Well just to further the conversation, (and you know I'm sincere,) why?

I don't know anything more about the guy than is in the headlines and here on the pf, so as broadly or in detail as you like, why?

Being a Westerner I knee jerk favor any Texan for any office over some east coast schmuck.

About 20 minutes following up the links on a Google search about Paxton will tell you all you need to need to know about Paxton- especially all the links to his numerous criminal issues……If anything, he is less qualified to be USAG than Gaetz. Of course, he has 2 extremely important positive points- he is a Texan and he is a true Trump syncophant.

And all of that was BS. All of that is history. And Texans elected him during all of that BS because it was just Austin democrat BS. He has been TX AG for a long time now…since back when 0bama was President.

Oh, so the criminal investigations, charges, admissions of malfeasance, convictions, etc are all ancient issues.Austin is the tail that wags the dog? Interesting…..

In 100% honesty, Im flummoxed as to your absolute HATE for anything not on the crazy leftist side.

If you cannot see the DOJ's witch hunt for what it is, I, Lane or nobody else will ever convince you of it.

Your TDS on here doesn't seem to match the easy-going and well spoken guy I know you really are.

The lawsuit was so so merit that Paxton was sanctioned by the Bar, had to apologize, and the Court accepted a 6 million dollar settlement signed off by the AG’s Office.

The legislature’s action will not stop a motion to enforce settlement, not erase the malfeasance.

You guys are not serious people.

RolandtheHeadless

If Texas works like Alaska, the judgment or settlement will never be paid until the legislature funds it.

26 November 2024, 00:33

LHeym500

Let us assume that he Courts will not use their power to enforce. Or let us assume they try and eventually a Fed appellate courts rules that an order directing and eventual show cause/contempt is deemed a violation of Separation of Powers. I have seen executive branch dnd legislative branch officials show caused for less.

None of they erases Paxton’s malfeasance in this matter.

None is the Far Right can get around that:

A( Paxton had to apologize for trying his power to inappropriately punish civil servants who were targeted inappropriately by the State of Texas’ Chief Law Enforcement Officer. Those folks only engaged in legal means to hold the powerful accountable.

B) Paxton was required that he apologize for his behavior as AG.

C) Paxton’s behavior merited ethics retraining.

And

D) Paxton’s behavior resulted in a settlement of 3.5 million dollars.

Those facts cannot be erased.

If a Dem AG had these issues of fitness, the far righties here would be screaming at the suggestion.

The defining characteristic is the action, the behavior. It is not the letter.

No malfeasance was committed…only a defense which prevailed.

A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender. I wish everyone the world over had the dominating spirit that motivates Texans.– Billy Clayton, Speaker of the Texas House

LHeym500

Yep, no malfeasance here:

That is why he had to go to re-ethics training, apologize, and agreed his office caused harm to the tune of 3.5 mill due to his direct action.

Do you think he paid attention in the ethics training?

26 November 2024, 15:16

ledvm

Ethics are not something one can teach to an above 25 year old person. That training was more BS and a waste of money. Did he pay attention? I doubt it. It is embarrassment punishment anyway assigned by a liberal judge.

Besides that…who the hell these days are qualified to teach ethics? You? Joshua?

Lawyers have to pass and test before the Bar Professional Responsibility. If you do not receive a qualifying score you cannot set for the Bar.

These codification of professional ethics must be followed by the attorney. Violation leads to sanction by the State Supreme Court through the bar.

Re-training on ethics is a sanction for violating these codes. Paxton had to undergo this training as a sanction for violating is professional, codified ethics.

Prosecutors have an entire separate, additional code of conduct.

He engaged in malfeasance of these codifications. His penance, in part, was retraining in ethics.

Ted, Dr. Easter he violated his professional codified rules of conduct. Part of his sanction was re-training ethics.

It probably was a ways of time, but he violated his codified professional responsibility to his profession, the state, and those he wronged. The penalty, in sort, was to retake ethical training.

Assuming, you are correct and Paxton learned nothing, that is all the more reason he should not be an AG anywhere. You are admitting, assuming he learned nothing, he is an unrepentant, violator of his codified professional ethics. Such a person is not worthy.

I have never been sanctioned for my professional role as a prosecutor. Paxton has.

Yes, I am qualified to speak to an attorney and a prosecutor (AG has to uphold by two codifications) ethical, professional obligations.

You are not. The only embarrassment is you, Paxton, and Texas.

It was a correct and light punishment for his malfeasance. He should have been suspended from the practice of law and impeached.

He wasn’t. He wins. The whole charade was BS and over. Done deal. The legislative branch will never approve the payment as long as it stays Republican — which will be the foreseeable future.

Your version of contempt of law is humorous at best. You WOKE SOROS Dems rewrote the contempt of law starting in 2016 when your woke Dems weaponized the justice department, with Obama and Hillary and continued on until Americans said enough a couple weeks ago. You just are not bright enough to comprehend these facts but you continue to show your ignorance.

My contempt has nothing to do with “the rule of law”…that is what has been our success.

My contempt is for the weaponization of law against political opponents which was exactly the case for Ken Paxton.

This weaponization will be our downfall if not nipped in the bud.

Don't worry, even if you provide links to articles 'roland' won't read them. On a recent post I made about harris prosecuting a woman for a 'truant' child (child has sickle cell anemia and is constantly hospitalized and disabled), he called the child just a behavior problem. Pretty sad. He is not the paragon of virtue he thinks he is. He's mean as well.

Agreed, but I’m not sure how using the DOJ against political types in revenge is nipping this in the bud?

The people nipped it by electing the opposition. Now are the new people smart enough to heed the lesson? From some of the comments here, I’m thinking it’s a big “no”.

I have never said anything about using it in reverse. I just know if Paxton were the AG…he would be tough enough to never crater like Sessions and the country never have any shenanigans like the Mueller investigation — which was total BS.

sure, sure, let him cook, lane -- Muller did find that the steele dossier was funded by killary/DNC AND had MANY FISA violations -- the problem with it being necessary and correct is that the criminals weren't pursued ! (ya'll should recall, i am a little bit aware of cybersecurity, tools, techniques, processes, and persons ... like Joshua knows a bit about kentucky law and lane might know how to treat a horse)

now, do the Hur report, which found biden culpable ..

oh, and release the unedited (as we have been made aware, the lefties WILL edit transcripts) Hur-Biden interview video

hey, didn't comer also find killary culpable for having an ILLEGAL private server, holding government SECRETS, which she destroyed both her server (bleachbits) and her physical mobile devices, but didn't even get a spoilation charge?

You want to hear supported by fact?

I have posted select findings from the Muller Report that directly contradicted Dr. Easter’s assertions concerning Russia and the election.

The Muller report was supported by convictions. A few were interrupted by executive action.

Miller deserves respect and gratitude.

Paxton is not even a shadow compared to him.

Dr. Easter has revealed he sees theAT as the president’s fixer so long as it is a GOO (on purpose) fixer. That is not nor should be the role of the AG.

Assuming, Dr. Easter’s assertion is correct that Paxton would not have appointed a Special Counselor to investigate the allegations concerning the election, that alone is more than enough to show Paxton unfit for AG.

Cry and cuss some more big guy.
