Just Texas politics as usual .
The two dissenting judges also suggested that the case’s arc was greatly impacted by who the defendant was.
“It seems clear to me that it has decided to employ any means necessary in order to vacate the two felony counts against Governor Rick Perry,” Judge Lawrence Meyers wrote. “The majority opinion has repealed more statutes and made more new law than Governor Perry did in the last session of the legislature when he tried to muscle out the elected Travis County District Attorney.”
Michael McCrum, the special prosecutor in the case, called the ruling “horrendous.”
“This is a situation where the Republican court carved out a special ruling to get Perry off the hook. It changes law for past decades and offers no laws for future courts to follow,” he said. “This is, from what I understand, a special ruling tailor-made for Rick Perry.”
Perry announces he’s fit, rested & ready.
He’s come out for Cruz but will serve if asked! (Yeah, right.)

Anyone from the discussions two years ago have anything to say?
What is made clear about the “clear reasoning” by posting a reference to a case that non-lawyers may not know how to access. How about quoting what you think supports your assertions.
Do you have anything to say regarding my recent post #461 ?

You are quoting the dissenting judges and the losing prosecutor? It would seem their arguments were not correct.
Here is the majority opinion . Goolged it. Took two seconds.
