I watched the proceedings. Dutton WAS the sane voice. This process was done in secret and the House was given 72 hours notice for the vote today. First time this kind of process has ever been done for an impeachment in Texas. No public hearings, no sworn witness statements, no cross examination, no chance for Paxton's lawyers to rebut. Pure political retribution. Shameful.
Wasn’t the supposed “R” Speaker, Phelan, drunk on the job the other day??
Every single search engine features damning articles from the same sources: Axios, CNBC, CNN, Politico, AP, you name it. All of them went at least five pages deep. We even had one entity on this website putting forth Wikipedia as a “source” for the crimes committed by Ken Paxon.
I don’t know Texas politics. But I hold onto Texas and Florida as two places where, if this country is saved, the effort may emanate from them.
And I don’t know Ken Paxton.
I am not so naive as to think Republicans don’t engage in subterfuge and featherbedding using the power of their office although in general, they don’t jump into bed with enemies of this Republic as readily and frequently as Democrats do. So I try to keep as much of an open mind as I can, although the frequency and virulence of Leftists in power (in league with weak or compromised RINOs) makes it nearly impossible to be impartial.
I am hoping someone with an understanding of Texas politics might explain this in terms the rest of us can relate to.
