“To quote Denzel Washington from the movie Training Day: “This is chess, it ain’t checkers!”
Since she heads some sort of state-wide, super-duper position to supervise political corruption in the whole state of Texas I think Perry has every right to apply pressure in a variety of ways to get Rosemary “Straight-Vodka” Lehmberg to step down from office.
Otherwise, who is going to make that request of her and apply convincing pressure - you or me, who are nobody’s?”
First of all, this isn’t a movie so whatever was quoted in one doesn’t really have any bearing on the reality of the thing.
Second of all what you think has no bearing on the law here.
She’s an elected official who answers to Travis County and it’s voters. Not the governors office.
Third of all. I stated I expect the Travis County voters will bounce her when she’s up for re-election.
The voters of the county could recall her. Perry didn’t have that authority.
Whether or not she’s a drunk has nothing to do with the coercion question. If Perry had the power to fire her, he would have just fired her. He didn’t and so he used coercion instead.
“First of all, this isn’t a movie so .. “
Good bye and so long Bob. In my book you’re an idiot.
