Brit Hume's show talking about this now. Also saying Earle's son Jason is planning to run for office in Austin. His daughter may run for his DA slot whenever Ronnie decides to step down. "Beginnings of an Earle family dynasty" is how it was described.
Lots of pointed questions in the subpeona. There would need to be a judge that would order Earle to sit for questioning on this, unlikely according to Brit and reporter of story.
This is one district in Austin, where Earle's son doesn't stand a chance.
There will be no dynasty here.
The real change needs to take place in the Texas Legislature and Constitution [whichever or both] whereby the Travis County DA has this authority taken away from him and given to the State AG, imo.
This won't change a thing about the DeLay indictments but will change the future ones.....
