"At the center of the issue is a complaint about intimidation stemming from Perry’s threat to veto of $3.7 million in state funding to the Public Integrity Unit run by Lehmberg’s office. The threat came after she pleaded guilty to drunk driving and served a 45-day sentence; Perry called on her to step down but she refused to resign her position. Perry then vetoed the funding for the PIU." sounds abusive to me Rocket River

Nice. Sure she messed up. I don't want her in office either, but if she didn't do something that kicks her out automatically then she doesn't have to concede her position. What I don't understand is why Perry wanted her out so badly. Sure drinking and driving is a terrible crime, but is it worth committing another crime to right her wrong? ...Apparently yes!
in Travis County, being a Republican is grounds for indictment but conviction is not the objective, just like with Tom Delay just like Scott Walker, any effective GOP politician is a target for criminal prosecution
Do you disagree with the facts of the case? Do you disagree that what he did was illegal / an abuse of power? Or are you just randomly posting videos and twitter feeds? Interesting to see how much you want Obama investigated for every little thing - despite finding nothing every single time - but run wildly away from a case where there was actually a grand jury indictment and pretty open facts.
