Also:

In 2001, the House (which at the time had a 78-72 Democratic majority) voted 142-1 in favor. The Senate, with a 16-15 Republican majority, voted 27-3 to pass it.

Perry could not veto a majority bill from the legislature.

So, technically, if people want to bitch about it:

Put the blame where it belongs - on the Texas Legislature who passed the damn bill. Not Perry.

“Put the blame where it belongs - on the Texas Legislature who passed the damn bill. Not Perry”

That logic has two problems:

1. Did Perry approve it or stand on principle and reject it?

2. Did Perry say he would repeal it or did he say he would defend it?
