Texas Congressman Al Green played an important role in the defeat of the impeachment of Sec. Mayorkas [View all]

Part of Congressman Al Green's district includes part of my county. I have known Al since around 2010 or so and got to explain to him the filings in the Texas Voter Id case and the role that ALEC played in voter suppression. Back in 2011, Al had not heard of ALEC. Al had been available when we needed voter protection help and is a good guy even though he told my kids that I was a civil rights attorney (I am a corporate attorney and voting rights is a hobby). Al introduced me to Congressman John Lewis at a fundraiser.

Al had surgery scheduled today and so Maga Mike and MTG scheduled this vote counting on Al not being able to vote.





MTG is pissed that Al showed up


A Texas congressperson helped save Sec. Mayorkas.

I fear that the GOP will redo this vote later and may still prevail.
