care to point that LAW out to me?


I believe the governor in his press release cited to the constitution and the attorney general opinion on the authority to replace for abandonment.

Did you not read the press release ?

Why not file minor ethics violations with a summons to appear tomorrow?

When they don't appear issue a summary judgement on the ethics violations and remove them from office.

You should be sad. Because you are an elitist (perceived) condescending person with a lack of common sense.

Or I'm joking

Could be a troll

or

an Elitist plot

But not dishonest or innacurate
I can be telling the truth and have an accurate take and still be obnoxious about it

I was right about the election
predicted early, not just once but for MONTHS
the panic about a steal
panic about polls
even got in to before it was reported how Musk had an African American door to door campaign in swing States and elsewhere and early #'s indication to trend with younger AA's Hispanics
b-4 any of it was reported
Then panic about the inauguration

RELAX

How can someone be elitist while drooling out of the side of his mouth and living in a shitty apartment with a cross-eyed cat and thinning hair?

I'm doing my best to ignore this. It will be settled at some point. And I just don't want the drama and TV breathless, play by play analysis that will ensure for days or weeks or months.

Jasmine Crockett saw it coming. She called Abbott to the mat immediately and said he was ALL noise.

Ken Paxton asks Texas Supreme Court to expel 13 House Democrats over redistricting standoff

Attorney General Ken Paxton on Friday asked the Texas Supreme Court to expel 13 Democrats from the state House, the latest in a flurry of unprecedented actions aiming to resume business at the Capitol and pass new congressional maps to benefit Republicans.

Gov. Greg Abbott previously asked the court to expel Houston Rep. Gene Wu, the chair of the Texas House Democrats.

Wu is also named in Paxton’s petition, alongside Reps. John Bucy, Lulu Flores, Vikki Goodwin, Gina Hinojosa and James Talarico of Austin, Jessica González and Mihaela Plesa of Dallas, Suleman Lalani of Sugar Land, Christina Morales of Houston, Ron Reynolds of Missouri City, Ana-María Rodríguez Ramos of Richardson and Chris Turner of Grand Prairie.

Paxton argued that these representatives effectively abandoned their offices by leaving the state Sunday to stop the House from passing a new congressional map that would redraw district lines with the aim of netting five seats for Republicans. He said these 13, among the dozens who have left the state, “made incriminating public statements regarding their refusal to return, essentially confirming in their own words the very grounds for this legal action.”

On Friday, Paxton also announced he was suing former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke and his fundraising group, Powered by People, for providing financial support to the Democrats while they are out of state. The lawsuit, filed in a Tarrant County district court, said the group was “intentionally blurring the dichotomy between political and personal funds in a deceptive and confusing manner to take advantage of donors.” Paxton previously said he was investigating O’Rourke for allegations of bribery related to the quorum break. A Tarrant County judge granted Paxton’s motion, prohibiting O’Rourke from financially supporting the Democrats who left Texas.

I don’t know if this will be successful but the Texas Supreme Court has a strong record of backing Abbott.
