A Brief Update

Earlier today I wrote about Kate Cox and her struggle to obtain an abortion despite the fact that the fetus she carries is not viable and her very life is in danger.  I wrote that late last night, and when I woke this morning, it was to this headline in the New York Times … Texas Supreme Court Temporarily Halts Court-Approved Abortion   The court, responding to an appeal from Attorney General Ken…

Pack Him Up And Put Him In Storage!

I keep trying to remind people that Donald Trump is a private citizen, no different than you or me.  He is NOT president, does NOT have any role in government … his voice should be no louder than mine or yours.  And yet … the Texas Supreme Court has bowed down and paid fealty to Donald Trump, placing his desires ahead of the best interest of the people of Texas. The case against Texas Attorney…

There’s no shortage of truly awful Trump Republican office holders in Texas. But the absolute worst is Attorney General Ken Paxton; yes – he’s even worse than Ted “Cancún” Cruz and Greg Abbott.

An Associated Press investigation found Paxton and his deputies have sought to turn cases to political advantage or push a broader political agenda, including staff screenings of a debunked film questioning the 2020 election. Adding to the unrest was the secretive firing of a Paxton supporter less than two months into his job as an agency advisor after he tried to make a point by displaying child pornography in a meeting.

That’s just the hors d'oeuvre.

For years, Paxton has weathered a storm of troubles like few other elected officials in the U.S., including felony securities fraud charges and a federal investigation into accusations of corruption . He has broadly denied wrongdoing and remained popular with GOP voters, even while losing staff.

One prosecutor said he quit in January after supervisors pressured him to withhold evidence in a murder case. Another attorney signed a resignation letter in March that warned of growing hostility toward LGBTQ employees. By August, records show the division over human trafficking cases — a major emphasis in Texas, where more than 50 migrants died in the back of a trailer in June — had a job vacancy rate of 40%.

Things like incompetence, corruption, and poor office administration are not an issue for Trump Republican voters. If anything, those deficiencies only remind the party faithful of the Dear Leader himself.

In America’s largest red state, the accusations have not given GOP voters pause about Paxton, who carried Donald Trump’s endorsement into again winning his party’s nomination. Paxton faces Democratic challenger Rochelle Garza, a first-time candidate and former ACLU attorney, in the November election.

“He’s been one of the greatest attorneys general for the state of Texas and one of the most conservative ones in the entire country,” said Abraham George, chairman of the Collin County Republican Party, adding that Paxton deserves the same presumption of innocence as any other American.

Ken ought to challenge Josh Hawley to a footrace.

AG race: most troublesome

AG race: most troublesome

Of all the contests up for grabs on the Texas ballot in this midterm election cycle, one of them stands out as presenting the greatest opportunity for joy … and also for profound disappointment. It’s not the governor’s race. It’s the next one down on the ballot, the contest for Texas attorney general. I keep hearing chatter that it might be the closest statewide race on the ballot, the one…

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was acquitted at his impeachment trial today by 16 Republican Texas Senators. These 16 Senators banded together to form a partisan voting block on every count to prevent his conviction. The most corrupt Attorney General in America now continues in power knowing that he is completely above the law in Texas. The witnesses against him were some of his closest friends, associates, employees and appointees. They were all Republicans. The vote in the Texas House to impeach was overwhelming. But Paxton has shown that he is willing to nakedly abuse his power and do favors for his friends and political allies, and that is something 16 Texas Senators value highly in their AG.
