2009 Ron Paul 73:1
Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, as the House of
Representatives Member for Galveston,
Texas, I have followed the case of Judge
Samuel Kent with great interest. My study of
the facts of this case has convinced me that
the House Committee on the Judiciary made
the correct decision in recommending that
Judge Kent be impeached. Unfortunately, because
of a commitment in my congressional
district, I was only able to be on the House
floor for the vote on the first count. Had I been
on the House floor for the vote, I would have
voted for all four counts of impeachment. I
hope the Senate expeditiously acts on this
matter.
