A fiscal liberal/social conservative is a liberal.....a fiscal conservative/social liberal is a liberal...... Many members of the Texas House are fiscal conservatives but their social liberalism makes them liberal.....they may as well be dimnuts....... something @KirtFalcon just can't seem to grasp, either....... Besides, right now there's 1 vacant seat. which means 149 members. So all that's really needed is 75 members. So all it really would take is 74 of the 85 Republicans, and 1 Democrat for the impeachment to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't get enough votes to impeach......and he can bring suit that it violates the Texas Constitution.....that clearly states no one can be impeached for anything that happened prior to their election.....that's a paraphrase.....the exact quote is on a tweet I posted either earlier on this thread, or on another thread.......

BarryLaverty Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Nice job of you, @RETIREDFAN1 carrying water for an indicted AG who owes 3 MILLION dollars to whistleblowers on his malfeasance and wants you the taxpayer to pay for it.

Except that this: https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/88R/billtext/html/HR02377I.htm shows all of the articles starting with "While holding office as attorney general..." Quote ARTICLE I (Disregard of Official Duty- Protection of Charitable Organization) While holding office as attorney general, Warren Kenneth Paxton violated the duties of his office by failing to act as public protector of charitable organizations as required by Chapter 123, Property Code. Specifically, Paxton caused employees of his office to intervene in a lawsuit brought by the Roy F. & JoAnn Cole Mitte Foundation against several corporate entities controlled by Nate Paul. Paxton harmed the Mitte Foundation in an effort to benefit Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen over and over 'video evidence' which turns out to be deep fakes and selective editing. Was he given a breathalyzer? Did he get arrested for public intoxication?
