Judge Rusty Hight if there is a question about his residency. Now how fair would that be? With rumors about Hight and Fitzgerald being part of the same political operation, or at a minimum being members of the same Democratic Party for decades, my first reaction was that Hight would have to excuse himself and a visiting Judge would have to handle the case. But it has been brought to my attention that he did not step out of a case involving one of the people that writes for Liberty Dispatch despite evidence that any normal human being would be prejudice in the case. If Hight will not acknowledge his judgment could be influenced because his Father-in Law hates a defendant appearing before him and if Hight wants the public to believe he could be fair in sitting in judgment over someone who has publicly and aggressively opposed him and his politics, then it seems to me he would have no trouble in sitting in judgment over a case from which his political group need a certain outcome.
I hope these rumors are all nonsense, but even though I know you are a Republican I can tell you Kenny Morrison is a very smart, very likeable, very capable person that does not have the baggage that every other candidate will have to carry through the election season. He will be good for the county.
I am appealing to you to post this and to help make sure this race is fair and square even if it involves helping a Democrat.
Sincerely,
A Citizen with a Common Cause - Just Courts

Yeah, Hight is a google eyed fool and crook just like Fitzgerald.
Hight is a google eyed fool. Corrupt fool
I'm a local attorney who has witnessed Hight's retaliation, bias and corruption. I do not like it and think he needs to go.
Hight is one of the Good Ole Boys in Liberty County. He has been brought up through the ranks by his relatives, that have rule Liberty County all these years. It is definetly time for him to retire, along with the rest of the Liberty County Mafia.
Hight is a pal to his friends. He is anice enough guy to the general public. But he is a cigar chomping back room wheeler dealer behind close doors. He is a you scratch my back I will scratch your back kind of guy. In Latin his nick name may would be Quid Pro Quo. In English if people knew some of the things he does the voters in this community would give him another title. Former District Judge. I have sat in his court quietly knowing what he was hiding and his connections to a defendant. I will not sit quietly when he starts his mudslinging against his opponent. I don't know much about his opponent, but he better have slicker suit because Hight will get other people to twist and turn and taer into his private life. It will be on the internet. It will be heard on the aisles of every grocery store. And Hight will be in the paper and on the radio expressing a desire fr a clean election. Bad move Judge. Your sins are related to the way you do business as a lawyer and as a judge. If you are indeed set to pull this Morrison deal then the veil will be off. you might want to back up and let this one go. We don't want Fitzgerald. We voted and we told the world we don't want Fitzgerald. I know you think you can tie FEMA around Steve Stephens neck and even up the race between Fitzgerald and Stephens, b ut your buddy will not be running. You will have to fire up your stink bomb on Steve. People in Dayton are starting to figure out who is pulling the strings around here on this manure.
Is Hight justice for rent or is it all about building a power base and trying to become like the man that raised him.... Zeke Zbranek, "the Father of the Democrtaic Party of Texas" according to one of the statewide candidates that came through here campaigning?
If you are a local attorney that has felt some of Rusty Hight's vindictiveness then you must know the way to get back in his good graces. You know of what I speak. Don't do it. Keep your inegrity. Honor your oath.
Yeah, you know how to get in his graces, get out your checkbook and write a check to the CT Hight Trust.
I saw Hight the other day walking though the courthouse with a cigar in his mouth, reminded me of a picture of Bill Clinton back in the day.
I have seen a number of general comments about Rusty Hight but general comments are mere opinions. I am surprised no one has touched on his history of using a major double standard from the moment he took the bench. Whenever the mother is getting custody of the child Hight follows the statutory schedule for setting child support. However, whenever the father is getting custody Hight flat out refuses to order the mother to pay any child support unless she makes at least $30,000 a year. Why? Because he refuses to punish the mother for not paying child support unless she makes at least $30,000. Any lawyer who has practiced family law in that court has had to experience this.
Let's show Hight the door that leads out of the Courthouse, at the November Elections. "Git-er-done"
