Texas Perry abuse-of-power dismissal amid leadership critique
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals dismissed the final abuse-of-power charge against former Gov. Rick Perry in 2013 for threatening to veto funds to the Public Integrity Unit. The ruling critiques blame on political egos, notes separation of powers concerns, but condemns the broader partisan fight that hindered reform and may boost public corruption risks in Texas.

Evangelicals back Trump in rout despite Cruz bid
The piece observes Trump’s sweeping evangelical support on Super Tuesday, noting Cruz failed to halt him outside Oklahoma and Texas. It argues evangelicals seek protection and boldness over shared creed, while Trump’s persona and antiestablishment stance override criticisms of his personal history or biblical accuracy, leaving only a concerted attack on his image as a solution.
