Was anyone betting on Texas Republicans to remove one of their own? Reagan’s Eleventh Commandment was to not cross their own.
No, but honestly I wasn’t expecting them to vote to impeach one of their own in the first place.
How did that happen?
Did a little digging to confirm, there are only 12 Democratic Texas State Senators. So, while article title is correct, it is misleading. Should read “Paxton Impeachment Vote mostly follows party lines”. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/09/16/ken-paxton-impeachment-vote/
And no one should be surprised. The Republican party was never known for its honesty or integrity.
Texas Republicans: He may be a corrupt son of a bh, but he’s our corrupt son of a bh!
You can’t convince someone of anything if they’ve already made up their mind.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Paxton was accused of misusing the powers of the attorney general’s office to help his friend and donor Nate Paul, an Austin real estate investor who was under federal investigation.
The House impeachment managers insisted that they proved their claims of bribery and corruption, arguing that the jury of 30 senators had no choice but to convict.
Paxton was present Friday morning for closing arguments, the first time he attended the trial since it opened Sept. 5, when his lawyer pleaded not guilty on his behalf.
Senators are returning to the Capitol on Saturday morning to resume deliberations in the impeachment trial of suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Once a verdict is reached, Patrick said they will give a 30-minute notice before starting a vote on the Senate floor on whether to convict or acquit on 16 articles of impeachment.
Senators left the Capitol late Saturday after more than six hours of deliberating in the impeachment trial of suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton without reaching a final verdict.
The original article contains 457 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 63%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
