Any one have any insight as to what is going on?
More criminalizing opposition to the left.
If you're a Republican, forget it. Wave bye-bye.
what ever became of that??? Just once I'd like to see a judge stomp on pissants like this.
Of course, that's just me.
It MIGHT be legal in Texas.

It’s the Ronnie Earl RAT Syndrome. Find a chink in some GOP officeholder’s armor and feed it to a “select” grand jury. This is similar to the John Chisholm RAT Syndrome in Wisconsin. The problem is that the GOP elect people that have skeletons in their closet and these RATS are only too willing to air their discretions in a “public forum.” Basically, if you are a Republican without sin, you are good to go (maybe). Otherwise you had better not seek public office today. Paxton is in for a ride, because RAT county DA’s in Texas evidently have carte blanche to trample whomever they choose.
The headline makes it sound like he hacked up a little old lady with a machete while holding up a liquor store.
The Perry phony case was trumped up by the Texas Public Integrity Unit, which is part of the office of the Travis County District Attorney (Travis County being the county in which the state capitol is located).
The TPIU seems only to indict Republicans. They also got Tom Delay.
This prosecution seems to be coming from a special prosecutor; I am not able to discover who hired the special prosecutor.
Paxton on Saturday issued statement against same sex marriage. That’s what’s going on.
Might be time for the TX legislature to strip the Austin area DAs office of jurisdiction over state government officials.
After he told the county clerks they didn’t have to give marriage licenses to homos, they’re going to take him down any way they can. It’s a good bet Abbott backs down, too. And when Abbott does, the game is over. They’ll have Abbott and Paxton both in their back pockets just like Justice Roberts.
