It’s interesting Lane that you make pronouncements about Hunter Biden, yet to find this man drunk, since he is a Republican, you demand absolute proof, whatever absolute proof is. I assume by absolute proof you are really talking about objective proof, ie the intoxilizer. First, when I used to defend DUII’s, if a bad blow was the issue, in jury selection, I would always ask, “If you had a $100,000 in cash would you deposit the money in a bank atm.” I am yet to have a person answer in the affirmative. Machines aren’t infallible, but more to the point as Mjines. Mitchell have tried to tell you, one has look at the totality of the evidence. This drunkenness allegation is a big deal, at least politically. Don’t suspend your common sense (you consider yourself as we have been told by you many times, to be a pragmatic thinker). I submit, his failure to provide a contrary explanation in the face of this allegation of drunkedness, although circumstantial is as strong as evidence, coupled with his bizzaro behavior, as an any intoxilizee. | |||

A PBT test is not admissible in KY. Thus, not proof. It gives LE probable cause to arrest. Physical Manifestations and film of those manifestations are admissible. They are sufficient to convict. The burden of proof is Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. Not all doubt is reasonable. No state requires all found to be defeated, not all shadow of doubt. Absolute doubt is not required. That belief gets you struck for cause. I do lot even have to use a strike. I am surprised LE at the Capital did not arrest him for Public Intoxication, or wait until he got behind the wheel and arrest him for dui. Now, if he had a doctor and certified medical records of some condition that causes this, I would listen. | |||

You were not asked if he looks impaired. You think he possibly could be impaired do to a medical condition. The question is does he look drunk to you? Yes or no? Funny you can tell how healthy a homeless person is just driving by him, but you cssnmot tell if someone is under the influence of intoxicants. I do not believe a PNT test is even admissible in Texas, but that video and how he acts are proof. | |||

This is why the term deplorable gets used. The Republican is owed the benefit of the doubt. The Democrat is already proven a reprobate by signing onto the Democratic platform. Cool | |||

You nor any Juror get to decide the PDT is admissible. By law it is a mistrial for a PBT to even be mentioned to the Jury. You are not allowed to even hear about it. You would be struck for cause. No one would even have to use a strike on you. For someone who claims to be around the Legal System as much as you, you could not pass a basic civics test. Not all doubt is reasonable. The standard is not all doubt or a shadow of a doubt. You as a juror have no say on what is admissible evidence. That video is. | |||

Watch him. He is impaired. I wouldn’t care about the specifics, he was trying to do the people’s business in an impaired state. He hasn’t apologized or offered a rationale as to why he shouldn’t be impeached. Go ahead with removal. | |||

What additional evidence would you need? Don't get me wrong--I agree with you. I'm asking myself the same question. | |||

The fellow was impaired. In a trial if he had a plausible explanation for impairment, I would accept it unless there was objective proof he was under the influence of alcohol. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Impaired the evidence is there. Drunk? Witnesses stating they saw him drinking. Witnesses stating the smelled alcohol on his breath. A blood alcohol test showing levels close to or above the legal limit of impairment relatively proximate to his acts. Disprove? A good clinical diagnosis of a state that can cause alteration and proof that he has it would make me feel that he may not be at fault for his impairment, but the film itself speaks that he was impaired... He would need to prove to me that it was not his fault he was impaired to get me to consider a lesser punishment by mitigation. | |||

LHeym, is the charge alcohol intoxication or is it driving under the influence of a substance? If its driving under the influence, what the substance is is irrelevant, its if he is impaired. Folks are claiming he's drunk on alcohol. I don't know that... but I certainly see impairment. Maybe its the scientific mindset... but you need to state the question correctly to get scientific types to agree. Lane, is the speaker impaired? That is as good an answer as you can get from a scientific type from that video. Are the odds pretty good that it is alcohol? I would say so given the guy isn't usually that way, but that's a supposition, not a fact. | |||

If he wasn't driving, he couldn't be charged with DUI. The standard is what more is needed for impeachment--which is largely a political decision. Unless he has a reasonable explanation for his condition as shown on the video, I would vote for impeachment. | |||

I would agree with that. | |||

My defense lawyer is DUI. This House Speaker should have been arrested for PI, or better yet, let him get behind the shell of his car. When he turns the engine on stop him for DUI. Then you can field sobriety test him which is admissible and PBT him to get a warrant for his blood. TX probably still has implied consent. This, after the PBT or Field Sobriety Test the officer does not have to get a warrant to take his blood. Yes, he can refuse. However, in implied consent states the refusal is permissible evidence in the case in chief of guilt. | |||

Good bye Paxton Not concerning about the guy who does not use any sentences nor punctuation. Go try to overturn a due election JTex. The 2020 and 2022 elections went so well for you. Dr. Butler we know what illegal violence the Nazis used and not just the Pusch. It is not revisionist. You are flat out wrong. You are trying to be revisionist. Go read a book if you want to know all the illegal ways the Nazis and Fascist came to pier. It Bette yet, take a 21 century history class. The Nazis and Fascist takeover is not equivalent to your examples. Certainly it is not equivalent to your FDR example. JTex, your man Dugga did not write or type a complete sentence. | |||

Objective proof beyond the video? To be fair, here's what I see you saying: if he brought a doctor to the trial who said he had stroked out, suffered some sort of medical neurological impairment...or, if there was some other sort of medical reason for him acting like he was totally shit-faced, that would give you an excuse to say he wasn't totally shit-faced. Right? BTW, still waiting for that statement from Phelan's office about that stroke or whatever it was. Been more than a week and not one word. What do you think that means, Lane? Maybe that there wasn't a medical excuse? Because if there was, we would have heard about it the next day, if not sooner? -Every damn thing is your own fault if you are any good. | |||

Is there a reason to show up for a legislative session sober? I'm not sure I e seen anything more useless that a 21st century legislature, why not tie on a good one in advance? | |||

The back story I'm seeing on this is that it was a light-night session and it is a long tradition in the Texas House to booze during late-night sessions. They even have a bar in the legislative chamber. -Every damn thing is your own fault if you are any good. | |||

So the intent and design is to show up hammered. Texas is forward thinking, I like it! | |||
