It doesn’t really concern me. I am interested in the legal/political chess game played throughout the saga. So far Paxton has stayed a move ahead. It will be interesting (not concerning) to see what the legislature does and how the saga ends. In the big scheme of things however, the saga is merely a distraction and another case of lawfare used in politics. Politics is a full contact sport these days which is the reason I have chosen to stay away from direct participation — today (maybe always) it is played for blood. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

A move ahead? You mean a criminal dropping the criminal probe into him. A step ahead by being found to he r violated his ethics as the highest law enforcement officer in the state. You care about two adult males being allowed to marry. Paxton is as immoral under scripture. However, no one is trying to make his consensual life choices a felony. | |||

Why? We can start with an explanation of what politics ought to be: "Aristotle viewed politics as a natural extension of human existence, arguing that humans are "political animals" by nature, meaning they are inherently social and thrive when participating in political communities. He believed the purpose of politics is to achieve the common good, not just individual interests. He explored different forms of government, analyzed their strengths and weaknesses, and advocated for a mixed constitution that balances different interests." IOW, as an essential aspect of human nature, politics, pure, is healthy, in a healthy society. It naturally involves competition and opposition. When those who harbor a worldview of zero-sum, winners and losers, the end justifies the means, survival of the fittest or those of the right color deemed by the powers that be, and call the opposition lowlifes, vermin and enemy, it's really not difficult to see where the problem is and how it started. ======================================================== And now you say that you stay away from "direct participation". So, I see, you were just a tourist visiting your favorite playground with your recent trip to DC and declared that it was "normal" for a change.

In a recent post, a quote, the source I don't remember, to paraphrase: "The problem with irony is not everyone gets it". ============================================ Oh, in my previous post, I hurriedly forgot to mention belief in lies and justifications thereof, and action accordingly, layer by layer. ************* “Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future.” George Orwell, 1984 https://www.google.com/search?...sclient=gws-wiz-serp Degenerate 1:1 1 Then Trump said, "Let Us re-make a Nation in MY Image, after My likeness, to rule over everything in the Nation, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it".

Ironically, my quick read of your post was: “ I got it on second reading. Here's the post where I made an analogy of Trump(ism) with art:
