Better but still not quite right. Paxton was acquitted of all counts in the Texas Senate and remains in his post.

The suing of a presidential admin by a state AG says very little about the merits of the lawsuit. Pointing it out as a reason to dismiss the legitimacy of a suit stains your reply with obvious bias against conservative policy.

There are plenty of reasons to not like Paxton. Suing POTUS is not high on the list.

No, it's pointing out that no serious person could level 50 individual suits against the state and meaningfully progress them all. I align myself with conservative and liberal politicians that represent meaningful changes in policy; this is not it. A cursory look at this guy's history will clearly show that he's a republican reactionary, not a conservative.

Wasn't he actively threatening the Texas House before the impeachment trial? I'm not sure if that counts as exonerating?
