“State law compels all senators to attend, but is silent on whether (Angela Paxton) must participate.”

So Angela Paxton isn’t a Texas senator?
Horse puckey.
She won’t recuse herself and she will vote to acquit.
"...Democrats want power. Republicans want money. This creates the two wings of the Uniparty apparatus. Donors to democrats do so in order to support an ideological agenda based around social control; you are a prole. Donors to republicans do so in order to support financial control; you are a serf. This is the main distinction between the two corporations that align with mutually beneficial non-compete clauses..." --The Last Refuge
Yep!
Texas needs to change like FL or we are all doomed.
Yes, the senate has bushies. But the trial should prove innocence so who know if Paxton will be found guilty or not.
Paxton is not perfect, but he’s but he was railroaded in the House. The was NO testimony in the House that was under oath, and none of the proceedings were in a public setting.

“Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton, the wife of Attorney General Ken Paxton, will not be allowed to cast a vote in the impeachment trial that could lead to her husband’s permanent removal from office, the senate decided Wednesday under rules for the historic proceedings.
The decision settles a question that has loomed over the Texas Capitol since Ken Paxton last month became just the third sitting official to be impeached in Texas’ nearly 200-year history.”
That makes sense. No matter which way she voted it would be a conflict of interest.
Perhaps the majority of Republican senators got the word that she would vote against her husband. So they are stopping her from voting.
I think it makes sense as well. It removes all allegations of conflict due to her being a Senator and the AG’s spouse.
He is in NO WAY a RINO. Period.
The Bushies hate him, the Dems Hate Him.
For those who have chosen to view the entire proceeding, there are a lot of smoke filled room currents running under this. It is NOT as seen on TV.
Yes. Not perfect (who is?) but certainly on the right side and he has done a good job as AG.
I agree.
