But please stop goofin' so much on Pat and her toadies and give us more on the rest of the HCCJC. Bennett did a blog on the announced judicial candidates a few weeks back. I'd love to see you weigh in on that.

I think the truth has great powers for them.

Don't you mean that you know they feel awful that they got caught?<br /><br />I dont live in Houston area anymore but it is good to see that the elected DA thinks that the IV drug users and perjurers in MLB need a break!<br /><br />Thanks for the great blog Murray and keep it up!

It is sort of surprising to me, given the state of things in Texas government, that protecting the identity of the Chon's sources who spill the beans on such earth-shattering scandals as "DA sends naughty e-mails" should be as important as the integrity of the grand jury system and the ability to investigate crime.<br /><br />Even more hilarious is the fact that - despite what those mouth breathers at the capitol in Austin might think is consti-wing-ding-dang-too-shonal - such a law is going to cost the Texas taxpayer a pretty penny to defend the first time a "reporter" fails to testify in front of a federal grand jury. And the state'll lose.<br /><br />-Eric M.-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-14397520434191840042009-06-15T07:44:01.684-05:002009-06-15T07:44:01.684-05:00Anon 3:27,

SB 328 will expand the availability of mandatory blood/breath samples without a warrant.
