Texas AG Ken Paxton's impeachment vote tallies
Comment:
I didn't follow it at all. After getting this news, I dug around a little. There were only two Senators on the GOP side that voted to convict. All the Democrats did on most of the charges.
This was an ill advised effort that could only result in a political circus. It should not have been brought. If there was any evidence, it should have been presented during the election. There doesn't appear to be anything new since then. Paxton was elected by a large margin. Again, there was nothing new here.
I'd prefer public officials to be above reproach. But this was done in such a way that the truth could not be served. It looks political and probably was. Since it was, it should have been relegated to the ballot. If they couldn't win there, they should have admitted defeat and moved on.
It is unfortunate that the GOP decided to resort to lawfare on one of their own. There's way too much of that from the Democrat side. Paxton is pro-Trump, and it was probably the never-Trump faction who wanted the charges brought. It was political in nature.
