There seem to be no controls over DAs & judges, & no limits to the harm they can do to others. "The legal system is now our enemy." What organizations & groups are now working, to try to get some controls put over the bad judges & bad district attorneys, & to hold them accountable for their crimes, for the harm they've done? Susan, Su_Texas my opinions

Texas DA's are all elected. That is the only check on them, as the appellate courts are giving applauding approval to everything they do. Lawyer slept thru trial? No problem. DNA test shows the guy is innocent. Conviction still stands. Sheesh..........

============== As far as I can remember, they're Not fairly elected, because when they run unopposed (as they often do, because people are too terrified to run against them, or speak out against them), ... there's no way to vote against them. None! There should be three lines on the ballot: Joe Jones Not Joe Jones Write-In That way, we could get these low-life, sleazy & sadistic little crime-lards (DAs & judges) out of office, & allow/encourage someone else to safely run. There are also problems with vote-fixing, voting fraud in Texas, which LBJ referred to as "winning with Box 13". Are the DAs in other states, allowed to do any crimes they want, no limits no boundaries? Or is this just in Texas? Susan, Su_Texas my opinions

The Chicago Tribune did a four-part series a few years ago about how DA's routinely fabricated evidence and hid evidence to convict innocent people. Even after being caught redhanded, there was not only no punishment, but many of them are now judges. The situation was so out of control that the governor had to commute ALL death sentences last year. The moral of the story is that the public will forgive any lie or perjury as long as it is done in the cause of "tough on crime". Jose Padilla, anyone?

=============== I got this email about changing the ballot, so we can vote the vermin out of office: The suggestions you have made require a change in the law regarding elections. Such changes can only occur through the legislative process, which requires a state representative or legislature to address the issue during a legislative session. Current Texas law allows for the cancellation of an election if there are no opposed candidates. Additionally, write-in candidates must declare their intent to seek office as a write-in. Therefore, in order to see the changes you have suggested, there would need to be statutory authority provided by the legislature, as described above. If you have any specific information about the intimidation of individuals desiring to run against incumbent officeholders, please contact the County or District Attorney, and/ or the Attorney General's office. We hope this information has been helpful. Please feel free to contact our office via e-mail or toll-free at 1-800-252-8683 (VOTE), should you have any further questions. Elections Division Texas Secretary of State
