Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asked an Illinois court to order the arrest of House Democrats who left the state to block a mid-decade GOP congressional map redrawing. Paxton filed his lawsuit in a heavily Republican area within the Democratic-led state.
This escalation is key for Repubs. to survive politically. A state vs state fight. Should Paxton win (unlikely. SCOTUS has already banned it) the interstate litigation (everything from environmental pollution to land disputes) that will transpire will be epic We will no longer be the United States.
All his fillings should have a rim shot sound effect.
On what charge? Breaking quorum is allowed in the TX Constitution.
Nazis: "Charges? We don't need no steenking charges!"
The charges are: "Dear Leader wills it"
Abbott and Paxton are crashing out so very hard on this. There’s a really big foot on their necks, pressure, to deliver results to their cult leader.
Fuck that criminal asshole.
Okay…but Dumpy is ignoring court orders for basically everything so…it doesn’t matter what they say 🤷🏼♀️
Is adultery still a crime in Texas?--if it is, somebody needs to drop an arrest warrant on Kenny boy
Speaking of vile republicans…
Wow, amazing how the orange monster and his minions have divided this country. The divider in chief, us vs. them, fox fueling the fire. So much for the U.S. of A.
😠
Ken Paxton looks like he was incubated face-first in a frying pan.
For what? Traveling?🙄 Fine, give Kenny the ball.
Let’s put him in jail 1st. True criminal.
Yes the confederacy demands.
Is that a double chin? No chin? Weird.
Heavily Republican southeastern areas of IL wants to secede and become part of the state of IN. We don't want those MAGAs since we have enough of them as it is. Don't know much about the western county in IL where Paxton filed his lawsuit but I don't see it going anywhere.
Not gonna happen, Ken. Stop already with the empty political rhetoric ...
Counterargument: Arrest texas republicans, we are attempting to commit election fraud.
👆
Paxton is a criminal and SHOULD be arrested now!!!

And I hope that court quickly turns around and indicates that he doesn't have standing...and the fact that they aren't in that district, so it's pointless. That's the classic forum-shopping...and a dumb one too.
Arrest the GOP House members who were sent on vacation early by Johnson. He wanted to avoid votes on the Epstein/Trump files
they did set the example now, didn't they?
After Paxton's felonies in 2015 & 2020, he still avoided prosecution because, well, because Texas is really corrupt. Paxton was impeached, but in the TX Senate—where Paxton’s wife, Angela Paxton, is one of 19 GOP senators—he was acquitted share.google/2JilKRSpNw6S...
Felon Ken Paxton made a "deal" (you know, like all wealthy white people, like Epstein) to end his securities fraud charges weeks before trial Sadly, we have this criminal in office now. If he had been convicted, Paxton could have been sentenced to life in prison. share.google/2JilKRSpNw6S...

Felon Ken Paxton agreed to community service & paying restitution to avoid trial in securities fraud case. Paxton was also required to take 15 hrs of legal ethics courses and pay those he defrauded. Pretty sure he skipped the ethics class. share.google/drkUUtGRUQiL...
Corrupt, amoral, degenerate, impeached twit files lawsuit to get nod from corrupt, amoral, degenerate, impeached twit to win a primary against a decent man, recently turned into a corrupt, amoral, degenerate twit while pleasing the previously mentioned corrupt, amoral, degenerate, impeached twit.
No problem, the Illinois Appellate Court will tell the local Court to shove it.
But it's the attempt that is so galling.
Loser
Illinois AG should charge Ken Paxton for [pick just about anything].
Get the fuck out of my state.
Arrest for breaking WHAT LAW???

I want Governor Pritzker to run for President.
He already decided against that.
Adams county has zero jurisdiction. They’d be wise to be in Chicago anyway. This is abuse of the legal process.
Amazing pile of shit. THERE IS NO LEGAL BASIS
Since when has that ever stopped Paxton from doing anything? 🤮💔🤬
"Paxton filed his lawsuit in a heavily Republican area within the Democratic-led state." 👆of he did 👆
👉👆of course he did 👆👈 I really need to proofread before posting
Illinois AG should counter with vacating Paxton’s fraud deal
Some real POS
Filing a lawsuit with no law broken, tax dollars so well spent!
Shocking news 😑
The lawsuit will go no where fast.
Havent seen them, think their in Florida
With all due respect ( and that ain’t a thimble 🪡🧵ful!) GO JUMP IN THE GULF OF 🇲🇽 MEXICO YOU KEYSTONE C🤪WB🥸YZZ!
The TX Dems are not breaking Illinois laws... they're not breaking federal laws either... TX GOP can suck it.
Arrest all of the U.S. Congress members who left Washington rather than vote on Epstein legislation!
If these guys played poker in the olden days they would all be dead for cheating. This is all they know and strive for. Not for the good of all, but their own warped agendas. If our country ever breaks down into major civil disobedience people like Paxton will have a short shelf life.
Not malicious or devious at all
I hope Pritzker trolls him today.
That's funny that he filed that in a heavily Republican area of the state. Guess where that gets ultimately appealed to? The Democratic-controlled Illinois Supreme Court.
