oped: First and foremost a indictment by a grand jury has a low bar set to refer a complaint to a judge for prosecution...the foreman of the grand jury has a great influence on how the panel votes...the question now becomes is the foreman of the Grand Jury a Progressive Obama supporter? as is the DA who filed the complaint! My best guess would be yes! The sitting Judge will most likely be a Obama supporter and it would be in the best interest of the Judge to dismiss the false and provocative charges found in the indictment.
Governor Perry had every right under the laws of Texas to veto funding for a DA who failed in her duties as a law enforcement officer of the court! end of story #Period
Side Note:
Rosemary Lehmberg is a embarrassment to Travis County and the great state of Texas...when did it become do as I say not as I do?...Oh wait 2008 when #Obama was elected and appointed Eric Holder as USAG!
Liberals at their finest here. Perry is doing the right thing and liberals try to embarrass him.
A grand jury indicted Governor Rick Perry Friday for his attempts to remove Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg from office after she was arrested for driving while intoxicated last year in a case that made national headlines.
In April 2013, Lehmberg was arrested after a witness called 911, describing her as driving erratically, swerving back and forth into the bike lane, and into oncoming traffic. Officers at the scene reportedly found an open bottle of vodka in her car, and a blood sample obtained later that evening purportedly showed a blood alcohol level of 0.239—almost three times the legal limit—even that many hours later.

Not only did her arrest attracted
headlines, but her belligerent behavior after she was brought to the
police station—all captured on video
tape—drew attention, as well. Lehmberg is seen blaming the police for
destroying her political career, yelling and insulting them; demanding
that they call Travis County Sheriff Greg Hamilton; sticking out her
tongue; making faces; kicking at the door to her cell; and eventually
getting restrained with leg irons, being strapped to a chair and wearing
what is commonly referred to as a “spit mask,” which is usually used
when a detainee is spitting or biting. To be fair, the video does not
expressly show that happening, and Lehmberg’s defense attorney later
claimed that the mask was used to “protect her identity.”
