Horse hockey. IF you had wanted to serve Houston, then they never would have been issued in the first place. This is nothing more than withdraw and wait for a more opportune moment.
” “I didn’t do this to satisfy them,” Mayor Annise Parker said, referring to critics of the subpoenas. “I did it because it was not serving Houston.”
Probably death threats : )
Dropped for now. Probably picked right back up after the elections.
Plum’ crazy! Some kind of dissociative disorder…detached from reality..RECALL this loony lesbian!
Sounds like a case of sour grapes to me.
Annise Parker is demonstrably unfit to hold any position of public trust and responsibility.
The defiant and unrepentant left-wing extremist mayor of Houston continues to defend her unconstitutional bullying.
(With props to King Henry for the sentence construction, but not for the call to action, which is only figurative): "Will no one rid me of this festering boil?"
Mayor Anus Parker can take hike over a very large cliff
Go back to carpet eating you fascist!
I’m genuinely puzzled. Is there a shortage of tar and feathers in Texas?
I imagine the legal challenges being prepared, along with the potential recall efforts being readied, have her scrambling not to "protect our Equal Rights Ordinance from repeal" but rather to protect her own sorry butt from winding up on a pitchfork.
When it comes to thinking and decision making, the parts below the waist don't that work well and hers seem to be a bit confused right from the start.
Sounds like Houston voters followed her example...D'oh!
You have to hand to the People of Tolerance and their Hateful approach to the Normal Community. This mayor became God in her own “mind” when she became Mayor”. She attempted to Assuage her hate on her favorite Hate Target, The Church.
What a Dope.
Impeachment is in Order, or Recall.
The ordinance in question is not an equal rights law - it is a SPECIAL rights law.
This article states the subpoena for “sermons” has been withdrawn, but isn’t clear if this withdrawal also applies to “speeches, presentations” or other working papers clergy might have used in researching and developing and writings related to this issue.
Has the city backed away only from demanding “sermons” or does this apply to all other documents?
“Gaaaaaaaaak!! Please just stop sending me Bibles!”
Homos used to be fine with live and let live now they demand we accept their sinful lifestyle.
Thatz jus gay...
What? This fascist totalitarian hasn’t been removed from office?
I am so old that I remember when Texas was less liberal than San Francisco.
Bawk bawk bawk ...
The only thing worse than a liberal bully is a liberal bully coward. But I repeat myself ... repeatedly.
The next fascist to try this kind of gestapo strongarming should face criminal charges, withdrawal or not. Othrwise, they’ll just keep pushing on the fence until it gives way.
The case was dropped because Houston was made a laughingstock.
My lease is up in nine months. Time to buy a house in Deer Park, La Porte, Channelview. Anyplace but Houston.
