Don't forget the TEF and ETF AND the HPV mandate AND the Trans-Texas Corridor AND .......

What a bunch of morons.

When have Republicans not been critical of their leaders? It is the Democrats who march their jackboots in lock-step and salute the leader as they cross the viewing platform.

You have a history posting under a different screen name earlier when your dad was running for governor of Texas.

I take nothing you say seriously.

What people will remember is the drunk videos of the prosecutor.

I can't understand what the writer's point is.

And I cannot take anyone seriously who criticizes anyone who they think 'exceeded their authority' without first having flogged the living hell out of Barack Obama's non-stop abuse of his authority at the executive level, which of course affects far more of us far, far more profoundly than would anything a governor did to some local DA.

They shouldn't be taken seriously.

The only requirement he made is that the disgraced DA resign her post as head of ethics investigations.

What's not to like?

[Ronin]

Interesting.

“Questions about motive are now being raised – questions about why Perry may have wanted a chance to appoint the Travis County DA’s replacement.”

The DA is a Travis County elected official, Gov. Perry wouldn’t be able to appoint a replacement .... what a douche.

[JRandomFreeper]

I encourage everyone to search on "JoAnn Fleming, Texas" to see what a piece of work she really is.

And ugly like she fell out of the tree, and hit every branch on the way down.

If you want to defend a state public-integrity unit being overseen by an alcoholic county DA who gets caught driving drunk with a .23, with a handle of vodka on the passenger seat, who fights with the jail deputies, threatens their careers, tells them to call their boss, gets herself put in restraints and a spit mask, and the arraigning judge refuses to hear her case until she cools off...go ahead. I’ll just note that you have a different notion of “public integrity” than I do.

To say nothing of the jury-selection shenanigans that led to a Democrat State Convention delegate getting to vote on the Perry indictment.

[eyeamok]

It is writers like this that makes me want to BAN WOMEN FROM VOTING again.

The criminal justice process will now proceed to determine whether Gov. Perry’s public calls for DA Rosemary Lehmberg to resign and his subsequent threats to cut funding to the office if she didn’t constituted a quid pro quo condition that perhaps crossed the line into abuse of office.

ALL political compromise, including between the executive and legislative branches is "quid pro quo". The only time this would come into play is if Perry said he would veto the bill unless he found $80,000 in cash in his freezer, or something like that.

Obama exceeds this threshold on multiple occasions with his threats to issue executive orders because Congress won't always give him his way.

[NorthMountain]

Your hero ...

Skunk-drunk Lehmberg ...

[MamaTexan]

but now the entirely predictable and preventable fall-out from CPRIT

LOL! The author is certain THIS is what it's all about?

That it has nothing to with the fact that as the DA continues to hold that office, it puts EVERY prosecution and EVERY conviction in jeopardy? Or that the State could waste millions on fighting off challenges to the determinations of the 'Integrity Unit' because the person that runs it is a documented drunk?

Maybe she should figure out what is meant by the words 'no confidence' and stop looking for pay for play boogiemen under her bed.

[piytar]

What cr@p.

Don’t forget to STFU.

[Pox]

The absurd line(s) of reason in this “article” leave out many useful facts that would derail it in the beginning so I see little useful information after the first two or three paragraphs.

No legs at all once the case gets in front of a judge and the lawyers for Perry point out the specific clauses in the laws concerning the allegations are pointed out. We’ve already seen them on this site in previous threads and this is going nowhere unless it is time to throw true justice out the window.

If that happens, it is really time to start fixing our problems via the bullet box, IMO.

[Marcella]

You again? Crawled out of your hole to dump on Perry? You did the same thing creating trash about State Attorney General Greg Abbott until your chosen incompetent candidate QUIT. He was a loser and so are you - go pound sand.
