Texas state GOP votes to condemn Paxton impeachment

"WHEREAS, Texas Attorney General Warren Kenneth Paxton, Jr was impeached by the Texas House of Representatives on May 27, 2023, after a report was issued by the House Committee on General Investigating (GIC), which contained 20 articles of impeachment. The GIC submission, which consisted solely of a transcript of the GIC hearing, was considered by the House for approximately 48 hours before the impeachment vote was called and taken; and WHEREAS, no testimony was taken in the House, and Attorney General Paxton was not allowed to speak to the House or to offer any rebuttal evidence or testimony despite his offer to do so, which was refused; and WHEREAS, the impeachment occurred under illegal circumstances," says the opener to the Texas state GOP's resolution condemning Picasso-faced scumbag Attorney General Ken Paxton's impeachment.

Ah, the tried and true "This thing I don't like is illegal or unconstitutional even when neither statue law or the Constitution really apply to the situation," a MAGA classic not seen since Paxton himself sued earlier this year to have a court overturn the $1.7 trillion federal spending bill after Biden had already signed it, claiming that since much of the US House voted by proxy there wasn't a real quorum for it to have passed. Or last year when groomer Congressman John Rose calling the House January 6th Select Committee "unconstitutional." And so did Elise Stefanik and Matt Gaetz. And of course Trump himself. And a whole shit ton of others, all of whom went out their way to ignore that courts did actually entertain questions of the committee's legitimacy… and affirmed it.

There was Senate Republicans calling Trump's second impeachment trial unconstitutional because he was already out of office at the time. It was bullshit as there was plenty of precedent for impeaching ex-officials – and made all the more obvious by the fact that they used it as a fake justification to vote for his acquittal. If it was unconstitutional then they should've just sat it out and let the chips fall as they may. Before that was Trump's first impeachment for trying to torpedo Joe Biden's ultimately successful 2020 campaign, which of course he himself called unconstitutional.

This is all over the place, but point is that the parliamentary operations of American legislatures persist in almost all circumstances outside the reach of courts and, as such, almost by definition an impeachment cannot be "illegal" or "unconstitutional." The fact that the chickenshit isn't suing the Texas state House for impeaching him should tell you he knows this full well.
