"So when he was governor of Texas..."

So, you're saying that because he let the Texas courts administer justice (their job) without his meddling in it (not his job) that he is somehow guilty of revenge killing? That's quite a stretch, don't you think? Or do you favor the sort of activism that thwarts the will of the people?

Only the board of pardons and paroles has that ability and the governor has no control over that.
