A statute says that a candidate for public office, having screwed up, is “forgiven” if the voters elect or re-elect them. Ken Paxton says it applies to him … but should it?
He deserves no forgiveness because he's inherently corrupt. And, he tried to get taxpayers to pay for his corruption because he's arrogant to boot. He probably fulfills the necessary quota to be a positive on the Hare's checklist, https://psychology-tools.com/test/pcl-22 . Additionally, he was voted in by voters who're probably ignorant as to his indictment, both of its existence and if aware of it, of its import. And, lastly, he'll continue his corruption and crimes because he hasn't been punished for any of it. Forgiving him would literally give him license to continue his corrupt behavior.
When Paxton was indicted in 2015, he demanded — DEMANDED! — a speedy trial (as was his right). Then he and his friends did everything they could to slow-roll the trial for eight years now. In the meantime. he amassed other questionable ethical and legal troubles. His pigeons are coming home to roost.
Great choice for a song, spot on!
Paxton needs to go! No, would be my answer.
