Representative Denny has introduced a bill that would prohibit prosecutions of Legislators if not approved by the Ethics Commission.
Under the bill, county or district attorneys could not conduct an investigation on their own initiative. He or she would present the case to the Texas Ethics Commission, which would study election laws and determine whether a crime has been committed.If the Ethics Commission did not recommend criminal charges, "a prosecuting attorney may not prosecute a person for the alleged violation," according to the bill.

The Burnt Orange Report writes about this today
, albeit without elementary Photoshop skills. They also suggest you call Denny's office, (Rep. Denny 512.463.0688). We called, but all we could think of to say was, "Are you huffing glue?" We should really stop getting drunk and calling elected officials...it's just embarrassing for all of us.My life's been basically bland today. More or less nothing seems worth thinking about. My mind is like an empty room. I've more or less been doing nothing to speak of. Not much on my mind recently.
I haven't gotten anything done today. I feel like a fog, but what can I say? I've just been letting everything wash over me lately, not that it matters. Shrug.
My mind is like a bunch of nothing, but I guess it doesn't bother me. I haven't been up to anything recently. I've pretty much been doing nothing to speak of.

Mary Denny is now back-pedaling as fast as she can. (Let's all pause for a second or two to contemplate that image.) She didn't think the bill would do what its plain language says it would do? And, let's see here ... she's the chair of the committee that's supposed to consider these bills?
Ouch.
