No Halloween Hearing for Perry
Gov. Rick Perry won't be making a Halloween court appearance after all.
The Oct. 31 hearing that had been scheduled in Perry's criminal case has been rescheduled for Nov. 6 at 10 a.m., a court employee confirmed.
Perry will be attending the hearing because his legal team is raising an evidentiary issue and visiting Judge Bert Richardson has ruled that requires the governor's presence.
Perry's defense attorneys have made a motion that the indictment against the governor should be dismissed, alleging that San Antonio lawyer Michael McCrum was improperly sworn in to prosecute the criminal ...

The charges are a bogus, vindictive act by a shamed liberal! They should be dropped and Rosemary Lehmberg should be forced to resign! Perry 2016!!

I knew the lowlife would try to find a crooked way out. Thank God he will never be President.

At this point, I give up on politics. It's just a s**tstorm on both sides of the aisle and I am just done. I can see why no one wants to vote.

If he's so sure that no offense occurred, the Guvnor should invoke his speedy trial rights and get it on. With the procedural foreplay approach that's being pursued, which, even if successful, would result in an appeal, 2014 will become 2015, and possibly, 2016. The only tactic to preserve his potential presidential bid is to get acquitted - QUICK.
