   EC> Legally, this is a joke.  No one is going to believe that it is illegal to   
   try    
   EC> to get someone to take a legal action by conditioning it on a legal action.   
   It    
   EC> is not as absurd as when the same office tried to go after Kay Bailey's   
   phone,    
   EC> but it is pretty close.   
      
   Quite possible... but it is going to be fun to watch as I stated.   
      
      
   EC> Politically, it is a dumb act of revenge.  They want to get some testimony   
   in    
   EC> that will publicize the ethics investigations of the Perry administration   
   by    
   EC> the ethics panel that lost some money, but unless they can get some solid    
   EC> evidence that his "real" reason for the veto was to hurt the investigations   
   I     
   EC> cannot see a judge letting it in.  Not even a Texas judge.  And if the    
   EC> prosecution DOES make the case that he was trying to kill the   
   investigations,    
   EC> that UNDERCUTS the whole idea that he was trying to coerce her into   
   resigning.   
      
   From what I read the prosecutor is a judge...    
      
   EC> Politically, they should be trying to HELP Perry's 2016 chances.  He is   
   dumb.     
   EC> He is inept.  His campaign will self-destruct next spring some time.  If he   
      
   EC> gets hurt politically by this, in spite of being eventually acquitted, that   
      
   EC> just pushes him out of the way early, and offers more momentum for some    
   EC> candidate that is less dumb and less inept.   
      
   Oh, I agree but there are a quite a few who thinks he walks on water in the   
   lone star.  I do enjoy getting a chuckle from the things he forgets during the   
   debates though, so I hope he hangs in there.  Imagine the grand jury waited to   
   see if Rick was nominated and then pulled the trigger... now THAT would have   
   been hilarious!!!    
      
   EC> And it does nothing to take the drunk DA off the public streets before   
   anyone    
   EC> is killed in a wreck.   
      
   Wonder how many felt the same way about GW Bush's DUI and "expungned" coke   
   conviction or Dick Cheney's two DWI pops.     
      
   In reviewing Texas statistics, DWI seems to be quite popular with the good ol'   
   boys... or in this case, gal. They lead the nation in deaths resulting from   
   DWI. Good work boys...
