"The Perry Indictment’s Predecessor"
It seems likely that this explains a desperate attempt at changing the status quo in Texas...
John Fund writes about it at National Review Online:
"'It has been since 1994 that a Democrat has been elected in Texas.' Given that Texas has 15 elected officials, that is indeed a long and extensive drought.
But the way to overcome political obstacles is with superior ideas and better political organization. That’s how you win elections, and that’s something Texas Democrats haven’t done well at. Criminalizing political differences and celebrating indictments is a poor substitute for winning votes. It also undermines public confidence in the very system that all elected officials — regardless of party — depend upon for their legitimacy."
