The country is reeling - especially within the political realm - over the gross abuse of power demonstrated in the indictment of popular Texas Governor Rick Perry. The whole scenario is so bizarre it is almost laughable. There is plenty of corruption in government but usually it is the garden variety kind like theft lying nepotism etc. which is corrected with prosecution. This rises to a more disturbing level because it is the prosecutor who is corrupt. How do you fix that?
Rooting out corrupt Democrat lawyers is more difficult than prosecuting regular Americans due to the incestuous relationship between state bar associations and judges. They look out for their own and protect them while targeting conservative attorneys. No judge or prosecutor in Texas will want to prosecute Travis District County Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg a Democrat because of the risk of retaliation by her as a powerful public prosecutor. In her position she has connections and influence with the Texas Bar and the Bars attorney discipline judge.
Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was indictedin the same Texas county in 2005 for allegedly conspiring to break election laws. He was convicted in 2011 and only after appealing was he eventually acquitted in 2013 eight long years later. He warnedPerry last week about the biased legal system You better take this seriously" he said. All of the judges are Democrats. And we polled 300 jurors and the best I got was a Green Peace activist."
