I hope not. I want them right away. Based on the facts that Perry threatened to withhold money from an organization he believes to be run by a criminal, I'm interested to see what the rule of law is. What other facts do we need? Can the gov protect the state from local incompetence?

The rule of law is it is a crime in Texas to coerce a public official in the exercise of her duty. Doesn't matter if they are a heinous DWI convict - no such exception is provided.

If PErry gets off it will be because a judge rules the law unconstitutionally vague (it is vague). HE has clearly violated the letter of that law in broad daylight - but is the law a proper law?

The left-wing scumbags who orchestrated this charade are the ones who need to be charged and put on trial.

Even a lot of liberals are saying this is a joke. But then, you also have the kooks like tuba......

If I'm Perry, I move for a summary judgment to have the charges quashed before this abortion ever goes to trial.

Numerous legal scholars have questioned the validity of the charges and even people on the Dem side of the aisle, such as David Axelrod, say this indictment smells fishier than a mermaid's twat.


Perry and his legal team can easily argue that he was performing the duties of his office and that this is clear political payback for a legal act.
