Indicted Governor Perry says the Travis County DA should have resigned following her  DUI conviction.  

I am actually surprised to see you jump to conclusions on a story that is, what Mari, 4-5 days old? And you are an attorney right? Are you sure about that? lol

...I am actually surprised to see you jump to the conclusion that marikod is an attorney.

on it tomorrow !  

He has the legal authority to veto. End of story. This was perpetrated 100% by the Left and the best it will accomplish is to prevent Perry's run for president.

high speed rail unless Congressman Darrell Issa resigned? Suppose Mr. Obama said He did not think someone twice indicted for grand larceny should be a Congressman? Suppose Mr. Obama  said that Issa’s investigation of the IRS had nothing to do with this veto? You and Fox News would have a meltdown if that happened.

Hey Mari,  

and he certainly has that "attorney like skill" of stating opinions as if they are indisputable "facts"

Not to mention, he loves to come down on the "crazy side" of many arguments. Maybe he is using this place as practice, trying to defend the indefensible?

As to the OP, I take it I am one of the people he is talking about. Mari, rather than spend countless hours debating what may or may not happen in regards to Perry (who I completely detest I might add) lets make a "Real" wager on the outcome.

I bet this will not be Perry's "Waterloo, or Watergate" and that politically he will survive this, you obviously think differently.  Well, put your money where your mouth is, and lets bet. I will take any action you care to risk, but no stupid terms like you always attempt to do with ST C, I propose a straight bet, even odds. I say he survives this, you say he doesn't. I'll take any action up to say Ten Grand. Make it easy on yourself. any successful ambulance chaser would go for the full ten grand. an unemployed male porn star OTOH, would most likely want to make a bet along the lines of what Pripussy could afford.

IOW put up, or Shut up. I eagerly await your response.

and BTW, I still have that bottle of Krug. I will be more than happy to drink it  with you while collect my winnings from you once this case is resolved and Perry emerges relatively unscathed, and if you opt to wager the whole ten grand, I'll even spring for another bottle with which for you to wash down your sorrows. lmao

This is not going to be what brings him down.

Fortunately, the ooze simply pours out of Perry at a rate that all but the most rabid of righties can see with the naked eye, so I am not too worried about him ever being POTUS. I write off Mari's OP as "wishful thinking" but if he is serious in his delusions that this is really going to bring down Rick Perry, and end his political career. I would be more than happy to profit from it.

Rick Perry will eventually make a blunder that will either end his political career, put him in jail, or both, but this isn't the one.

End of story right? He just is exercising his constitutional right to veto.

It is now the Boston Globe, WaPo, NY Times, David Axelrod and Alan Dershowitz all rushing to Perry's aid.  

ou said:
The only problem with this theory is the Democrats had nothing to do with the indictment - a special prosecutor presented this case to the grand jury and Gov Perry was not in the jury room so he obviously does not actually know if politics played any part. Members of the grand jury have now come forward and denied any political motivation.  

He did NOT say that what Perry did was not a crime under Texas law. He said it should not be. He railed against the two statutes under which Perry was indicted. He said they reminded him of the Soviet Union.

for his presidential bid while under indictment. I predict he will be the first candidate out.
So the indictment is a big deal.

The president has legal authority to veto anything for any reason. No one has made any attempt to incriminate Obama for any of his vetos or veto threats. It has never happened. Obama's violations of the law have nothing to do with vetos.

It should be a slam dunk, easy money on your part. PLUS you would get to suck down a bottle of great champagne while getting the chance to tell me in person just how smart you are/were.

What a great deal for you. Should I count you in on the whole ten grand? Or do you have reservations about your position?

Of course. That's the whole purpose of the indictment.  

He said the indictment in this specific case was politically motivated only and reminds of the Soviet Union style tactic. You're comfortable with that assessment?  

according to the Huffpo link. Perry picked the judge who chose a Republican judge to handle the grand jury investigation. That judge picked the special prosecutor and decided to pick a special prosecutor for the very purpose of avoiding partisanship claims. Was this all a sham, Jack?

Boy you really can twist an argument cant you? EVERY one of those liberals have looked at the facts as you supposedly have done and ALL have come to the conclusion that not only shouldn't he be found guilty but it is a travesty of justice to even bring the charges!

Or maybe he is just chicken???

AAR, I am on a plane about to head south to Costa Rica, so if he accepts my gracious offer, it will be a few hours before I respond, BUT if he truly believes his own bullshit, he should step up to the plate and take this "easy money" I am offering. Or as I said earlier, maybe he is just chicken??? lmao

At least to those in the "inner circle". The idea is to get the zombie army all a flutter and attach indictment to his name in the mind of the Low Info Voter. There will be "evidence" that we will never see of Perry's corruption and this will drag on while they explain to us Perry's evil plot. Meanwhile the presidential primary season will come and go. Then they will quietly drop this and accuse some other Republican of something. Then repeat.

In the legal world imagination land rarely becomes reality. Yes you can make serious accusations, but ther isn't a single fact on your side.

That was too much heavy lifting for Jack LOL.

He was too busy disagreeing with EVERY person in this thread, numerous famous liberals, the 3 most prestigious newspapers in the country, constitutional scholars, etc etc etc. Well you get the idea. lol.

"to-wit; the duty to continue to carry out her responsibilities as the elected District Attorney for the County of Travis….”  

I'd bet that you are right.

I guess it's one thing to flap your gums on a fuck board, firmly avowing that you are right and the entire rest of the world is wrong, but it's quite another to back up your assertions with cold hard cash.

I guess by his silence, Mari is simply admitting he isn't quite as sure as he claims to be.
