[WFAA 8 - DFW] Texas Senate adopts 31 rules for AG Paxton's impeachment trial | Wife Sen. Angela Paxton will not be allowed to vote
The resolution included 31 rules, including one excluding Sen. Angela Paxton from voting on "any matter, motion, or question" in the trial and from participating in closed deliberations.
Guess who was one of the three senators who voted against the rules.

I’m surprised and happy to hear that she will not be participating. I’m not surprised to hear she voted against the rules.
Why was she even on that committee?
That’s honestly surprising. Get fucked Paxton.
So after reading into it more it's actual right to be pessimistic unfortunately. She gets to sit on the hearing and be present but isn't allowed to vote. So she's essentially an automatic no. It's like they put it in there for the headline with the loophole to get what they actually want.
She represents me in the Texas senate. May she find new employment.
