An Astonishing Abuse of Process...
From Expresso Pundit.
If there is anyone out there who questions my assertion that Andrew Thomas is unfit to serve as Attorney General, take a look at the astonishing abuse of the Grand Jury process that was unsealed yesterday.
With such flagrant and well documented ethical violations, I don't see how Thomas could possibly still be a licensed attorney this time next year.
Meanwhile, people often ask me about Tom Horne. Sure, I understand the concern. Horne was pretty moderate during his legislative tenure. If you have been reading espresso pundit for more than a few minutes, you will know that I'm not very patient with moderate Republicans.
But Horne's not running for Congress, he's running for Attorney General, so I have a different set of criteria. I'm not concerned about his view on abortion or the Commerce Clause. I want to know if he is a good lawyer and if he will defend and enforce the laws of this state.
I've worked with Horne for the several years in his capacity as Superintendent and he's done a great job. He defended the state in the Flores case. And he's done a great job getting rid of the outrageous "Raza" programs at TUSD. Horne also supported charter schools and has been with us on educational choice issues.
He may be pro-choice, but he supported parental consent as well as the ban on partial birth abortion--and he has pledged to defend the laws that the legislature passes.
So I can say that from a Conservative perspective, I'm not simply voting against Thomas. I'm very comfortable voting for Tom Horne.
And if Horne doesn't win the Primary...? Ok, then I'll simply be voting against Thomas.
