Well, that happens when you elect a guy like Rick Perry, I guess. Not like it was under that fellow that had to resign the governorship and leave town - didn't he give a 30 day stay to a pickaxe murderer a few years ago?
He may have, I don't know. But if he did, it was a conscious decision, not a whiney whimpering bleeding heart type thing. The governors power is restricted to the 30 day type, not the Illinois 'set 'em all free' type, fyi...
