We'll see. The problem is that the Texas Constitution makes the state enforcement powers very weak in comparison to other states. The real power lies at the county level.
When we need a bust of corrupt county officials, we need a federal angle so that the FBI can be brought in. The state simply isn't permitted to do it.
Don't think for a moment that Tom DeLay doesn't know this.
Wow Dog Gone, you sure know more about this stuff than I do. I'm just speaking from recent jury duty experience. I sure hope this comes back to bite Earle on the keester. I for one would be willing to do a Freep at the courthouse aimed at Earle. I hope your right about the eventuall outage of ratscapades regarding this.
