And the courts do not have that power isn't that correct Mr Elias

In an extraordinary act of civil responsibility, a group of Texas state lawm… Isaac Schier needs your support for Support Texas Democrats Defending Democracy
Another born-to-lose lawsuit, just what the world needs.
Now sue paxton for agreeing to trump's demand. Asshole.
The guy who filed suit to interfere in Pennsylvania's election count in 2020 (despite no evidence).
Corruption at every level and no guardrails to stop it...how are all you non-voters feeling about all this rampant crime the government is doing? You okay with all this?
🤣🤣🤣desperation calls for the impossible and illegal methods! That's not how it works. 🤭
More maga theater. Texas GOP is threatening fines, lawsuits & arrests over Dems breaking quorum.
History says: Nah! Nice try, not a chance!! Courts won’t back expulsions.
Maybe they can expect lost pay (doubtful) & political heat, not removals.
This ends in a deal, not a purge. End of show.
Paxton is another corrupt Texas politician 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
On "BIBLICAL GROUNDS?"
Snake eyes 👀✅
I hope someone intervenes and files a motion that suggests the court respond in the style of Emil Bove.
Maybe the democrats should say they’re all going on a religious retreat.
Go ahead try it Texas try it DT try it FBI.

Paxton Securities Fraud:
Paxton's attorneys emphasized in a statement Tuesday that he made no admission of guilt under the agreement.
13 duly elected Democratic officials. I say Dems ask courts remove fascist AG Ken Paxton from office.
GOP continues to lie, and cheat to win as they do not have the public's support.
Paxton is mostly happy noone seems to be talking about why his wife wants a divorce and what the hell those "biblical grounds" might be.
Fuk him (Paxton) he is a weak stupid man! Just like thump, weak, pathetic, sick minded men who are raping our country, of more wealth, prosperity, humane society, it’s NOT NORMAL!
The criminal is an AG. See how it works in the US? Next you will find out your president is a pedophile and Republicans are bribe takers. You going to let them rig your government and kidnap your loved ones? Are you.
He'll get his, they all will one day!
When the sky is bright canary yellow I forget ev'ry cloud I've ever seen So they called me a cockeyed optimist Immature and incurably green
Such a cockeyed tool
He can’t do that.
Someone in TX needs to file a lawsuit to enforce jail time for their corrupt AG. Wasn’t he convicted?
si no me equivoco los representantes fueron elegidos democráticamente por el pueblo
jodete Paxton
Let me just double check this...
GOP can leave DC in order to aid the coverup of a child rapist. That's fine.
Dems can not leave TX in order to save democracy. That's expulsion or jail.
OK. I think I understand now. Fascism.
Ask all ya want. Qourum-breaking isn't against the law. So Ken Paxton can go F himself!
Does that mean we can sue to have Ted Cruz removed now?
file class action suit v Abbott, Paxton, GOP Senate hostile work environment Breach of Article I, Section 2 of Constitution 52 USC § 20511 Federal Election Fraud Cultist illegal acts not covered under immunity clause not part of job duties to commit Felonies sue them Personally & position they hold
Well if you read Rep Wu response to the Governor, making Abbott look the fool, must mean Paxton will also look the fool
That's rich coming from a criminal thug like him.
Let me get this straight. The Republican AG is asking the court to remove the Dems from office because the Dems are trying to stop the Republicans from illegally changing their voting maps.
So they are asking the court to let them break the law?
Heh. Funny country we live in.
Ken Paxton is a pustule on Satan’s ass.
Abbotts Posse is coming your way, Patriots 🤠
Sue them fascist RINOs.
He should be in gd jail.
They all are spiraling. I love this journey for them.
Does the R stand for racist? Asking for a friend.
Only Texas would have an AG with no knowledge of the state constitution
Good - it’s time to choose sides. I fear I already know on which side the TX courts sit.
Corrupt m-fed. I mean corrupt.
Quorum breaking is specifically allowed by the Texas Constitution. It’s been used since the 1870s. No surprise that a criminal like Ken Paxton would choose to ignore the law. 🙄
How come Paxton isn’t in Prison?
Corrupt. Criminal. Adulterer. Scumbag.
I hate this asshole.
How is this legal? These are duly elected Democratic State Legislators....they're going to have to have new elections. How remarkedly ignorant!
Ken!! You know your chances based on your own record , you have the credibility of slug
They're allowed to break quorum to prevent votes and can only be charged 500 dollars a day, the seat can be considered abandoned by higher courts in Texas but it's unlikely because of the Texas constitution.
His butt should have been removed from office a long time ago, but the rethuglicans didn't have the cajones.
Douche
“Come and take me”
What a stooge.
Pretty sure Paxton is in the Epstein Files, everybody is talking about it.
Why isn't that little shit Paxton in prison?
OPEN court documents below and find out exactly what Trump and Epstein did. He's a Predator, NOT a President! www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...
Why are there azzholes on earth
Paxton should be jail for his crimes.
Court needs to schedule hearings in December
Do they have a legal basis, no matter how specious, or are they just hoping for a lapdog court to rule how they want?
So, Ken Paxton and the Texas Republican are angry because they're being denied their right to vote. Have I got that right?!!
"Fuck Your Sandwich" bumper magnet or sticker. Only a couple bucks. Get one and enjoy pissing off all MAGA men.
Paxton is a pathetic hypocrite
Bring it on. It's time to end this charade. Dem controlled states, time to be ruthless. What shall we call the modern version of Union States?
As a non American, I'm still shocked the people aren't fighting back. I mean literally fighting. It's almost over for your freedom
Stand tall Dems...
What ever happened to the Texas flood victims? It's all about one-eyed Paxton.
He needs a new eye to read.
Serial cheater
Corrupt Ken can’t keep it his pants & will take another L in court
Jesus Christ...ken Paxton is a scumbag.
Paxton has dodged more bullets than a Wild West outlaw: securities fraud, impeachment, federal probes etc. But in the court of public opinion, his divorce could be the scandal that finally sticks. Angela’s not just his wife; she’s a fellow Nazi politician & hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Epstein
F him—Paxton was indicted by his own Texas GOP— he is scum
So they want THEIR vote to count? Do I have that right?
Yeah, but this picture… what the hell are we looking at here, Marc?
Paxton is really worried about going to prison when the house of cards finally topples.
😂🤣 he can file away, isn’t gonna accomplish much
The only criminal in this is Paxton. That guy has no business in public service.
Illegal but I don’t know if that matters anymore.
Ironic is maybe the word when criminal Paxton is trying to remove the Democrats from office
Removing ken to a deserted desert, preferably in the Middle East would be cheaper and more useful
Squinty Philanderer needs to never hold office again.
We here in Illinois will protect them and keep them safe. Our governor is the BEST and not even a little scared of the Dotard or Governor Wheels.
The experts on lawlessness suing those who are protecting the law accusing they are doing something illegal…
There is a thing called an election. That’s the way it’s done in America, Ken.
How are american voters reacting to this? Have they written and called the offices of the republican reps to ask that they not remove their legally elected officials?
#AGKPaxton didn’t wasted anytime taking action trying to remove Democrats from Office. Yet, he still hasn’t done anything about the Jan6 insurrectionists Republican that are still holding their jobs … that’s who needs to get out of jobs not Democrats doing the work people are asking them to do .
Well, even if they are removed, there is still no Democrats on seats for a quorum.
Another good day when a piece of shit repub doesn't get his way.
Hmmmm…..they are LITERALLY TRYING TO REWRITE THE CONSTITUTION AND THE LAW!!!!! Go figure. Project 2025 in full action as we speak.
The Texas courts are as crooked as Texas GOP.
The USA is fkd, and I’m saying this as a Brit.
I can’t understand how so many lawyers in the US are helping politicians break the law and the American bar association isn’t disbarring anyone yet. What is wrong with that group?
No problem. Now all blue states follow suit. 👊🏼🔥with 🔥
The creep factor of this guy is massive. It matches his ego.
The big question, assuming the actual law matters: clearly if these people just abandoned their position they ought to be removed from office. What would be the process and burden of proof if they had just gone to, say, Cancun? And how is that different from this form of conscientious objection?
If that were possible, Ken Paxton would've been removed years ago
Mark, how's the wife?
We live in the Age of We Say So. Whether it is Texas GOP, national (Trump), Nuttin Yahoo in Israel, laws be damned. Courts move so slow we will be on to a hundred other things by the time the case goes to court. Until they change all the judges. How’s Your day going?
Problem here is all the judges are in on it as well.
another vile, evil, pig
Offhand I would say the judicial branch should not be able to remove a member of the legislative branch.
But hey, Texas?
Lazy eyed goon did what?
Could we remove Ted Cruz? What about DonOld for all the time he spends golfing on taxpayers’ dime?
When you absolutely positively just have to cheat.
Somebody needs to beat the shit out of Paxton
criminal to the core
What a bully. The GOP does the same shit.
He’s a criminal that has escaped justice for decades — scumbag
OATH OF OFFICE mean anything to anyone? No?...
Please, I beg of you Texas Democrats hold your ground not for just Texas, but for All of us. We need fighters for Our Constitution!!! I wish I could hug you all for what you stand for!
Fuck these losers they know the people want them gone
Welp, time to water that old tree of liberty again, right Republicans?
The Dems were elected and duly installed by the legislature. Only the voters can remove them.
After law school and passing my States Bar I was sworn in, took an oath to hold up the Constitution of the United States. At this point it means nothing. It seems there is no legal action to strip a schmuck like Paxton and the whole lawyer deck of this fake administration of their bar cards.
Where are the Texans? I thought Texans prided themselves on fight. Underdog fight. Like the Alamo. Instead, they're cucking for a gold-plated, east coast city slicker. A loud mouthed, fast talking, snake oil salesman out of New York City! WTF?
If they’re forcibly removed from their seats, I can only imagine the uproar that would come from their constituents. There would probably be a lot of protests in cities like Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston.
What's the status of the indictment against Paxton ??
Has anyone asked Paxton lately about the "biblical grounds" for divorce? Why not ask him about the time he fled from home to avoid a subpoena?
If they're removed from office they still won't have a quorum
TexASS, Flor'DUH, the biblethumpin' south, flyover states = Gilead. Let's just divide the country- there is NOTHING "united" about the "United" States right now.
Okay.
