I figured partisanship wasn't a factor in the impeachment trial of TX Attorney General Ken Paxton. (The articles of impeachment were voted on in the overwhelmingly Republican-led House of Representatives.) Oh, what a guileless, wide-eyed babe in the woods I was.

I do remember that what people like that nut log law professor on Tucker’s show say to minorities is, if you work hard, study, stay out of trouble and make the most of your opportunities you will become successful. The judge did all that and more, and was still called an affirmative action hire.
