His wife can’t vote, so that makes it 9 I think. 16 to 14 again for article 2.

Thx

TV is saying a simple majority isn’t enough, two thirds or 21 votes would be needed for conviction, so these 14-16 votes aren’t as close as they look.

So it would appear to me that these 16 are going to make sure that this goes the right way....time will tell.

That’s crazy. Where does her district go for representation, on this?

Their named by vote and vocally confirm their vote.

They decided to keep the threshold at ten because she can’t vote so effectively her vote is always not to convict.

Article 6 is the big risk, it’s retaliation against whistleblowers

The fact that the Dems and Rinos like Phelan want a conservative AG gone is enough to make me want Paxton to stay in office.
