What's with the cat?
In February 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Presidio County (Texas) Attorney Ron Ponton accidentally showed up for Zoom court with a cat filter that he couldn't remove. While struggling with his computer, he promised the judge: "I'm here live. I'm not a cat." Everyone was professional and showed a great sense of humor. Our cover art is a photo of your host arguing (in person) before the Texas Supreme Court with a cat filter. You can watch Ponton's hearing below or by clicking here.
