Paxton’s been changing venues to draw out going to trial.
Not that I remember. But I don't follow that stuff.
Maybe getting rid of RINO Drunken Dud Phelan first would be a good idea, then we won't have democrats running committees, eh? Notice the impeachment only came up after Paxton (the day before) said: “After much consideration, it is with profound disappointment that I call on Speaker Dade Phelan to resign at the end of this legislative session. Texans were dismayed to witness his performance presiding over the Texas House in a state of apparent debilitating intoxication.”Paxton said that House Speaker Dade Phelan needs to resign after being in a state of “apparent debilitating intoxication” while presiding over the House. What a coincidence, eh? There's no one slimier than Dud Phelan, the "republican" that spends most of his campaign time speaking at DEMOCRAT fund raiser events.
Later today the Texas House of Representatives is expected to take up Articles of Impeachment against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. As a former State Representative and now as County Judge, I have serious concerns about this attempt to undermine the will of the citizens of this great state. This is nothing more than an attempt to thwart the duly elected Attorney General who has seen success after success in federal court against the overreaching federal government under Presidents Obama and Biden
General Paxton is a true friend who has helped me tremendously throughout my tenure as a public servant. While in the House, I could count on Ken to answer any call regarding pending legislation that I may have had questions on. More recently as County Judge, Ken advised me on the legalities of all the crazy COVID restrictions undertaken in Texas and was instrumental in my decisions to keep Montgomery County open by providing me the legal foundation to help me make the best decisions, because of which we are stronger than ever for it!
But despite our friendship, my resolve to take a stand today is due to the lack of legal grounds the legislature has on the proceedings it is about to undertake. Only a few legislators at this point have been allowed to be involved in the ethics committee’s process and despite Texas Government Code allowing the full house to compel testimony, only hired guns who once served in the bowels of the Harris County Justice System were allowed to investigate and ask the questions leading to articles of impeachment.
Texas law is pretty clear on the surface of a layman’s reading. No officer of this state may be impeached from office for an act the officer may have committed before the officer's election to office. Attorney General Ken Paxton was overwhelmingly elected to the office of Attorney General in November of 2022 and was sworn in earlier this year. In Montgomery County alone, he received over 73% of the vote. The Articles of Impeachment drafted by the General Ethics Committee in the Texas House conveniently withhold the alleged dates to which the alleged offenses occurred.
So as a former member of the Texas House, I do not believe the full House membership has had the ability to review evidence, witness statements, or anything to substantiate these Articles of Impeachment. I am a staunch proponent of due process and it’s very clearly lacking in this case. For these reasons I would boldly vote NO on the question of Impeachment and get back to work passing a balance budget, property tax reforms and so many other conservative pieces of legislation about to die by the clock.The DC swamp is proudly supporting the efforts to impeach and that is all we really need to know about what will take place later today. I pray the Texas House quickly resolves this mistake, overwhelming rejects this farce and votes NO, respecting the will of the voters and quickly getting back to the real business before it. The clock is ticking and Texans deserve the victories in Austin we elected our members to achieve and this is NOT one of them.
