“Any ideas on how the Texas senate will vote?”
The Republicans in the Texas Senate, including his wife, Sen. Angela Paxton, will all stand behind Ken Paxton.
The Senate has a 19- 12 GOP majority. A 2/3 vote is required to convict (i. e. 21 votes). Paxton will be able to mount a defense. Paxton is an enigma for conservatives. He consistently takes bold conservative positions, while at the same time he is personally corrupt . We’ll see how much stench the Senate Republicans can stomach.
I sure hope so, but it bugs me that he’s now suspended until the trial takes place. What the devil is going on down there in Texas with the GOP that let this get to this point?
