How will it go in the senate? In this timeline? Presume the worst.

Quite a few MAGA types voted to impeach, so I wouldn't write it off just yet.

Paxton calling up legislators and threatening their political futures also did him no favors - you know he wasn't calling Democrats.

And now that this is front-page news on all of the major news sites and not just the political junky sites, a whole lot more people are going to discover that it's not just his eyes that are crooked.  Given how lopsided that vote was, my guess is that Patrick will call up all of the witnesses mentioned in the report, let them do their thing, get a vote going and basically try to make it overwhelmingly against Paxton. There is no political capital in backing Paxton at this point.

    Here's a hint - if you vote for someone, you support them.  Whether it's Paxton, Abbott, Trump, Cruz, your vote says you support their actions.

Looks like ever Collin County Rep voted aye. Denton County one was P and the rest aye. Even Jarrod Patterson voted aye.

I was going through the list to look up those who voted against and came to a speedbump on C.E. Harris and C.J. Harris, both Republicans. There's a Caroline and a Cody. The former represents eastern Round Rock, Hutto, and Taylor while Cody is from Palestine.

Does anyone know which of the two voted against impeachment? tia

Internet has him as Cody Joe Harris of Palestine, so he'd be the Aye, it appears.  Would also make sense that Cody would be listed alphabetically after Caroline.  She seems to be the No.

I’ll take a stab in the dark and guess the one from Palestine.

That would've been my assumption too, but she (Caroline of Wilco) was retweeting Angela Paxton earlier this week, congratulating her on passing the library censorship bill.

And even if convicted and removed from office, he’ll just run again. And win. Handily. Because the criminality is part of the point. By electing a contemptible criminal, the GQP base (which is now ALL GQP voters) tells the minority (in texas, that’s all non-GQP voters) “fuck you, you can’t do anything about it.” It’s about a raw display of power and its partner, complete contempt for anyone not in the in-power group.

Oh c'mon now, you can't expect @DalTxHornFan to vote for someone from the ACLU over a sleazebag felon! What if the ACLU person does a WOKE on his children and makes them gay??? He NEEDS Paxton's rapier wit and immaculate ethics. 

Gotta admit, I thought Briscoe would be a no, but appears he can see which way the wind is blowing.

Hard to believe the Texas legislature has more of a conscience than that bunch of crooks in D.C.

Reality is a whole lot closer to this than it is to atomheart’s post.

Y’all still don’t get how truly depraved and awful the GQP is. I get it. Nobody wants to believe that about people who live right down the street.

When you realize they are today’s version of rhe same people who posed smiling next to a hanging lynched black person, you’ll have an inkling of how bad they are.

Well yeah, Paxton was gonna drag his teammates into his mess and they're cutting him the fuck out before he can make things worse. 

Maybe after all this, Paxton will face some sort of comeuppance for his still pending 2015 indictments

If the Rs have fought agains their instincts and impeached Paxton, they’ll see the job all the way through just to prove they’re all about impartial justice. He’s going to jail. Because it furthers their cause/image and gives them political cover.

He threatened multiple legislators in the House over the phone over the last few days. He fucked himself, because those were most definitely Republicans he was trying to keep in line to back him.

That was kind of the chef's kiss.

I don’t think they were driven by conscience. They just hate Ken Paxton.

Caroline. Meanwhile the entire Colin county delegation voted for impeachment, because they know the piece of shit better than anybody.

Or he'll run for AG again in the next election and again win handily because the majority of the voters in this state don't give a shit whether the AG is dirty or not.

Wasn’t their argument that Paxton was elected by the people so wait until the next election and let the people decide? They don’t seem interested in the same for phelan and he didn’t even break the law!

Countdown until Paxton claims the vote was rigged?  I mean, I hear a lot of them were wanting to say "I vote no to this terrible travesty of hearsay, and hearsay on hearsay, and dare I say, hearsay on hearsay on hearsay," but were cut off after their first syllable and counted as "Aye" votes.  WITCH HUNT!

Quote

“The ugly spectacle in the Texas House today confirmed the outrageous impeachment plot against me was never meant to be fair or just,” Paxton said. “It was a politically motivated sham from the beginning,”

I’m getting those same texts.  Clearly my choice to vote in the GOP primary so I could have the satisfaction of voting against Cruz twice came back to bite me.

He’s not gone, nor is he getting impeached. It’s just a hearing or something to decide if he should face a vote for impeachment. Which will never happen.

Do happen to live in or around Harris County or Montgomery County? Because a bunch of reps from that general area voted "nay" on impeachment.

Well damn. If I had known that he called it 4 hours ago I could have rested on the knowledge of his record.

 

If he is impeached etc, will there be another election for his replacement of wheels gets to pick one for remainder on the term?

JFC. I need another descriptor for politicians like Paxton, Trump et al. The absolute lying nonsense to keep power while breaking laws and inflicting damage on the state and country is infuriating to a point where ‘vile asshole’ doesn’t really cover it.
