If that were the case, if impeachments were used for political purposes to attack those they don't like, you would see impeachments taking place every year, every other year. Whatever the case may be, I want you to know this. In the long, illustrious history of the state of Texas, there's been exactly three impeachments. Those three impeachments have taken place over the last 100 years. Paul Ferguson, 100 years ago was impeached. He was the governor. There was a district judge impeached in 1975. (19:52–19:59)
