Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is receiving massive praise for his efforts to get the Save America Act passed through Congress.

Paxton is currently in a primary battle with incumbent Sen. John Cornyn. Because neither he nor Cornyn received over 50 percent of the votes in Tuesday’s election, they’re scheduled for a runoff election in May.

However, in a stunning move, Paxton posted a tweet Thursday offering to drop out of the runoff election if the Senate “agrees to lift the filibuster” so that it can pass the SAVE America Act without Democrat votes.

making him look unreasonable

I hope I'm correctly reading public opinion on this. It is reasonable to end the silent filibuster; this is never how it was intended.

nowhere else to go to keep the grift going.

Maybe not. But he can fuck off to where ever the hell Rick Perry is.

The silent filibuster needs to go. Stand up there and talk if you want to play Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
