Phillip Jauregui, a tremendous Christian and heroic attorney, offered the following statment in his capacity as lead attorney for Chief Justice Moore:

Rather than rule on our motion to disqualify Justice Houston, the court let him lead the charge in selecting new justices to hear the appeal. His involvement affected the process. The process produced at least two additional justices where questions of impartiality will likely require their recusal or disqualification from this appointed court. One of them was removed as a paid, retired member of the court by Chief Justice Moore and the other was on the Judicial Inquiry Commission during their famous witch hunt of the Chief Justice where the Chief Justice in turn had to sue the JIC for illegally investigating him. Clearly, Justice Houston should not have been involved.
