Rosemary Lehmberg, Democrat and the district attorney for Travis County, who was arrested for drunken driving in April 2013.

Did she lose her driver’s license and if so, are the Texas tax payers funding a cab service for her?????

And some of us are working on that, so Texas State government (or local government) doesn't get to say who can carry what, how, or when, unless the carrier is adjudicated as incompetent.

No harm/no foul. Ball plays at the line.

There is that. It affects him much less than it would affect me.

I don't have a Praetorian guard.

Not in PA. Don’t know about TX. ‘Course if he has any sense he’s already well stocked.

Deprivation of rights under color of law

It’s a felony 18 USC 242

Lehmberg and her buddies need to get attornies of their own

It would take a seriously good lawyer... like Dan'l Webster, to argue that he couldn't carry in his personal capacity, but as CINC of Texas, he has an obligation to carry.

I'd pay to hear that argument in front of the Supreme Court of Texas.

You have obviously never mixed it up with the IRS, or been accused of anything relating to the ‘war on drugs’. SOP is that they confiscate everything and you are hosed until you prove your innocence.

Yeah, but look at the side bar. ‘Four reasons Perry’s Indictment Could Increase his Presidential Chances’. If he plays his card right he could be the only strong Presidential hopeful the Republican’s have. Good things come in strange looking packages.

True that.

You have to have a seriously good, meat-eating lawyer with kids getting ready for college to slow any of that down.

I don't want Perry for President. I won't vote for him in a primary or general election. He's a liberal that Rove recruited.

That said, he needs to fight this political BS hard. I've already sent a note to him supporting his fight against the indictment, and encouraging him to spit in their eye.

Hmmm..... It wouldn’t surprise me. After all, a government official is entitled to these perks. They are after all, better than the rest of us.

I often think about Gov. Perry as I prepare to take my dachshund out for a walk. I make sure my little “Ruby” will also be protected just in case.

It's true. Lawyer up at the first chance.

It's what law enforcement does.

It's Austin.

Texas Democrats have been bitter ever since the redistricting that resulted from the 2000 census.

That's why the went after Tom DeLay so hard, because he was the central figure in the mid-decade redistricting that followed in 2003 that resulted in the ouster of Democrat Representative Martin Frost.

Governor Rick Perry was also a party to the redistricting, so think of this as really long knives -- payback a decade late.

See 2003 Texas redistricting for all the gory details.

But that’s the seat of the government, right? If that’s corrupt - well is it no better than Jersey or NY or Washington, DC?
